Portable DSL linux

Submitted by Goodtimesnotcrimes on October 15, 2008 - 1:14pm

so, i have been using portable apps for a long time now, but i have only been a member for about a month. a wile ago i played with "mac on stick". it took me a little wile. but i got it, and if you have ever gone to the os section, above mac on stick it say linux "coming soon", and its been that way for a long time. i found, that if you look into Damn small linux, you can download an embeded version of it. off of one of the links on the site. this has a opening open. it was a little hard to download, at least for newbs, so if you would like me to email the folder to you.

I noticed that this program using 7z command version to compress files for backup, I also wish to compress files, but not for backup, to hide files in pics. https://portableapps.com/node/15648. That is the script I wrote that uses 7z command version, but I cannot get the added archive to go to the directory I want it to, and also the same with the extracted files later. I also have problems with folders that have spaces in them as it doesnt work for them. If you could give me any help or examples that would be greatly appreciated
Here is what I have so far..

Problem launching Java app with minimised console

Submitted by Matt Harris on October 14, 2008 - 5:30am

I'm working on a launcher for a Java application and wish to have the console window to be minimised at startup.

The use of the javaw.exe executable (instead of java.exe) is not a suitable solution as certain console messages need to be visible.

At the moment, the code snippet below launches successfully, but with a normal console window:

; create STARTUPINFO structure
System::Alloc /NOUNLOAD 68
Pop $5
System::Call /NOUNLOAD '*$5(i 68, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i 1, i 6, i, i, i, i, i)'
; create PROCESS_INFORMATION structure

Windows port for LGames

Right now, I'm working on packaging the whole LGames suite.
Unfortunately, 2 of the Apps I like best, LTris and LPairs, dont have windows ports. They are sourceode and linux only.

So my question is this:

Is there anyone willing and able to port them or help me giving it a try?
Or update LBreakout2 to the latest version?

I emailed the guy in charge and he would be greatful if we could find someone as all the windows ports werent done by him but different people.

Hi guys,
Here's MrBar again. I've done it for testing the new features of R34. Yesterday, Elite343 sends me a new theme where he packed some themes in one folder. I never realized this could be done. So I've stolen his idea to publish MrBar again Wink

Sunbird "custom export view" request

Submitted by uberoi on October 6, 2008 - 11:25am

I love Sunbird Portable. I use it to make a calendar I share with others. I am forced, for unrelated reasons, to share the calendar by exporting as a webpage or sometimes printing it. Both of these result in a multi-page list, starting at the beginning of the entire *year*, not "today." It's not pretty to look at, it isn't easy or quick to find something in, and I have no control over how I can export it.
