LICENSE

=======
|
||
|
|
||
|
This package's installer and launcher are released under the GPL. The launcher
|
||
|
is the PortableApps.com Launcher, available with full source and documentation
|
||
|
from http://portableapps.com/development. We request that developers using the
|
||
|
PortableApps.com Launcher please leave this directory intact and unchanged.
|

|
USER CONFIGURATION
|
||
|
==================
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some configuration in the PortableApps.com Launcher can be overridden by the
|
||
|
user in an INI file next to 7-ZipPortable.exe called 7-ZipPortable.ini.
|
||
|
If you are happy with the default options, it is not necessary, though. There
|
||
|
is an example INI included with this package to get you started. To use it,
|
||
|
copy AppNamePortable.ini from this directory to 7-ZipPortable.ini next to
|
||
|
7-ZipPortable.exe. The options in the INI file are as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
AdditionalParameters=
|
||
|
DisableSplashScreen=false
|
||
|
RunLocally=false
|
||
|
|
||
|
(There is no need for an INI header in this file; if you have one, though, it
|
||
|
won't damage anything.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The AdditionalParameters entry allows you to pass additional command-line
|
||
|
parameters to the application.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The DisableSplashScreen entry allows you to run the launcher without the splash
|
||
|
screen showing up. The default is false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The RunLocally entry allows you to run the portable application from a read-
|
||
|
only medium. This is known as Live mode. It copies what it needs to to a
|
||
|
temporary directory on the host computer, runs the application, and then
|
||
|
deletes it afterwards, leaving nothing behind. This can be useful for running
|
||
|
the application from a CD or if you work on a computer that may have spyware or
|
||
|
viruses and you'd like to keep your device set to read-only. As a consequence
|
||
|
of this technique, any changes you make during the Live mode session aren't
|
||
|
saved back to your device. The default is false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There may be other values also permitted in the user configuration file by the
|
||
|
portable application; refer to help.html for any details of them.
