Portable App Development

Portable Apps has really been a blessing for many of us who have to work on computers other than our own. However, I would like to see PA go a step further in the creation of an entire portable OS.

I am aware that it is very close to that now, and I'm sure that there are those that will argue with me and say that it is it's own OS, but what I'm referring to is an OS, so complete that it is similar to XP Mode in Windows 7.

Hi guys, I've been reading through the various forum topics about splash screens, but there still is no definitive topic about adding splashes to apps.

Some of the topics I read:

Introducing Codec_Pack_for_CoolPlayerPlus_Portable_2.19.2.paf.exe and iTunesLike_Skin_for_CoolPlayerPlus_Portable_2.19.2.paf; two minor CoolPlayer+ enhancements giving your portable CoolPlayer+ a revamp.

Codec_Pack_for_CoolPlayerPlus_Portable_2.19.2.paf.exe is a plug-in containing several input codecs for CoolPlayer+ some of which include such formats as .aac, .wma, Lossless audio, even .bonk and support for CD playback.

The primary purpose of the app, which I want to make portable, is to record internetradio-streams. It's my goal, to create a subfolder called Downloads in AppnamePortable\Data. If the user of the app wish to save streams, per default these streams should be stored in the folder Downloads. Which command I need in this case?

Hi,

I have found an error of PortableApps.com Launcher 2.0 and UTF-8 with BOM.
If AppNamePortable.ini is saved in UTF-8 with BOM, the generated launcher cannot start. If it is saved without BOM all is right.
Please add an comment on this site until the error is resolved: https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/intro/overview/

Hi!

Please make an video-tutorial with who to make portable an app...
Is no need to "prepare" your desktop, your speech, or something else, just please make a movie with your desktop's activity, when you make portable an app.

That will help all of people (or a big part of) who want to make an portable app.
And, please, don't say me "use the XXX software or YYY software" or "read HERE an THIS".

I readed this tutorial, but... something I don't understand... something more...

Hi there !
I'm currently looking to improve my Steam Portable launcher, but some dependencies are making me crazy. And that's why I'm posting here, I need some little help :
With my launcher, I'd like to put some multiple regkey handling, that is to say that the user will only put in a .ini file all the registry keys he wants to backup (these keys separated to each other by ||, like in the PortableApplicationTemplate famous on Internet). But what sort of code should I use in order to make my launcher able to manipulate all these keys without any problem, and with one single piece of code ?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some XML help. I have set up a PA.c package of JabRef, but I haven't been able to get XML attribute file writing working. Here's the XML file, with the relevant lines highlighted, and here's the launcher.

Thanks for any insights!

Just a heads up that unfortunately I'll be shutting down the Nascent-Project.org hosting on September 1, 2011. I figured this is a fair bit a notice to allow any developers still hosting on my server to seek out alternate hosting options. SourceForge is a bit of work, but it does work. Luckily it seems that only Simeon, prapper, and Bart.S have been hosting there in recent months.
