Portable App Development

Hey

What would you guys think of the possibility to change the splashscreen?
So you can't only change the theme or the language of your favorite browser,
but also the splashscreen. And maybe there could come a section with the best
splashscreens, maybe a competition.

sorry for my bad English.

nm35 and rmccue have released Instant FileZilla, the first in a coming line of Instant programs. This program is one EXE file that extracts FileZilla to the temp directory and then runs it. It then deletes the files upon closure of the program.

I've noticed this: some programs that apear to work portably, actually leave behind files in: C:\Documents and Settings\*User Directory*\Application Data (it's a hidden file) and in other places. When developing apps, it would probably be best to make sure your application doesn't do that.

Programs that do this:
uTorrent
Inkscape
Notepad++
USBOpera (I think so, but then again, since the physical folder is called "Opera" perhaps only the install version of Opera does this.)

Thankfully it only does this to the folder of the user you are logged in as.

Hi

We have released a new Portable App, Yadabyte Passwords.

This is a very simple, very secure (AES 256) password store that is free and open source.

It can be downloaded from:

All comments greatly appreciated:)

Best wishes,

I'm new to using Portable Apps.
I just bought a 1GB USB stick last week!

But I use Thunderbird 1.5 and the version of Portable Thunderbird is 1.07

Doesn't 1.07 have security bugs in it?

Is there a 1.5 version due out soon?

I've just finished working on a portable Scribus. Modified from a portable scribus here: http://www.winpenpack.com/ (modifed for smaller size, added GS fonts, etc.)

I posted about it here:

I've gotten Photoshop to work when using UPX, but it always messes up ImageReady, and then ImageReady won't launch, do you know what I'm doing wrong?

If you make a non-open source application, auto-launchable, are you violating the copy right law?
