Hello folks,
i am new to this forum and although i don't actively participate in the discussion on making portable application, since i lack the knowledge and know how or the craft of making one.
But i do visit it actively and download some tools, to my liking.

However now i realize how important it really can be after looking and observing many things.

So i have a application in mind, which i want to have it made portable. They are:

Execwait problem when calling launcher within launcher

Submitted by concept303 on March 3, 2015 - 6:05pm

Hello all,

I have recently started with PAF development and quickly stumbled upon this problem after my first 10 or so portables.
Please note that I do not use the launcher and ini files, I write straight NSI scripts.

The problem happens with a game which has 2 exes A and B. A acts as a launcher that launches B and then exits. The game does not allow you to start immediately from B. If you try, you get an error message indicating that you should start the game by double clicking A.exe.

I guess you can see the problem.

[Portable Apps Options] Need option to delete Portable App "Data section(s)".

Of each or all "Data section".

P.S = i still wait for that option. Please add that soon, ...

Did it have an alternate way to do that, until portableapps.com interface will do that ?

Google Chrome Portable

Submitted by salclem2 on February 21, 2015 - 1:20pm

Hello,

I want to make Google Chrome really Portable (there is a known issue) by adding the moving files action in the launcher INI, i.e.

[DirectoriesMove]
profile="%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"

but if the copying process is very long, is there a way to inform the users with a wait message?

Thanks

Keepass 2.28

Hello all,
Sorry if this has been discussed before. I am presently using Keepass 2.21 that I had downloaded earlier from http://keepass.info/download.html or more specifically, from here: http://www.professioneinformatica.eu/Products/PortableApplications/tabid...

Keepass has since upgraded to 2.28 but the packager hasn't updated to this version still. I am using this on Win7 and Win8, therefore I was not aware of the default .NET requirement that XP doesn't fulfill in this case.

Important information:
As of the time of Apr 14, 2022, 12:06 AM GMT+10, the Github repository has been archived and I am officially discontinuing this portable app. It may still work as is, but there will never be an update. If it returns under a different user with suspicious "updates", do NOT download/install.

To whoever it is that owns the UGOTTROLLED github account:
Sick troll mate, you targeted something that was slated for deletion. The other repositories that you have (along with the account name itself) make it obvious your intentions, any pull requests would of been rejected. I have enough programmer knowledge to ascertain whether any coding was potentially suspicious, anything that I would need a debugger/decompiler to read the source for would also have been rejected.

Application: Minecraft
Category: Games
Licence: Closed Source [See license page of installer]
Description: [from website]
Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.
