0.9.6.9 Dev Test 1 (2009-10-15): Initial release Install Instructions: (also in 'help.html'). foobar2000.
Run the installer. Agree to the license. Select 'Portable installation'. Browse to 'foobar2000Portable App'. Select install type. Un-tick 'Run foobar2000' and finish.
Run foobar2000 Portable. Notes: Not tested with any. Tested with: XP Home SP3 (Admin). I just had a quick look over on the forums. As far as I can see, there are a couple of vb scripts that are being used to automate changing the drive letter to the one that foobar2000 expects to see and then back again on the way out. All very clever but I'm not sure that it would be wise to try and incorporate anything like that into the launcher.
Surely there would be issues with other apps running off the same drive at the same time (if I'm understanding correctly). Thanks for the info though, all good stuff! Interestingly, it seems there are rumours that relative path support is coming in the next major release so perhaps it would be better to wait and see what happens. I hope the launcher is still useful for you though. You can use the built-in subst command to mount a specific directory into a drive letter (supports relative paths as well).
The syntax is the following: subst m:. Docs music The command above will mount the directory to the drive letter m. To remove a substitution, use the following command: subst m: /d With the 'nsExec' plugin (or with the simple exec command), it's quite easy to built in such support into the launcher (using the.ini file for the parameters as the drive and the directory). I think it's a bit more elegant solution instead of hacking the playlist/library files. (I'm using a TrueCrypt volume, so the drive letter changing does not effect me at all.).
See release notes for changes. Notes: If you want to fiddle test - The six FileWrite sections (disabled) are for the files I could get a drive/path to appear in (there may be more). I would have liked to have moved the 'themes' folder in and out of the app dir but, as it's present on install, it just gets backed up instead. Perhaps this behaviour should be overridden if the destination is the app's dir? Or is there a PAL trick I'm missing? Uncomment in the INI to test.

'First-run only' code would have done it but is this still not implemented? Also, presuming drive/path switching was working, it might have been nice to run through the playlists dir with a FindFirst type thing on the FPL files.
Can PAL do that or is it a custom code job? See (G)ZDoom Portable if you want an example (although the game is not for the faint of heart!).and have to say it's a nice app, especially for the size of it. The playlists can be just updated with the wildcard support: Type=Replace File=%PAL:DataDir% settings playlists.fpl Find=%PAL:LastDrive% Replace=%PAL:Drive% But it does not seem to be possible to update whole paths, probably due to the binary type of all the settings files.
Especially the.cfg files (or at least Core.cfg) are pretty hard. It seems to have some file protection build into it. Looking at, it seems to be an md5-hash fileguard. Making some how use of this SDK is probably your(our) only chance for the.cfg files. Same probably goes for setting any first-run settings, the binary format of the settings files do not seem to allow much modification (or any for the.cfg files).
Thanks for looking. I don't think I'll be delving into the SDK, your word is good enough for me! I'll change the drive letter in the playlists folder, shame about the paths though. I only wanted first-run to move the themes folder into Data (as I said). Otherwise we get 'App foobar2000 themes.BackupByfoobar2000Portable'.
I think somebody was having a similar problem with Opera lately? Lack of custom code on first-run still seems to me like an omission of major functionality in PAL but I'm obviously on my own with that one, ha-ha. Thanks for the nice solution though. Couple of things, there is the nice updater of the portable apps application, that will not make sense to have if you need to copy the new version manually somewhere into directories, would just be different to all other applications in of portableapps.com, 2nd if you have to check the foobar2000 website, download the program, and copy manually stuff, why then not use the 'portable' option of the foobar2000 installer instead of bother with the additional PAF installation at all? Just some thoughts. Maybe I miss something.
It looks like it'll overwrite the following components. Album List Panel, Columns UI and libpng-libraries. Biography View Panel, Channel Spectrum Panel, ELPlaylist, EsPlaylist and Panel Stack.
Splitter. Lyric Show Panel 3. Peakmeter Spectrum component. Playback Statistics. Quick Search Toolbar.
Waveform seekbar. WSH Panel mod You could manually install it. The.exe can be opened by 7Zip, then you'll see the configs, themes, and user-components. There's also the libpng13.dll.
All this exe is doing is running START.BAT @echo off title DarkOne v4.0 installation. If not exist userprofilesenabled goto end xcopy /E /I /Y user-components '%appdata% foobar2000 user-components' xcopy /E /Y configuration '%appdata% foobar2000 configuration' rd /S /Q user-components rd /S /Q configuration:end start. Themes DarkOnev4.0 Manualv4.0.pdf /B del START.BAT /Q Fairly straightforward manual install. OK, interesting. I understand that portables is installed in its own folder.
In the present non-portable set up, under preferences-display I have both the DUI and CUI. If I install the skin in the current non portable version, won't I be able to go in there and just switch back to DUI and then the changes will disappear? Or is it so that if there's a risk some settings, unrelated to display, are changed with the new skin, and by creating a portable version I'll be guaranteed no my old set up will be unmodified?
That is, it minimizes any risk for unwanted changes?.
