Portable App Development

I belive this is the right place for this topic, if that's not the case please feel free to move it to the right place or notify me where should i place it, and i will do so.

Portable apps is a great tool for almost anybody, but has far has organization is concerned, it is not very intuitive.

i mean it has 300 or more applications, but (in my case i installed them all) when i try to search a specific apps, i get lost.

Hi there people. I downloaded an up to date copy of Xnview (portable) today.
An image viewer program. I put it on a flash drive. One of the settings I chose for it
was "do not delete to recycle bin" Of course now I am wondering where a deleted
xnview file will be placed (somewhere on flash drive). Maybe it just becomes free space?
If I could find the xnview setting I'm using, maybe I could specify a particular folder.

Hi

I am trying to set the documents folder in a launcher and am using %PortableApps.comDocuments%, the portable apps menu is a local install so the documents path is C:\users\UserName\Documents but the PortableApps.comDocuments variable returns C:\Documents which does not exist.

How is the variable derived?

Thanks

Would like to introduce a new portable app from Alcohol Soft.

Dont worry about the download it is 100% clean with zero additional software or ads.
Any ideas on how to improve it would be welcomed.

Hi

I know you can move files, and remove directories but is it possible to delete a file.

I have a piece of freeware that appears to be no longer supported and am making a launcher for my own personal use. The program list items as a directory tree and remembers it's state by the use of an xml file in it's root directory. I would like to delete this file so the directory tree is always closed (first use) I can do it manually without any adverse affects on the software and wondered if a launcher could delete the file either before or after launching the program?

I was just testing https://portableapps.com/node/38992 which moves the user folder to app folder on launch. For some reason, the Data\user directory is currently locked and can't be deleted/moved/renamed. The result was that an empty App\SciTE\user directory was created, then when the app ran, it put some default files in that directory.

Hi,
I am portabalizing a Java IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, which has 32-bit and 64-bit executable, but which require a 32-bit or 64-bit JDK to run them respectively (a cut down version is bundled with the program). So wanted to know if I should include both, or just limit it to one type to save space.

Hi,
I need to move a certain folder when the program is running on a 32-bit system and a different folder when on 64-bit system. Lets call them folder_32 & folder_64 respectively.

Hey I was wondering if you could add the ability for us to update Google Chrome Portable in app. When I try to do that it comes up with error message "Update failed (error: 1)"
