Portable App Development

Hi,

Is it possible to make a special version with irfanview's misc components ?

I use often jpg_transform.dll in thumbnails' windows to make a JPG lowless rotation with my files.

Thanks a lot for your work

Alright, being new to these forums, I don't exactly know where to put this. This is my first post, but it'll help those who have been looking for this.

While Digsby, the IM Client, is not currently supported by the PortableApps.com platform, the Digsby official installer recently added a 'Portable' option. The Digsby project has recently announced that it will be going open source soon, and I hope that will allow PortableApps.com to add Digsby to the platform natively.

I've been thinking about the current kind of the numbering of revisions and I have come to the conclusion, that it is somehow inconclusive. Instead of starting with the number 1 for first revision, this first revision gets the number 2. It's absolutely weird. It may be true, that this number 2 indicate on the second and simultaneously revised version of the program, but it still remains the first actual revision.

Hi!

First: I'm not a developer...

There is a bug in the TeamViewer Portable. The settings don't get saved, but it is possible:

In the TeamViewer.ini file there is the option "nosave" that is set to 1 by default in the portable version. When this option is set to 0 TeamViewer saves the options in the registry in HKCU\Software\TeamViewer. So these options could be saved with the PortableApps.com Launcher...

I've been trying to make an installer for the app I just put together. After editing the script a bit and making sure I have the files it wants, it still won't compile properly because of an error with uninstall functions that I can't find anywhere in the script. Anyone have any ideas about it?

I finally managed to fix my bricked Seagate hard drive the other day, and looking through some backups of my now lost flash drive, I was completely in nostalgia..

Anyway, I came across FlashBin, an AutoItv3 application that I requested in the off topic forums and Eric Pilsits was kind enough to create with enough interest. For those who do not know, FlashBin's purpose was to create a USB Drive specific Recyble Bin. Any files you delete on your flash drive automatically goes to X:\Trash instead.

i want to know if the Portable apps platform can be customized easily to have restricted app installs and be able to do background updates of non-active apps. the reason i ask is i am working at a school and i want to implement the portable apps platform so every user will have their app settings saved on their network home directory and not on the local machine, but i don't want them to be able to install the games and such that can be installed with the platform.

any ideas?

thanks in advanced!

I'm trying to learn how the launcher works, and make a program portable, by examining other PortableApps. I ran into trouble though. I found that FoxIt Portable uses the following in it's launcher.ini.

[DirectoriesMove]
-=%APPDATA%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader
-=%APPDATA%\Foxit Software\RMS

This unfortunately, completely lost me. What is the -= at the beginning of those lines about? What I'm trying to do is this. I have a program that writes data to the location

%USERPROFILE%\.Arachnophilia

At the moment I'm figuring out, how to use GoogleChromePortable as local Browser for a CD-MP3-playback-system.

• Would it be difficult to add LocalHomepage-functionality to the ChromePortableLauncher?
• As I'm not familiar with NSIS, where can i get help?
• Where in the existing sources to insert this function?
• How to "compile" the exe?
• . . .

Why?

I'm making a launcher for an app that's already portable, and ran into a road block. There is an ini file in the Data\settings directory that contains the last drive and last directory the app was run from. My question is this, how do you deal with the portable app being moved.
