Portable App Development

I think that PortableApps, as awesome as it is, should get a updating applications feature. I think that if there is a new release that the application for the portable devices should automatically download and ask the user if s/he would like to upgrade.

This would be an easier feature to use so the user doesn't have to delete the folder, re-install it and it automatically does it itself.

I mean, it's not hard, but the luxuries of having it do the update itself is awesome and easy in my opinion.

Anyways, just thought I'd let you know what I thought.

Hi guys,
I found this on portablefreeware forum:
http://www.disoriented.com/FreeExtractor/
...looks like a useful little utility...

FreeExtractor is the easiest way to create self-extracting archives for Windows from existing ZIP files. It is an excellent open-source solution for packaging software programs and for distributing files to friends and colleagues over the Internet.

is there any way to detect if a drive is flash media or not? someone said john may have a tool that does that but i don't know and i didn't see anything for it on the nsis plugins page.

I am currently writing an document management application. Everything will be stored in an Sqlite database. It is designed to support AES encryption. It is being written in JavaScript (wxJavaScript). Its name is Krypton.

However, I am still pondering this point. How can I detect if the encryption password is correct? I planned on using an MD5 and SHA1 hash to compare it to. Would that create any security vulnerabilities?

 
Are there any other things I should be concerned about?
 
Thank you.

Is there any way to make a Menu in NSIS (drop down menu, checkboxes, etc) or at least is there a way to do a messagebox with Button1 or Button2 instead of yes or no?

Hi, guys! I want to build some apps, but I can't find splash screen (standart, used in last versions of FireFox and other apps) template. Who have this tamplate in Photoshop or GIMP format post please. Sorry for my pure English, I hope all understand me.

I was trying to make a special launcher for some apps. The compiler keeps spitting out errors. Here's the source code:

Hey,

I noticed that OpenOffice.org 2.4 has had its first release candidate made available. Perhaps a test release could be made similar to Firefox 3 betas have?
