Discuss portable app development and modification of existing apps.
With the release of the portableapps.sitesunblocked.org Launcher version 2.1, the $Bits variable is set by PAL itself.
As such, setting this variable in Custom.nsh can be removed for the following applications, see applicable edits to the Custom.nsh files here:
This has been officially released on the Development Page
I'm testing a new style of portableapps.sitesunblocked.org Application Template for use with the portableapps.sitesunblocked.org Launcher and Installer. The old 2.4 release was just the barebones file structure but includes no example config files. This is of a complete template with config files and a default launcher along with a stub EXE so you can be sure it works by default.
Introduction:Often, somebody will make a post asking for help. I wrote up a guide real quick for this poster, Portable App Development Forum. So, without much more text, I loose the gorilla. . .
If you've created an app that is currently posted as a Development Test and the following apply:
The portable app development forum is for all development discussion related to portable apps. Feel free to ask questions on adapting the standard PortableApps NSIS-based launchers used with Portable Firefox, etc with other apps. Or with help working on any portable development project you wish. You'll find more portable apps developers here than anywhere else, so, for most questions, either someone will know outright or at least be able to point you in the right direction.
can a locally stored updates history be implemented with the following features?
A. it just only has to show the name of the PAF and the date + timestamp when it was installed or updated with latest being on the top
B. use symbols + ^ - for new installation, update and uninstallation at the beginning of each entry
C. Keep only the latest 30-50 entries
D. make it accessible from the Help menu in the interface with read only status and a copy button
if one were to hypothetically make Adobe PDF Reader portable on one's own computer (and one shouldn't do it because it would be against their TOS),
what steps would one hypothetically take?
(it's unfortunate how they do stealth updates on their installed app, and periodically change their UI. i'd rather spend my brain using the thing than spend it on keeping track of the UI changes.)

Hello guys. I am new to PortableApps, a colleague introduced me.
We are using some Apps for work with this platform and that mentioned colleague started portabilising those apps many years before.
Now I looked a bit further into an App, because I noted that this App wasn't actually portable.
He added an batch script to install some dependencies, but that only works if you delete a text file again. As a looked into those dependencies that come with the App I also noted there were scripts by the developer to install/uninstall those dependencies using "gacutil.exe".
