Portable App Development

The official version of WinSCP is meanwhile 4.1 beta, the portable version is still 4.0.7. At winscp.net you only can get the German language file for 4.1. So average users of the current portable version don't have the chance to localize this application.

To avoid such difficulties in the future: Is it possible to use the "WinSCP Multilanguage installation package" from winscp.net as the base for the development of the next portable version? This would help all non-English users.

hi.
I have changed my fonts to 120 DPI because I've got a large display.
as a result I have this looks of portableapps menu:
PortableApps Menu Deformed

Please take care of it.

Thanks for a great bundle!

Would it be possible to drop the "Portable" suffix for display in the menu? The front page no longer uses the suffix in the list of updates, and it's kinda pointless in the menu, also. Would it be possible to just have the menu show the base name of the app?

Obviously Mozilla's stuff will have to retain the "Portable Edition" nomenclature, even in the menu, to keep Mozilla happy, but the other stuff... it just seems too verbose.

There are some times (like now) that I have a breaking need to use the PA.com logo, but I remember that what I'm making is unofficial and that I can't becuse it's trademarked/I don't have permission. Anyone got a good unofficial logo designed for unofficial matters???

I've been using the PAM R31 mod since it's release and recently encountered a situation I have not been able to resolve by myself. So, I'd appreciate suggestions. I have two questions:

So, I need everyones input on this if possible please.

So I'm curious, who here actually uses or has used Mac-on-Stick? Who here believes the Mac-on-Stick page should be removed? Who believes that it should stay?

Is it possible to add an existing portable application to the PortableApps menu without using the "Install a New App" option.

Im working with Oracle SQL Developer and Jdeveloper which are both portable. It would be extremely handy if i could add them to the PortableApps Menu so that I could access all my portable applications from one point. Can this be done?

These applications don't have the directory structure of the other official portable applications by portableapps.com

I’m starting work on making a portable version of ConTeXt, a TeX-based typesetting system similar in scope to LaTeX. Some of the associated utility programs, though, require Perl or Ruby. There are efforts at Portable Perl here and here, and Python here, but searching for Ruby turns up only this (two years old, and not integrated into the PortableApps system).
