So, I have a piece of OSS, I've been able to make run off a removable disk.
The software is called PINs. It's another password-wallet, like KeePass.

I installed NSISPortable from the test apps. I zipped the proggie, and chose the option to make an installer from a zip. I renamed it PINsPortable.paf.exe.

Submitted by giorgiotani on May 19, 2008 - 9:03am

Hi, it is available PeaZip 2.1, full changelog here: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

Most prominent updates are:
1) PeaZip has become a general purpose file and archive manager, allowing to manage items both in the filesystem and in archives. The file manager allow robust file move/copy operations, quick or secure deletion, file hashing or comparison and many other handy functions. (in Tools > Settings, second tab, it is possible to set startup interface if someone prefer the classic 2.0 application's behaviour).

K if any of you have used my launchers you know that by clicking the launcher, it will open IE or firefox and redirect for download if you do not have the App in the App\(Appname) folder. But my question is this, is there a way to have the launcher read what is the default internet browser on the computer, by reading the registry for it? Thanks for help in advance Smile

Submitted by Travis Carrico on May 16, 2008 - 4:20pm

what is the language environment variable for the upcoming platform that many of the apps are now including updates for? i see that Keepass checks "PortableApps.comLocaleWinName" but TaskCoach checks "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc". also what will be returned from the variable? or should i even include it in my program yet?
