Portable App Development

Hey guys,

I wanted my copy of PortableFirefox to cleanup the leftovers of Flash when quitting Firefox.

According to the launcher.ini documentation I made a FirefoxPortable.ini under FirefoxPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher and inserted

[DirectoriesCleanupForce]
1=%APPDATA%\Roaming\Macromedia
2=%APPDATA%\Local\Macromedia


However it's not working and the Macromedia folders are still sitting there after I quit Firefox...

Any suggestions?

thanks

hello

I trying create a fully portable app launcher and I find some difficulties.

What I need is launch command before and after myportableapp.exe

sequence example:
1. command for windows firewall create exception
2. ProgramExecutable=myportableapp.exe
3. command for windows firewall delete exception

I would like to say thanks to John for helping me to build the package of the FreeCommander XE 2014 PortableApps.
You can find the download on the site http://freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm.

Marek

I was just now on the Free Commander website and saw that they had a PortableApps app format download for:

- FreeCommanderPortable_2014_Build_650.paf.exe -

http://www.freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm

This isn't the same as your site as it is stating
version 2009.02b

I was wondering if this is a legit download or whether I should wait for the PortableApps.com site to be updated, if it is to be done, as this version may be a bit pre-mature.

thanks in advance for you help

I have I problem with making an plugin of SciTe for AHK_L. According to the readme of SciTe the directory needs to look like...
AutoHotkey
|_______ AutoHotkey.exe
|_______ AutoHotkey.chm
|_______ SciTE
_________|______ scite.exe
_________|______ etc...

But the result I get is....
AutoHotkey
|_______ AutoHotkey.exe
|_______ AutoHotkey.chm
|_______ SciTE
_________|______ App
_________________|___ Scite
______________________|____ scite.exe
______________________|____ ...
_________|______ Data
_________|______ .....

What am I doing wrong?

As I checked the manual of PortableApps.comLauncher,
i didn't find a section in launcher.ini to setup charset for portable applications.

So i just wrote some customized nsis script to export charset environment variable.
Hopefully it is usefull for you.

The logic is:

Check PAL:LanguageCustom value,
if not set use English as default.

Use the result as a key to get value from section [LanguageCharsetMap]
and export the value as PAL:CharsetCustom.

If not found then use DefaultCharset in section [Language]
or UTF-8 as fallback.

Code is below:

I've created an installation package using the PortableApps Installer.

But when I start the package, it wants to install to the same folder where original files were stored, which is in my development folder on partition D.

How do I tell PortableApps Installer to use a different folder (for example: C:\MyApp)? Couldn't find a value that specifies default installation folder in the installer.ini file.

Maybe nobody said it (or nobody wants to attract flames) but the PortableApps folder structure is unnecessary complicated. I see absolutely no reason for so many subfolders, some of which enter the App space itself. It can all be made much simpler.

- Why would I need a separate launcher app? Most of apps can be launched without a separate launcher program. If necessary, a simple symbolic link (shortcut) would suffice. And if it doesn't suffice, then a launcher can be specified in the special ini file.

Hi,
I installed PNotes on my pc. The fonts are too small default Microsoft San Serif, 8pt. I change font type & size for Content and Caption but the Content never updates itself. I can't find any other way to accomplish it. I also have a few notes with 'Untitled' options... and don't know how to change that either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Charles
