Portable App Development

Thought these might prove useful to you.

The first, upax.bat UPXs everything within the current directory (and subdirectories) with the standard options used by John. You need to put both this and upx.exe in your path somewhere, like C:\WINDOWS\system32
The second, pangout.bat uses pngout to compress all .png files within the current directory (and subdirectories) and automatically answers yes to any questions.
The final, cleanup.bat is a companion for upax.bat and deletes all the backup files (.ex~, .dl~).

i was wondering if anyone was planing on making the portable apps menu customizable.

like color change and whatnot

thanks for reading

I am in need of some icons for various file types like images, videos, folders, etc. Where would some good ones be? I need them for a program I am almost done with (file manager).

I'm a application developer/ programmer. I'm always wanting to learn more about programming and stuffalong those lones. I find portable apps really interesting.

I was wondering where can i start, like tutorials or anyhing on where to start from scratch on dveloping my on portable app?

Thanks in advanced,sorry if this was answered in other forums, I'm still trying to find my way navigating here.

I'm new to the portableapps scene and I'm currently working on a portableapps version of Reach-a-Mail It's a lightweight portable email client if people are interested ill release it here.

At factory.lego.com you can download program to work with Legos to make custom creations, which eventually you can buy just those blocks to make. I've downloaded the program and can run it from my usb key, but it always makes a folder in "My Documents" as the default place to save your models. I manually go to the folders on my usb key to save it.

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried to make this a portable app.

I have a program that I want to make portable. It's a game, and I know that it ahs at least 2 registry keys. I don't know enough about NSIS to make it myself, and I was just wondering if I could find someone who would be willing to process the files for me. Help would be appreciated.

I have just started learning NSIS yesterday .
What I want to do is make a launcher for Azureus to
replace the original "Azureus.exe" because it is made with a
non-open source tool (exe4j) .
I can launch Azureus with the launcher I made as long as
I don't try to pass any command line options to it but I want the launcher
to define where the settings and default install-dir are located .
here's what the script looks like so far :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name "Azureus"
Caption "Azureus"
Icon "Azureus.ico"
OutFile "Azureus.exe"

Can someone please help make me a launcher?

I want to have autoruns show up in my PAM. I know there are other menu's out there that do not require a launcher or exe to show up on the menu, but I am sticking with John's for the time being.

I think the problem is the program is actually a viewer and not an .exe

Since gaim has been renamed to pidgin and upgraded version for a long time, I couldn't endure any longer, so I modified GaimPortable by myself.

First, change all the path and file names including "gaim" to "pidgin", open the source file "PidginPortable.nsi" and do the same change. Note that the names in the source file are case sensive. Pidgin uses a new environment variable named "PURPLEHOME" instead of the old one named "GAIMHOME", so the replacement should also be made in the source file "PidginPortable.nsi".
