Portableapps menu

Submitted by LucyFan on April 15, 2013 - 4:49am

Is it possible to get the portable apps menu to collapse categories when it loses focus so when I "open" it all of the categories are collapsed, this appears to be the default position when it first opens but then it remembers which category I last expanded and keeps it expanded.

Thanks for your help

Game Maker 8.1 Portable

Submitted by derington on April 12, 2013 - 12:25pm

Hi Folks,

I've made quite a bit of progress towards a working Game Maker 8.1 PortableApp, however, have one issue:

Game Maker appears to store the license under %APPDIR%/Local/GameMaker8.1. Ideally, I'd like for this to be stored on the USB Key but it is ok for PortableApps to push the directory and key temporarily and remove them.

I've tried several methods, but expert advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

Trillian 5.3 Portable

Submitted by bluegrass501 on April 11, 2013 - 9:34am

I have finished creating a portable version of Trillian 5.3 that works.
It does have some rough edges though, and I could use some advice from the
pros on here that actually have a clue what they are doing (because I do not).
The obstacle I have is that on a Windows 7 system, a Trillian installation puts stuff in:
\Users\\AppData\Roaming.
I need to know how to force the launcher to create that structure under the Data area (TrillianPortable\Data) on the portable app host.

Google Chrome 26 Loses theme when drive letter changes

Submitted by Joshwiker14 on April 9, 2013 - 10:30pm

Hi. I'm having this problem where the theme doesn't load properly and reverts to default when the drive letter changes, but all the other settings are changed properly as the drive letter changes.

First I tried re-installing the theme, but the chrome-webstore thought it was already installed. So I reset the theme to default from settings, and restarted chrome(It didn't seem to do anything otherwise), and re-installed the theme with no problem, but It didn't fix the problem.

  • I tried re-installing chrome. Didn't work.

Using the same (defaultdata) registry key everytime the portable app runs.

Submitted by gbrao on March 21, 2013 - 10:32am

How can I make a portable app use the same reg key every time it runs. That is, any changes made to the key by the app itself should be discarded when the app is closed.

I cannot use [FileWriteN] because the value in the key is very long. And, the app writes random values to the key so I do not know what to "Find".

The other option would be to first delete the saved reg files in Data\settings every time the app runs, I'm assuming the reg files in Defaultdata will be used then. Is it possible to delete files in Data\settings ?
