Portable App Development

I'm fiddling with a launcher and am curious how to check for a specific application installed.

In my case I want to check for Firefox Portable (and other compatible browsers) installed and use it to open a html file, otherwise default to the default browser.

Does PA use some ini file I could query the locations of installed apps?

I'm looking a way to use the PA preferred application to open the file and might take in account any changed foldernames or multiple versions installed.

John,

Just wanted to touch base and see where you are with the Wireshark Portable that you alluded to in another post.

I contributed the U3 packaging for Wireshark and have recently been working on a Portable Apps version - before seeing your comment. (Is there somewhere else I could find out what was in progress?)

My version is very simple - just packaging, no code changes required to WS itself. It takes the same simple/dumb approach for WinPcap as the U3 version - just runs the installer if it can't detect WinPcap is already installed, and removes it when it's done.

Trick or threat!

In addition to a portable HDD with Toucan I use a PDA running Windows CE which comes with an application called ActiveSync that synchronises the PDA and a PC continuously as changes are made to files on either device.

Is there any chance that a feature of this sort could / will be added to Toucan?

H2 & H3 will follow the next days.
Beware!

I have noticed that the only file verification prog in PA is the md5check, and so I thought I might try to add my own program DySFV wich is a bit more graphical, and checks sfv files (but not md5 yet).
As far as portability goes, it is portable as it is, there are no settings, and the database for remembering hashed files is always located in the same dir.

I've set up a temporary development wiki on my site to work on until the PAF is finalised and I can start editing the development pages. These wiki pages will probably shape how the new development section ends up, so go wild. I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to copy over the contents of it later.

I signed up for a Sourceforge account on Sunday and still hadn't received an email on whether is was approved/disapproved/whatever by today (Thursday). Today I go to SF and check out my account as there maybe some little clue there. Guess what? I was approved back last Monday! Either they didn't send me a confirmation email or Gmail's spam filtering software got it.

Point of this post is...login to your SF acct and see if the project is approved or not as you might miss the email.

Good luck!
