Making Total Commander more portable

Submitted by zay on July 6, 2007 - 1:30am

Hi,

I just wanted to share some progress with everybody with making my personal web development tools work on USB and with the portableApps startup. I haven't been using it for long yet, and this is my first post on this forum... so please bare with me Smile

Now, my web development setup is quite simple... I use Total Commander (shareware, ghisler.com) and vim. (vim.org)

Now you can just drag and drop the vim/vim70 (in my case, since I use 7.0) folder into your portable apps dir. You do not need the vimfiles dir for vim to work. (unless you heavily modded it, ofcourse :))

does starting two portable apps together work?

Submitted by sgp on June 30, 2007 - 2:43am

Does starting two portable apps together work? What I mean is that when I start two different postable apps nearly at the same time, I have intermittent problems, for instance one app shows its configuration menu as if it wasn't able to read its saved registry settings. I can't always reproduce this, but it happens fairly often. I was wondering if it's got something to do with the registry being temporarily locked or something like that. I tried to sequence the apps so that they don't overlap, but I still get the same problem, less frequently. Any ideas? TIA

Attach any file ....

Like in subject, attach any file to the new events or new tasks in SunBird that will be automatically collected in SunBird sub folders... maybe some small add-ons

When it will be possible ?

Regards
Daniel

I have the games, I need launchers

Submitted by Cubex DE on June 25, 2007 - 5:55pm

Hi, I'm a new PA developer. I have several games that I have made that I would like to make into portable apps. The only problem is that I don't know how to make the launcher. If possible could someone either step me through it or make it for me? The games leave no traces on the host computer. They don't use INI files or the registry. Please let me know.

My games can be found here: http://cubexde.net.tf/games

I've Tried JauntePE And It Makes An App Portable Ok But Is There Any Other Application That Will Make An App Portable And Will Open The Application Quick

(Cause i Have To Wait Like 5 Minutes For Firefox To Open With JauntePE Support) Sad
I Use PortableApps.com's Firefox And I Made The original Firefox Portable Wih JauntePE

So Can Anyone Find An App That Will Open An App Quick And Will Make A Non-Portable App Portable?
