Portable App Development

Hallo,
i´ve read a lot of the documentation, ini-files etc. but couldnt find anything regarding the following question.

Is there a way to use an alternative data dir (e.g. via commandline option) after the start of an portable app?

Hello!

I tried to make the current Inkscape development version portable which worked pretty good except of one thing: It seems that Inkscape is creating a folder in Temporary Internet Files for some icons (e.g. Temporary Internet Files\inkscape\icons\16x16\bitmap-trace.png).
Does someone of you have an Idea if there is a possibility to handle this folder?

Regards,
Leon

Hey everyone. In my quest to work on my own app, I did some changes to the Launcher that I'd like to share. Head over to the SourceForge folder I put my changes in. The readme file there explains the changes I made and what files they affect. I hope this gets the launcher one step closer to being ready for when the OpenJDK becomes official. Thanks again gluxon for the work in packaging the OpenJDK.

In my version of MiKTeX Portable I am running into a problem that I thought I had fixed already. When the program is run it opens the MiKTeX tray icon which is not actually the process that is launched originally. Instead, it leaves a process running called "miktex-taskbar-icon.tmp". Until recently, I had no problems with it, so I assumed it was correctly handling this process. On the most recent Dev Test, I put in some configuration file moving which a user pointed out to me isn't working properly.

Suppose I have a *.txt file, in which I want to alter a value in a special line. This *.txt file may look as follows:

line 1: any entry
.
.
.
.
line n: [sectionname]
line n+1: value
.
.
.

Of course, the terms line 1, line 2, ... does not really appear in the *.txt, but only in the editor. My question is now, how can I change the value in line n+1? Has anyone an idea?

First of all, I'm a designer not a developer so this may just be a waste of time if the conversion isn't simple.

I am wanting to package the uGet Portable app into a PortableApps.com compatible format.

uGet Portable is actually a .ZIP that contains all of the dependencies and such but it is not in any particular portable format.

uGet is written in C and utilizes GTK+ runtime. Of course, Windows doesn't come with GTK+ so the portable app has it included in the zip.

To launch the portable app you extract the zip, open the "bin" folder and run the file "uget.exe".

Can someone please pick up the dev of this magnificent software ?

even the download link is not working.

Has the development of speed crunch completely stopped?

For the following considerations I assume, that a portable app called "AppName" stores its settings in the registry key HKCU\Software\AppName. Furthermore this app is able to run multiple instances simultaneously.

1. Case 1: The portable app uses the default values of the 2 keys
