Portable App Development

I am sure someone must have run into a similar problem before. I am putting Freemind (the beloved java mind map/tree structure organiser) on my PortableApps stick. Seeing how nice it is to work with the menu I am dead set on building a menu launcher with NSIS - after all I love the apps and the menu and I cringe every time I click through folders to launch my app. What happens is:

1) I put a copy of jawa into PortableApps\CommonFiles

I am planning on putting CDeX onto my thumb drive. Since CDeX is portable already (based on https://portableapps.com/node/1010) I'm entertaining the idea of compressing the exe to see if it would improve the performance while running from the thumb drive.

I was looking at different compression options and I stumbled across an open source compression tool call PackMan that is supposed to compress exe files. Since I've never heard of it before I was wondering if anybody else has used it and if it is any good.

I wish to make Process Explorer portable. So you know what I'm taking about, I'll give this description from Portable FreeWare

Process Explorer V11.0

" "

Cause I was planning to make an nice GUI to a suite of apps commonly used in the development of portable applications (Regshot,NSIS Portable,XN Resource Editor PE, NotePad++ Portable [recompiled w/o the TMed crap]) Also I was planning to make an AutoIT Edition (AutoIT replacing NSIS Portable, 4 those who prefer AutoIT).

Also would it be better to have both AutoIT and NSIS Portable included under 1 download and one installer but have an option wether to install one or the other or both.

Hi!
A PAM-Mod-Theme called 'Elk'.

It's for R29 and above.

I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous.

I know both Patrick and Ryan have offered help so I thought I would set up a separate forum topic for CDisplayEx.

What: "CDisplayEx is a Comic reader based on CDisplay. It use the popular 7-zip plugins to read many archives types like cbr cbz cbt rar zip tar 7z lzh arj cab tar.gz tar.bz2. It supports jpeg png gif and bmp images."
Where: CDisplayEx
Size: Just over 1Mb.
Registry: None.

I am trying to find a place to start in order to run applications I as portable. How can you check to see if a program meets the PortableApps requirements as far as files or registry entries being left behind on the host computer? (i.e. software that checks to see if settings on a computer has been changed, etc.) Where do you look to see if files or registry entries are created on a host computer? Is there any software that can help to make a regular application portable? Thanks in advanced for any information you have that can lead me in the right direction.

I was thinking that I'd try my hand at making an installer and was wondering what tools people use to monitor an installation of an app and its running to determine if any registry changes etc are made.

I have a lot of ideas that can improve PortableApps.com Srevices (that are already great, by the way).

Resuming, is to provide a PortableApps.com Package Manager and repositories; and to portabilize the apps that can't be made portable in a way that wont confuse the average user.

For starting: a PortableApps.com repository with a matching up PortableApps.com Package Manager.

I have tried to create my first portable app.

Used Reg Rapper to capture setting in an ini.

I tried to use Reg Shot to see if it works. Could not get Reg Shot to work.

Can someone check and see if it leaves registry settings?

I also need help on .paf
