I think that many of the users here have found themselves staying up too late and wishing the next day that they had something that would tell them when to go to sleep or when to do something. So I am proposing that a All in one Clock be made. So you could put in your own reminders, set a specific date, time, or week for your computer to Turn off, standby, hibernate or restart. Then you could even have your computer do certain tasks at certain times, such as locking down for your lunch break, playing your favorite song, or just running another program, etc.

Hey all,
This is kinda a general request for help. While working on Frets on Fire Portable I keep running into a slight problem. One in-game mod works but the other one does not. I first mentioned it here and have not gotten a response. I have tried everything I can, and have been working on this non-stop for the past and hoped to have the problem fixed be the today but it has not worked at all. So if anyone can take a look at it I would really grateful

guidance/create portable application/klavaro

Submitted by merhaba346 on October 3, 2008 - 10:45am

Hi,

I have been using portable applications for a while.

Now during my spare time i am trying to learn to make portable applications myself.

I have read the "Creating A Portable App: A Guerilla Field Guide" and understood some of it[i am new to this :)]. Downloaded the recommended software.

Now i am trying to make a portable klavaro ( http://klavaro.sourceforge.net/ ). It is a typing software.

I did manage to create initial package with a launcher.

However, every time i start the software, after the i see the "development test splash screen" it gives me a error message.

Firefox (Plugins)

I downloaded firefox and tried to play online games but when I go to them, it says i have to download plugins (Flash, Shockwave, etc...) so i download them. Then, i use a different computer, I have to download flsh again. I think that it actually downloads it to the computer that I'm on. So when I look online it says to download them as extentions if its portable (what?) so if anyone knows how to make a portable version of flash for firefox that you don't have to install over and over... please tell me. For now I use Opera (portable) (because it comes with flash).

BPBible Search

Submitted by rick on October 1, 2008 - 9:36am

I've been fiddling with BPBible this morning. It is much improved over an early development version and I am going to start using it instead of SwordProject and maybe even E-Sword.

I do have one sizable request, though. Please integrate the Search window into the main window. Perhaps below to the right with the Commentary window. Having the Search window pop up in front of the Bible text doesn't make much sense. One always has to move it.

Great job, much thanks!

AllowMultipleInstances of programs

Submitted by 2b2b on September 30, 2008 - 1:17pm

hi !

as we are using this great apps also on our servers, whereto we connect via terminal clients, it would be fine to be able to launch 2 or more instances of a portable app in the same time.

a recent example would be the process-explorer: if one instance is open @a term-window, on all other term-windows the launcher quits with the error: "shut down the running instance first.."

I've experimented rebuilding the processexplorer-launcher with the param "AllowMultipleInstances", but didn't succeed with this till now and the current paf seems to ignore this option in the ini-file.

SpeedFan portable is been worked on!

Submitted by ERDi on September 30, 2008 - 12:38pm

Hey fans of monitoring and controlling fans and temperatures,

Today I wrote a mail to Alfredo Milani Comparetti, the developer of SpeedFan, to ask him if he'd be interested in picking up the idea of creating a portable version of his lovely tool.
Now I've some happy news to announce, he is actually already working on a portable version of it and I can't wait for it to be released!
Just wanted to share this information with you and also win some of you for this great little piece of software!

Check Alfredo's page for the release:

Best regards,

Themes incorporating ToolTips

Submitted by MrTom on September 29, 2008 - 3:32pm

Have not been able to find a menu theme that incorporates the use of ToolTips. Would appreciate the name of any theme that does. If no theme is currently available would like information on the coding necessary to modify an existing theme and what file to modify? The only files I can find that seem to be relevant would be theme.ini or desktop.ini but unfortunately I am a novice in programming or writing themes.
Searching for "tooltips" does not seem to produce info to answer my questions.
Thanks,
Tom
