Portable App Development

Hi

I want to be able to run a portable packaged app (chrome) with a second icon (to sometimes launch with a command line switch).

running platform 16.0.1 on windows 8.1
latest chrome

the appinfo.ini file says:
[Format]
Type=PortableApps.comFormat
Version=3.5

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible, how does jPortable work with Firefox portable?

I would like to use a specific version of Java for an installed Firefox (not portable).

How Firefox portable map with jPortable ?

thank you,

Is there a portable app for Handbrake. I did a search in portable apps and download the tested version but gives me an error when I try to install it using the portableapp.com program. I have portableapp.com app on my SD Card along with other apps that I download from the portable apps website.

Will SUMo be updated soon?

Hasn't been updated for quite a while ...

Hi I have a problem with cleaning up after a portable program run. The situation is thus, I have several programs created by let's say Company which might be run at the same time creating a situation such as below:

HKCU\Software\Company\Program1
HKCU\Software\Company\Program2


as such I cannot use

[RegistryCleanUpForce] nor backup
1=HKCU\Software\Company

as this will delete the other program running.

Hi,

I would like to find out if it is possible to use Environmental Variables when setting up Registry Keys. Example:

[Environment]
RegLoc="HKCU\Software\Some Program"

[RegistryValueWrite]
"%RegLoc%\"=REG_SZ:""

With Seamonkey being in limbo, I know an official release is out of the question. But this guy is one of the Seamonkey devs and he is part of the community and is hosting some builds on his page. They aren't perfect, but if anyone wanted to experiment with an unofficial update, here's probably the best place to grab a copy to use. http://www.wg9s.com/ The links to the builds run along the top of his page. I have one copy on my desktop and I delete the contents of the seamonkey folder and drop in the contents of the newer version.

Retired after 50+ yrs as a computer consultant and getting back into online help/activity/programming etc.
Just discovered your site [took 3 days to stumble onto it]. Decided to get to know how to use and develope portable apps.
Will try Portable Virtual Box first. It needs a little help. Any notes, guidance, directions, or comments on how things work and
how I may assists would be welcomed. While I finish getting my Supercomputer up an running and setup to program I'll check back

Hi all,

We've released a new major version of our application - DB Browser for SQLite - which with the latest point release (3.11.2) should be suitable for PortableApps packaging.

Previously, when it needed packaging we've just pinged John directly via email, and within a day or two the PortableApp version would be ready.

This time though, email and Twitter contact isn't generating any response.

The current platform has host many outdated applications.. Is this of sole user-submitted/managed PApps's [app]'s responsability to update these, or does PApps.com's moderator have a say in which version should be reported as current or not?

I would suggest the PortableApps Update engine to provide an additional version detection+notification module. One that would check versions of installed apps against both the PApps.com plateform's version, AND that of the apps's original publisher-released version.
