Portable App Development

Hi,

I know that your are working for the new association module. Thats why I will not write you to fix the PortableFileAssociator. But please fix them for the new module.

Windows 8 ask to user with which app the user wants to start(run) the file. This question is asking just for the FIRST time for each format (extension of file). Please make something to do not ask this question. Because each time I restart the PortableFileAssociator (and re-press the "Add file associations" button) windows 8 asks me this question for each file.

Would it be possible to set the default Chrome file save location via an ini file so that one could set it to %userprofile&\Desktop\Temp ?

Hey there, I am trying to make a version of foobar2000 for myself (not for release any time soon because I don't want to bother contacting the original developer, etc) but I'm trying to "futureproof" the installer by making it an online installer. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to download anything when I ask it to, and all I end up with is the empty shell of an App folder that I started with. Below is the full text of the installer.ini file because I see no other reason it shouldn't work. Thanks for anyone who can lend a hand.

Assuming a user performs some changes in the file AppNamePortable.ini. Furthermore should be this particular program installed in the PA.com menu.
To preserve the manual changes made ​​by the user in the settings during an automatic update of this program, it's necessary to note the following points:

Hi all,
i could not find an answer in this forum on my question.
I use several programms which already are stand-alone versions and want to add this to my portable apps menu?

For example, W:\server\usbwebserver.exe (on TrueCrypt encrypted USB stick).

Thanks in advance for any answer:)

Hello,

I want to make Zotero Standalone fully portable. However, on start-up Zotero creates a profile folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Zotero\Zotero with the following content:

|profiles.ini
|||Profiles/
|||||f450im62.default/
||||||||[...]
|||||||||zotero/

Zotero\Profiles\f450im62.default\zotero is the actual folder which Zotero uses. I would like to store this profile in Data\profile.

How can I tell Zotero to create its profile folder in Data\profile and use this one as default?

I'd like to distribute a web app that needs a java plugin on the browser,
so I have downloaded portableapps with ironportable and jportable.

Everything works fine but it seems that both ask for updates.

I've find the way (via command line switches) to force the browser to work only with our site so there isn't any need of update for security reasons.

I don't want that users update the java plugin.

At the moment I haven't find the way to avoid java plugin to search for updates.

Could someone help me ?

Many thanks and sorry for my English.

Let's say there's 5 individual components to a portable app that can be run separately. How would I create 5 individual launchers? Is it even possible with the official launcher generator?

I thought that if you defined each launcher you want in the launcher.ini file, and had all the appicons in place, the generator would create whatever you defined, but instead I only got one launcher.

I think I understand that PA.c apps are meant to be launchers for other embedded apps.

However, while writing my first PA.c app, I am also writing the app itself. I have no intention of releasing a non-PA.c version of the app, so there's really no point to me as a developer to have to embed a simple app with a launcher when I could just put the app as the launcher.

If someone really wanted to use the software without PA.c, I might just offer a .zip they could put wherever they like.

Is this allowed? Does it violate some underpinnings of PA.c that I'm not aware of?
