Hi!
Today I've created another small & tiny theme. I bet you say "Ahh!" when you see it (because you know it very well). Yes, I love toys, and I like to remember to my childhood. So many years ago (I'm an old grumpy man) there are many treasures working without electricity... Yes, I'll stop now Smile

Making Nero portable?

Submitted by nnezz on January 31, 2008 - 6:24am

Please note, I'm NOT suggesting this for a portable app for this site.

I use Nero and Recode a lot. Unfortunately Nero makes a big mess when it is installed and I would love if I could make a portable version which could be tugged away in, and launched from, a single folder. Clean in, Clean out. No mess.

GPG Again

Submitted by rab040ma on January 23, 2008 - 11:28am

I'm looking at portable-izing something that uses GPG. My hunch is that it would be good to put GPG in \PortableApps\CommonFiles\gnupg or something like that. But I notice that Thunderbird Portable seems to have ThunderbirdPortable\app\gpg as the place it looks (unless one uses the optional ThunderbirdPortable.ini).

I suppose if installing on a removable device without TBP I could create the TBP directory tree and use gpg from there (or try to).

Or I could just put a copy in another \apps\gpg ...

Or I could see if I can get CommonFiles\gnupg or gpg or something working.

Features ideas/suggestion/request

Submitted by Amadou on January 22, 2008 - 11:20pm

Hello,
using portableapps, 2 suggestions came recently to my mind

1. Ability to configure the position of the portableapps menu on the screen. In my desktop configuration the Windows menu bar is located on the left side of the screen (meaning the portableapps quick launch icon is located on the bottom left corner). It would be more convenient if I could open portable apps menu on the left of the screen too.

Quick question on the license (GNU)

Submitted by technosinner on January 21, 2008 - 1:07pm

Hello everyone.

Simple, simple question to which I want to be 100% sure and I don't want to misread or some crap alike that I'm perfectly capable of screwing up royal!

I want to use some Portableapps in here, with a custom launcher (not the PA.com menu) for my work place. It is a government organization therefore no profit will be made from or trhough the use of this piece of software or anything included. Is this okay? Am I free to redistribute this budled up launcher to my co-workers?

Right now I'm trying to make my first app, with the PortaLaunch Launcher. I got it good to the most part, but I can't find how to do the Installer. (I'm somewhat fluent with NSIS). I'm uploading what I got so far, If it'll help (the source to tuxtype is almost impossible to find!). It's here. Thanks!
