Hey guys just learnd how to make my first PAF. big learning curve
but now I know! time to move on my next app involves adding
two .Reg key's all i know is

1. Put them in /Data/settings folder
2. edit /appinfo/Launcher/appname.ini
to say.
-------------------------------------
Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
What go's here ?
------------------------------------
the two .reg files i exported and put in /Data/settings/
are named
one.reg
two.reg

can some one give me some insight...i am a very visual learner.

I am developing a portable app and am wondering if it is possible to tell the launcher to run a .bat file when the program is closed. Basicly i have made a .bat file that moves the files created by the application (extensions) into the data folder for the application.

I am trying to create a portable app for a Open Source code editor called brackets. So far I think I have gotten everything working except the AppData part. The code editor supports extensions so when the program is launched for the first time it creates some folders in AppData below are the folders it creates

AppData/Brackets/

Due to usage of the NSIS Logic Library (implemented by the command
"!include LogicLib.nsh" in the *.nsi sript file) I often encountered constructs, which contain the 3 characters "$", "{" and "}".

Typical examples are:

• ${If}
• ${EndIf}
• ${FileExists}
• ${WordReplace}
• ${SetEnvironmentVariable}
• ${SegmentInit}
• ${SegmentPrePrimary}

But in which cases is it necessary to use these characters and why I can omit these characters in connection with the following instructions:

• CopyFiles

Hello,

Because a lot of viruses are affecting USB drives, I suggest a new feature: restore autorun file.

A simple feature will restore standard autorun like was when PortableApps was installed.

A complex feature will give possibility to save a custom autorun file and when a virus affect that file, you can restore autorun file.

What do you think about this?

Have a nice day,

Is it possible to put the main application launcher outside the AppNamePortable directory?

Many thanks in advance,

In the documentation with the subject "Making Java applications portable" I found in the section Build systems and command line arguments the following sentence:

The problem with bypassing AppName.exe and directly calling javaw.exe is that [Launch]:SingleAppInstance no longer works correctly and must be set to false.

For a better differentiation I call the local and portable instance of AppName.exe as follows:

looks like a very detailed program with some advanced features. UPDATE does not work. It takes me to the official website and wants me to install an .exe to update. Can someone fix this as this program is advanced for free and I would like to see it make it to the official portable apps platform. THANKS!
