Portable App Development

Hello everybody,

I want to suggest a new option on Backup Utility. An option to exclude folders before compression. Because, sometimes I keep full movies on my flash drive and it would take minutes to compress video files that I don't even want to make a backup of.

Thanks!

Hi!

The subject already says it. I've created an online installer. Is it possible to extract the EULA from the downloaded ZIP and make the installer display it?

I think I would need some extract filter and maybe a rename or move?

Or is the EULA only displayed before downloading anything?

Ver 1.8.4 has been released ..

Thanks

As I'm not allowed to include the binary in my DbVisualizer Launcher, I thought about downloading the binary when the installer is started.

At the moment I have the code shown at the bottom.

Now just before the "Delete $2" I need to unzip the downloaded zip file to %PAL:AppDir%

As I did not understand NSIS yet, can anyone please give me a hint how to achieve this?

Hi!

I really like DbVisualizer and it's almost portable.

So I've created a Launcher using PortableApps' launcher and asked the dbvis guys whether I may post the launcher here.

I got permission to do so provided I do not include the actual code.

So I can only provide a launcher where one would have to unpack the official download to.

1) Do we already have examples for this?
2) Do you support this kind of launchers at all?
3) Maybe the installer could download the package?
4) How would I post my launcher for others to test?

I'm trying to make a portable Ruby that launches an editor and a cmd.exe window along with it. The launcher works in that it starts Ruby, but I cannot seem to make the environmental variables for "Path" stick, and I end up with an open and unused window (if I hide the window, I have to kill Ruby using the Task Manager). I'm trying to overcome these problems before adding the additional parts.

I'd like to create a launcher that only contains command line arguments.
For example: C:\Path\to\AutoHotkey.exe D:\Path\to\AutoHotkey.ahk

I probably have to make AutoHotkey a CommonPlugin and use it in the ProgrammExectuable right?

I'm trying to move all my PortableApps/${AppNamePortable}/Data directories under PortableApps/Data/${AppNamePortable} but am finding that more apps do NOT support the SettingsDirectory option that those that do.

Here is a summary of my installed apps. (All updated to latest stable version.)

YES | 7-Zip
NO  | AntRename
YES | Dia (creates PortableApps/DiaPortable/Data but uses SettingsDirectory)
YES | DiaShapes
NO  | Evince
YES | Firefox
NO  | FoxitReader
NO  | Geany
NO  | GIMP
NO  | Git
NO  | GnuCash
YES | GoogleChrome
NO  | gVim
