Discuss portable app development and modification of existing apps.

Linux

I note that there has been some discussion regarding supporting Linux, is this development still active/underway?

Also, will the applications run natively or will the implementation use an emulation layer such as Wine?

Hello everybody,
I have developped a new portable software (a sticky note like freeware) and I would like to submit it to this site. How can I do it ?
For now, it is a single zip file containing the executable plus some data files (already downloadable on my site). How can I made it compatible with "portable apps." ?
Thanks for any help.

When Posting a New "Dev Test", "alpha, beta, gamma" or what ever you want to call it,
i.e. a new app for the first time, not Dev1 to Dev2 etc.

Please include All the following information:

What is the state of things so far?

What testing have YOU already done?
Is the app currently working [for you]?
Are Files/folders left behind?, If so, where? How did you check?
Are Registry Settings left behind? If so, where? How did you check?
Did you test as Admin/Limited user?
OS's you tested on ...
If your Launcher is based on an existing one, which one?

Updates

I'm glad to see all the new activity and new progress comming on the site and it's apps. And it's also nice that the site seems to have gone more and more away from just John working and on to multiple devolpers on apps. I do have one request though. John would it be possible to bring back the updates? I don't think we really need them every single month but every 2 or 3 weeks I think would be appropriate. Also I made a post about it earlier but I didn't get any responses. What is the rule for app themeing?

Menu Question: App Name Retrieval System

Yes, I still want to make an app uninstaller manager for the Platform and since xopher (maggotb0y) has a system of plugins implemented, I could write it in NSIS or AHK and it'll integrate into the future platform. But I would still have to know how the menu gets all the apps stuff. I managed to open up the source (after realizing that I should open the .pas file instead of the .dcu). Of course, I had no real experience in GUI structuring and had no idea how to find the section/method that finds all the names of the menu items.
