Development Test 4 (2012-04-10)03:00 edt  ( I Googled it :) )
<ul>
<li>This is a total redo of Dev test 1</li>
<li><strong>Please, if you are using test 2 or test 3  uninstall all previous development tests before installing this development test.  If you are on dev 1 please do not uninstall as I would like to test the preserve directories in the custom installer.</strong></li>
<li> starting from scratch this dev now handles closing all processes that are running after the base app closes</li>
<li> Fixed issue in Dev and Dev 3 with program crashing and then leaving shortcuts in Programs folder</li>
<li> have written custom launcher code to close the processes which mean s please wait at least a minute before trying to remove usb device so all processes are closed</li>
<li> all user setting remain in the app dir moving them seems to be what was causing app to crash and write shortcuts in previous dev's</li>
<li> have created custom installer for now to preserve the settings directories in app dir on future updates until I can figure whether or not to write custom code to move them back and forth to data or to just leave them where they are</li>


Development Test 3 (2012-04-08)
<ul>
<s><li>Now supports saving of settings on updating as well as directoriesmove to place settings files in data for safe keeping (I hope)</li></s>
<s><li> slight mod of bat file to see if it fixes any of the previous issues?</li></s>
<s.<li> still having the running processes issue and trying to resolve that</li></s>
</ul>

Development Test 2 (2012-04-07)
<ul>Edited :<strong><li>  This may or may not cause issues, at first it ran smoothly, once I installed it on a usb drive it appears to crash but then run, then I discovered a new program entry in the programs  list for KDE.  Not sure if it has anything to do with the working directory I added or  not.  May NOT want to test ihis till I figure it out.  Up to you</strong></li>
<li> Fixed category  should now show up in Music & Video</li>
<li>  I apparently misread the system used by developer to number the application.  This  corrected, the version is 2.5.0 -1 (portable base app)  Although the installed version is 2.5.0 -2</li>
<li> added Java=find to launcher in case you use a Java script</li>
<li> added working directory to try to alleviate the issue that he  bat file appears to have with setting the xdg_data_hom  and xdg_home environmental variable</li>
<li> removed some unintended file I had included</li>
<li><strong>  This will completely over write the existing dev app including all settings</strong> as I am still trying to figure what file(s) all of the settings are held in.    But tehn again I warned you all this is in major development :) </li></ul>

Development Test 1 (2012-04-06): Initial release
 Basically I have taken the base apps portable version and dealt with the issues of it not truly being portable.   The program appears to function well but there are many features I am not familiar with or do not use so I need testers to test them and also Regshot them  for things like last.fm  and gpodder.net etc.

This release is intended for developers only as I know there  is still a lot I need to do to it, for instance it appears that the way it is made portable is via an extensive bat file, I am sure I can do that with PA launcher  coding, also at this time it launches from the bat file, I have the command line hidden, if you really feel a need to see the command  line box just comment out the hide command line in the launcher.ini

The more feed back the better

Edited: 2012-04-07 19:26 est/edt never can remember which is which
<strong> known issues discovered after posting and working on for dev 3</strong>
<ul>
<s><li> App is in wrong category</li></s>
<li> appears that after program closes there are still processes running in task manager</li>
<s><li> need to discover more about the script program portion for running additional script from the config menu, apparently uses Java so will need to activate it and work on it using Portable Java</li></s></ul>

Will post more here as I discover them  Remember this is a developmental test I am doing  best I can
