Freemind Portable

Submitted by sbabinea on May 8, 2007 - 11:21pm

Using my generic PortableApp Launcher (https://portableapps.com/node/6924) I configured a Freemind
setup, available here: http://thebabineaus.com/software/FreemindPortable/FreemindPortable.rar

I rolled the Freemind version back to the stock version 0.9 beta9 downloadable from the website to
demonstrate the new and improved launcher Wink The more people test the latest version the faster we
get to version 1.0!

If your java.exe isn't in PortableApps\jre\bin, then you will have to modify the ini file, replacing

PAM Backup thoughts

I just had an idea:
If I did a backup this morning and I do one in the evening, too, then it prompts you whether you want to overwrite the old one or not. If I say NO it aborts.
Why not making a prompt to change the name instead of just aborting the process?

I don't know whether this has been mentioned/requested before but I just wanted to mention it.

Could someone who has done this please tell me every last detail about the coding, syntax, and packing, I have programs such as Apophysis that I would like to have on my portable apps (which I use multiple times daily) because of my fracal art that I also do on a daily basis.

"Package management" (i.e., APT-like) system for Portable Apps

Submitted by paladin225 on May 7, 2007 - 1:48pm

Please see this thread for information about the Application Manager Portable project. This posting is no longer relevant.

Hello all,

A friend just told me about the Portable Apps Suite, so I downloaded it and gave it a try. It's an interesting system, but I'd like to suggest the addition of a "package management" system such as Debian's APT to facilitate application installs, removals, and upgrades.

Limiting to 1 PortableApps.exe only.

Submitted by Passerby007 on May 7, 2007 - 3:43am

Hi there. Just want to enquiry something.
Is it possible to limit the number of times of Portable Apps.exe?

Example is that each time I click on the PortableAppsMenu.exe, it will jus keep on launching and launching in the system tray icon.
Thus if I accidentally click it 10times, there will be 10 tray icons there. And 10 applications of POrtableAppsMenu running in the Task Manager.

Is there a way to limit the number of the Portable APps menu to just once?

Regards,

Autorun when Flash Drive Plugged in

Submitted by moark on May 6, 2007 - 2:25pm

Thanks for Portableapps. I am totally new to using apps on a usb flash drive so forgive some dumb questions. I am installing my program I wrote on a flash drive. It works great but I would like to have it load automatically when plugged in or even on the portableapp menu.

A search of Google indicates that autorun will only work on CD's and not USB Drives.

Any ideas greatly appreciated. I finally was able to remove U3, Portableapps is much better.
