Portable App Development

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?

Hi, What happnes if you try to make MS office portable?? I mean just launch it automatically.

I have released Portable Psi with the help of Deuce!! Psi is an excellent Jabber client.

I'm having a problem getting my application to load. This is most likely my lack of understanding of how the "chrome://" works. I have set up a simple XUL file to act as my application. It is the find file example from the XUL tutorial. Below is the directory structure I'm using:

F:\PortableApps\XULApps
\XULRunner
\CARS (My App)
Start.BAT (used for starting the application)
Application.ini
\Chrome
chrome.manifest (which is empty)
\CARS
Appstart.xul (the application)
\defaults
\preferences
prefs.js (which has the following line (pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI", "chrome://chrome/cars/AppStart.xul");)

Description A launcher, based on a bit of John's code and mostly mine, to launch any program, provided you need command lines. I made this so everyone doesn't have to make a new launcher for every program. Also includes Reg Rapper 1.0

I know we already have Portable Firefox, so my idea may seem stupid, but hear me out. One of the features I saw requested for PFF was native support for multiple profiles. So, I'm thinking of answering that request by writing a brand-new launcher that allows the user to select a profile on startup. As many profiles as necessarily can be created, and they'd be stored as subdirectories of the PFF profiles directory (or whatever my equivalent was).

I'll probably make this one way or the other, but I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in it. It would be completely open-source, just like John's launcher.
