Portable App Development 3m2d40

@ John T. Haller
Please don't remove INI . No offense, but I can't stand your directory layout ("App"... igh. I hate abbreviations), so I've created my own. If you take out the INI , I'll have to revert to the standard layout. *shudder* I may actually stop updating the launchers if it meant I'd lose INI .

Another problem with the standard layout is that it puts each of the launchers in a separate directory. You can't really combine various App/Data directories into single folders or you'd probably end up with file/folder name conflicts. I like having all my launchers in a single directory for easy access, which the INIs allow me to do.

I wrote a simple command line compiler for C#. It and the resulting program require .NET, but it's useful if the computer has it.

Hi guys,

Great site, great software.

I don't know if its been published before, but I was looking for a "Web Development" Suite of Portable Apps ... so I could work on things away from home.

I cobbled together a few of my favourites, and loaded up portable Firefox with my favourite web development extensions as well.

If you're interested in a copy, you can pick up a copy ---.

Ok I played around a little with RegRapper It is a nice little helper app.

The one alternative that I found that works great but requires rights on the machine is http://sanboxie.com

Is there any other options for the same type function but in any other reg helpers?

I have found a way to use any standalone dock launcher (such as RKLauncher http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/ or y'z dock http://www.majorgeeks.com/.php?det=2790 ) but it is tedious.

In case you dont know what a dock launcher is, It's basically a program launcher that looks like the macOS launcher. It's a clean and efficient way to launch programs, and in my eyes, is a better alternative to the portable launching apps avaliable. The problems is that although RKLauncher and y'z dock are standalone applications, they have trouble using relative paths for shortcuts, rendering them useless as a portable app.

Help im trying to make portable universal extractor im have succesfully compiled it using Quick Port Template 1.1 which works but im trying to add some new code so it will also move the c:\uniextract.txt file it creates to portable uniextract's folder and then delete it from C:\. any ideas on making nsis reconizing the root of the C: hard drive

Hy.

I've got a litle problem, i'm using TrueCrypt to create a virtual drive that contains all the programs.
In order to have a longer lifespan of my already old USB pen, i've made a script that copies the virtual image to %temp% on the local computer, mounts it and starts PStart from that. When i close PStart, all info is saved, the image is unmounted and the image is copied back on the USB pen. (this way, the USB is accessed only 2 times/session, not a few hundred/thousands times when some programs write data to disk).

Now for the question.
For some reason, TrueCrypt (and a few other programs) don't like having the virtual image as "compressed" (you know, the "Compress" flag for NTFS files), so is there a way (a program, script or command) that can copy a file and uncheck that flag ? (so the file remains uncompressed, even if the %temp% folder is compressed). I can make that manually, but it's a pain in the ass to do that each and every time. I can also set the "%temp%" folder to be uncompressed on the computer i'm working on, but just in case i go to another computer, the "%temp%" folder might still be compressed.

Hi,

I have just developed a portable version of Winamp 5.24, but due to the licensing I obviously can't distribute this. So - I would like to attempt to make a program that will build PortableWinamp from an existing installation, but I'm not sure exactly how much I'm allowed to package with this - I would like include the winamp icon, and several winamp-generated .ini config files with the 'builder'. Does anyone know more about this? [edit: email offer removed]. Cheers.

When will either a beta or final version of Liberta LaunchPad be released as I am dieing to check it out?

Also since PStart I think is a very common LaunchPad that a lot of people use (I know I do) are there any plans to be able to Import the Pstart.xml Settings file into Liberta LaunchPad at all? Since I have almost 200 or so misc apps and what not on my current 4GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro and about 150 or so on my 2GB SanDisk cruzer Micro (Skinned)

Regards,

MrChris

Is there a way to encrypt before distribute the application with portable device, in order to prevent the copy of the distributed software? I need some help. Please email me: [email protected]
