Portable App Development

Hi everybody,

First, I want to thank all of you for making me keep trying new things without worrying about my PC's stability... thank you

I just decided to join this community and will help as much as I can!
So I start it easy! Fofix is already portable itself (I'm not really a gamer but played this one for few days and liked it),
so I just had to make a little launcher.ini to make it fully portable

(I think!)

Some help needed please:

I noticed that the people from the PDF Toolkit have taken up developments again and issued new releases of their command-line tool.
Could this be a cue for either Angus Johnson or people from PortableApps to consider further improving their excellent PDF-splitter-joiner-rotator-whathnot tool?

Angus does not provide contact details on his homepage, so I thought maybe PortableApps knows how to contact him.
Cheers,
Stephan

Hello to All:

Greetings from Mexico.

For me, the PA platform is fantastic and unprecedented for Windows!
I have been longing for a unified platform like for Linux. This is it!

I wish it could cover more apps, especially those made portable already
by distributors, such as Jdownloader, DC++. PA does not need to
repack or host a copy for downloading, but need to manage the update
info just like the others. I think it is much easier to get agreement with
distributors. Thanks a million!

The Portable Apps programs have been extremely beneficial to me in my work environment, and couldn’t have come at a better time. I was wondering if there’s anything in the works to have a Portable Apps desktop environment? Although the PA program is similar with the available programs and documents folder, but I would like to see something that simulates the Windows XP/7 desktop.

Hiyo, I'm trying to create a portableapp, I'm mostly done, but I'm having trouble with the icon.

I'm trying to create an icon that contains all the required formats

16px - 256 color (8-bit)
32px - 256 color (8-bit)
48px - 256 color (8-bit)
16px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)
32px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)
48px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)

I have no idea how to do this. I am using IcoFX and GIMP

I recently pulled my USB at a bad time and it needed a reformat to function, and I went to the PortableAppsBackup folder and irritatingly hadn't backed it up in over a year.

There should be a way to create a completely portable version of Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2010. I think that if you used thinapp you could create a portable executable of the program. I already know of a portable version of Visual Basic Express 2008 that was created using thinapp. The link to it is here:

This is the 2008 version. Judging by this, wouldn't it make sense that if you used the exact same method on the 2010 version of visual basic express, you could create a portable version of it? Could someone please try it and let me know?

I am having trouble finding how to use java portable. I need to compile *.java files to *.class files, and then run those *.class files from java portable.

I think it is illegal for me to make these software in PA.c Format, I'm a single person so I think PortableApps.com should ask Piriform for permission.
