Portable App Development

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!

hi all.
I'm somehow new to this PA and NSIS world and sadly my English isn't so good to searching and questioning well . hope you understand my question correctly

----->>question :
I want to have a "conditional section" in my PortableApp launcher .

3 sections required :
--section a (that's my question)
--section b (integrating avisynth or whatever apps to localsystem)
--section c (integrate and run main program that "needs" avisynth (or whatever apps)integrated to the local system first)

(that's my question again)

Hi,
Today I encounter some issue when making a portable application.
There is a path storing in registry, and I use ConfigWrite to modify the path.
However, the registry imported is only the old one. The path is changed, but only changed in the file, instead of the real registry. When I close the application, the old registry values are exported to the registry file. Then the entire ConfigWrite doesn't work.
How can I write data first, and after that, import registry?
Here is the launcher.ini I used:

[Launch]
AppName=JPEGsnoopPortable
ProgramExecutable=JPEGsnoop\JPEGsnoop.exe

Hi,

I read PortableApps.com Launcher Manual, and I see launcher.ini that has section [ServiceN], but it said: "Services are currently disabled in the PortableApps.com Launcher." So Can I restore Services in PortableApps.com Launcher? What do I should with apps have services?

Anyone can help me! Thank you very much!
