Portable App Development

I'm doing a piece of NSIS at the moment to backup registry keys or values found by a search in the registry.
As it's almost finished, I wanted to do a quick test, but the NSIS compiler always gives me these warnings

12 warnings:
  unknown variable/constant "{_SearchFor}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:54)
  unknown variable/constant "{_SearchFor}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:56)
  unknown variable/constant "{_Type}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:59)

Hello,

I ran into appcompactor and found it easy to use upx gui.

I am wondering whether it would be suitable or not to include optipng inside it; that software is designed to minimize the size of portable network graphics without any loss of detail.

under windows in a batch file I can do
for /r . %%G in (*.png) do optipng -o7 %%G

under linux, find . -iname "*.png" -exec optipng -o7 {} \;

It works pretty well and can be useful to reduce even more the size of some portable apps.

Have a nice day and thanks for offering that application,

Sorry if this seems short, I'm on the run atm.

Could somebody please get me a springboard icon? The default launcher icon in Ubuntu would be great, if somebody could get it. If not, don't worry about it; I'll try to get it later today.

I've got a new app ready to go except for the icon, and a springboard is just what I need.

Thanks!

Hi,
PortableApps.com should create a portable version of Adobe Flash Player. It's just a recommendation.

One of the last plug-in needed for Unicode NSIS, is MoreInfo !

I've tried to contact the developer, but he doesn't seem to be actively developing this plug-in any more since 2006.

As it is developed with Borland Delphi v7.1.1, I'm not able to do anything with this.

Can anybody help to modify this plug-in to be used with Unicode NSIS ???

I'm working on NVDA right now; it's pretty simple settings-wise (everything is self-contained), but it has a DLL's (IAccessible2Proxy.dll) that invariably gets locked by Explorer. Any ideas on breaking the lock?
I thought of doing a regsvr32 /u call, but I'm using PAL, which doesn't seem to support that kind of thing yet.

Several months ago I posted about VLC Portable leaving stuff in &APPDATA and IIRC the post was ignored, which I took to mean "we can't reproduce it" or "we don't know what to do about it". (Silence is possibly the mother of assumption.)

I have an idea that might lead to a solution or at least an explanation.

Is there any way to make it where eXpresso only associates files on the portable-drive to the designated programs(ie run mkv on vlcportable)? That way, even if eXpresso is running, the hosts files on the hosts computer will still run on their own designated programs(ie run mkv on Media Player Classic).

Often times applications are placed on a removable drive and then needed in another directory. The problem with this is that shortcuts will break when the drive letter changes. One solution is to have several copies of one application scattered throughout your drive, however your data becomes scattered and you lose precious space on your drive. PAM.S.C. aims to provide a better solution. Leave your applications in one directory and create a small app (21 kB) that can be placed anywhere on that drive that then starts your application. It's not your conventional shortcut, it's shortcut2.0!
