The online.paf installer fails to install when internet connection is slow. So these types of installers should give user a option to download the needed file using external download manager by displaying the download link when it fails to download the file. Then user can place the downloaded file next to the paf installer and run it again to install.

Hi,

I have always loved the Portable Apps, well, at least since I started using :p. But a functionality that I would like is to minimize the application(Portable Apps) to "notification icons" area of Windows. I don't know if already have this feature, but I'll appreciate this functionality.

Best Regards,

Hello all,

I have a database app that I would like to make portable. When it starts, it wants to read its configuration from an *.INI. The location for the *.INI is hard-coded in the single executable, it's always C:\Books-db\bdb.ini. The mapping for the actual database file is in that *.ini. The *.ini gets heavily modified in every session.

What I want to achieve is that I can keep both the *.exe and the database file on the stick. When it launches, I would like to copy the *.ini to C:\, to the folder it wants and after the program is done, I would like to copy the *.ini back.

Hello
I'm make portable installer with online download. Downloadable exe is nullsoft installer. When unpack this, in App\MyApp i'm see $PLUGINSDIR directory but really dont need it. How to skip unpacking this folder?

Hi.
Been using portable apps for over 8 years now, and there are two features that annoy me in the newer releases of the launcher. The first one is inability to run from Program files folder, but that was explained and probably not in the users power to change.
Another one is this popup which appear in newer versions of Windows when you shutdown the PC without exiting the portable app. The next time you start the app, it shows a window saying the app must be closed with one single button OK.

I am trying to make Kindle for PC in portable format and i created successfully the portable launcher and then i run a scan with Regshot to see what changes in the system the program makes. It stores some data in the local AppData folder which i moved with:

[DirectoriesMove]
config=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Amazon.

But i have problem with the registry settings. In the regshot scan log there are three entries related to the registry:

Keys added: 48
Values added: 45
Values modified: 15
