It could be interesting to get more folder-type icons to use with our Documents sub-folders. It's fine to have Videos, Pictures or Music folders, but I'm pretty sure most of us have other folders to store certain type of data.

For instance, I have the following general folders that might be interesting for others too:

- Downloads: for all stuff downloaded from the Internet.
- Library: where I store my eBooks
- File cabinet: where I move all the reference material and old documents I do not need any longer on a daily basis.

Hi everyone!

Is there an official temp folder?
I think OpenOffice uses X:/temp and I think Marko said this was the "official one". Is that the case?

I just want to be sure before I use it with Griffith Portable...

If I have a load of language files called...

French.lng
German.lng
Italian.lng
etc.


wouldn't it be better if I could just...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comName"

instead of...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc"

followed by all the

StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE "fr"
StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE "French"
etc.

?

Well, I first discovered this as I was making my first portable app... PokerTH Portable (I saw the version on this website hadn't been updated (but now it has)) an easy way to make a newer version was simply by going into AppNamePortable\App\AppName and deleting the old files and replacing them with the new ones. I tried this with Frets on Fire and it also worked.

I also had tried this with Assault cube portable (from .92 to 1.0.2) but that didn't work. I'm sure what causes this but I know that the other two apps worked just fine.

Greetings All,

1.Are there any themes for portable apps menu?

2.can I make my own themes/changes to menu?
If so procedure for it Customizing menu.

thanks,

How to other portable app developers hunt down all of the files left behind by an application? I did some searching through the forums, but I couldn't any references to programs that people use; Is there a way to make sure that nothing gets left behind, or do you eventually have to hope that you haven't missed anything?

I was hoping for something along the lines of RegShot for files, but that might be a bit much depending on how big the drive you are testing is.

How do you find errant files?

I have a .jar file which needs be open in java, i installed java on my portable device but do not know how to use the portable java with the file.

Please help me

Now that PortableApps.com is offering a portable Java JRE, having a portable Java JDK sounds good to.

The reason for this is if in the future programs such as Eclipse will be offered it will be more usefull to run them using a JDK due to the availability of the JDK tools and Java source with it.

We can also install the java docs to it (Manually or automatically), so Eclipse has access to the java documentation (api, javadoc) offline.
