Portable App Development

I find this portable app concept incredibly useful. I work in a computer test lab, so I have my desk PC's, home PC's, and hundreds of test PC's in a lab that I use. Being able to take my applications with me and use them rather than downloading, setting them up, and then using them in each location is awesome. I have only one complaint; I never know if I'm up to date.

When you go to install a Portable App through the menu, you still have to say you agree with where it's going to install it. Wouldn't it make sense to just have it install automatically without needing to know where if it is installing through the menu?

I mean, If i'm using the menu, there is only one place it should be installing to, shouldn't it?

You could have a command line switch to run between a normal installation and an installation through a menu, so that when run normally, it asks where to save it.

Does anybody know what launcher to look at if there is data in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data?

Or what variable to use? I'm writing a launcher for an app that stores data there and in the registry.

Thanks

I've noticed that a lot of people have been requesting apps that are dependent on .NET framework. I found this on Sourceforge and was wondering if this could be integrated into the PA Suite. I don't know the licenses of .NET so I don't even know if this is legal, but I thought it would be worth checking out:

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I searched and didn't see it.

Hi Travis,
I don't know if this is a bug, let's call this a missing feature

You could choose Custom Colors in ConvertAll.

• Options --> Set background color --> Add to Custom Colors or
• Options --> Set text color --> Add to Custom Colors

These colors are saved in the Registry:

• HKCU\Software\Trolltech\OrganizationDefaults\Qt\customColors

Your launcher doesn't save and restore this key, it only deletes the key. So the Custom Colors are lost at next launch.

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a tutorial (for semi newbs) on how to edit the code of a portable app. Basically I want to edit a program to write an output to a text file, just as a way to get started with this (so cool). Any help is greatly appreciated

My mind has gone blank.

I vaguely remember discussing with John a few months ago on hiding the default Blender splash with the NSIS script. Unfortunately I no longer have my 2.46 file set anymore and cannot remember what I did or even which papp was used as reference for adding to my script.

Can someone please nudge me in the right direction so I can update Blender Portable 2.48 to 2.48a?

I will be leaving the console screen intact still as it is beneficial. I may need to look at a better icon though, as yet I have not had chance.

First note : not sure this is the better forum to post in, so feel free to move my message.
Second note : please excuse my english (damn frenchs people, always sleeping in english courses )

Suggestion for PortableApps: allow the install/update program for all apps to take three (3) optional command line parameters:
- a "Wait for User Input" switch defaulted to Yes
- the path to the parent directory of the program defaulted to null
- an alternative Destination Folder for the install/update currently already defaulted
