Portable App Development

Hello,

I would like to repackage the portable firefox, with some modifications I have made to it, back into the NSIS executable.
Is there someway that I could find the NSIS files (and all other needed files) so that I could use the existing files instead of recreating these files by myself?

Thank you,

What folder to create for each folder like Porgram Files folder ect. that in portable apps there is a Data folder in it theres profile folder to current user profile like i understanded. Is the data copyed from folders to specified locations? What other folders can i create to make files to be copyed to Windows or Program Files or Home Drive?

Will be there a script to make a portable app with license screen when you want to launch it? How to make a setup for portable app like the new VLC Player you launched? Im newbie for portable apps. Sorry if its a dum question.

I decided to add a couple features to the PortableAppsMenu because I wanted those features and they're very easy to implement and thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

added the ability to hide files and give them display names

to add a display name:
1. make a corresponding text file with a '.displayname' extentsion
-the filename itself is the .exe name plus the extentsion .displayname
-myprogram.exe's displayname is stored in the file myprogram.displayname

e.g. if I want to give a display name to myprogram.exe I just make a text file called

Hi, everyone!

Simon Tatham has announced the release of PuTTY 6.0 on the 29th of April.
Any chance we will be seing an "official" release of PuTTY Portable 0.60?

His announcement follows (only edit is e-mail addresses scrambling):

This is a minor patch release to 0.59; it contains only bug fixes,
and only very minor new features. New features include:

I've tried to find a way to set up FirefoxPE to use Sumatra and VLC as the default apps to use from a CD. I know that it's easy enough to do when running from a USB drive as the PortableApps launcher itself is supposed to take care of this, it even says so on the website for FirefoxPE. Anyone know of a way to do this without having the PA launcher around?

Hi, is it possible to segment the left side of the portable apps menu according to the different categories?
Such as a "Game" section for Sudoku, and a "Player" for different media player, and a "Tools" section?

Thanks for any reply.

Well, I know that there are some requests for features in Toucan, so I thought I'd group them all here so that I don't lose any. Oh and yes I know that 1.0 isn't out yet, I sent John an e-mail about that yesterday so hopefully that should get moving. Currently I have the following additions for 1.1:

1. A job manager
2. The ability to retain folder timestamps
3. An inbuilt updater

John,
I have a lot of fully legal software i use daily if i wanted to make them portable
say sas is that legal?

Steve,

Please may we have a checkbox on the Synch page to "Retain folder timestamps"
