[Ennovy]

this is really a nice find spillej but the application is written in java

quote from http://www.portablefreeware.com/about.php

For EXE portability, my preference is not to list any Java or .NET app

So I don't think Andrew wil ad it to the database

Btw: welcome to this forum

If you already have JRE copied on your USB hard drive (I do, for portable use of Eclipse) you can run muCommander by running java.exe from \jre\bin with -jar mucommander.jar parametar. Make sure you set start directory to be directory of mucommander (Use Pstart or Executor).

That way you can use mucommander on any windows computer and don't care if java is installed on it. Later, when you encounter some linux distribution with java installed, you can use your familiar muCommander for file managing.

Pasos para tener Mucommander Portable:

1) Descargue Java JRE
JRE = Java RunTime Enviroment

http://java.com/

http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/getjava/Brow ... t=java.com


Da clic dentro de esa página en: "Todos los archivos de descarga de Java".
Luego Selecciona el que es para Windows(el siguiente link es para descargar Fuera de linea, es

decir lo puedo descargar en un cyber y me lo llevo a casa a instalarlo. El otro "En Linea es para

instalar teniendo internet en casa).

Aquí pongo la descarga directa (pongo lo de arriba por un caso algún día el link ya no sirve):

http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/ ... leId=29219

Al poner el link que está arriba te pregunta una ventana si queires guardarlo pon que si.


2) Instale Java en su PC (o alguna PC)

3) Descargar Mucommander para Windows desde:

www.mucommander.com

http://www.mucommander.com/download/muc ... -0_8_3.exe

(nota: descarta el *.exe NO el *.tar.gz)

4) Instale Java en su PC.

5) Vaya a:

C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre6\

Y copie Todo lo que hay allí (toda la estructura intacta)

En su Pendrive cree una carpeta llamada "Mucommander Portable" y pegue allí todo (Deben estar

allí una carpeta que se llama "bin" y otra "lib", en la carpeta "bin" hay un archivo que se

llama:"java.exe").


6) Vaya a:

C:\Archivos de programa\Mucommander

Copie todo lo que hay allí, y pongalo dentro de la carpeta "bin", supongamos que su Pendrive

tiene la letra "G:", sería así:

G:\Mucommander\bin

Allí dentro debe estár (si lo hizo bien) el archivo: "muCommander.exe"


7): Abra una consola del simbolo del sistema, pero antes vea esto:

Datos necesarios:

alt + 92 = \
cd.. (ENTER) = Significa que debes escribir "cd.." y aplastar la tecla "ENTER" (no escribirla)


PASOS A SEGUIR, vaya a:

Sigan los pasos [NOTA:las cosas que pongo en corchetes son para explicar, eso no aparece ni

I finally tested today using PortableApp's Java stuff and it looks like we have a way to run Java applications portably now.

Requirements:

• Java Portable - http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable (save to subfolder \CommonFiles\Java)
• Java Portable Launcher - http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/ ... e_launcher

Procedure:

1. Download the portable JAR file version of muCommander (http://www.mucommander.com/index.php#download)
2. Save both Java Portable and Java Portable Launcher to a folder. If it isn't already, make sure Java portable is under "\CommonFiles\Java" or the laucher won't recognize it
3. Start the Laucher program and open the muCommander.jar.

muCommander appears to work great. Settings are saved under JavaPortableLauncher\Data\AppData\.mucommander

The program appears to save some temp information to LocalSettings\Temp, but appears to be portable.

[bro]

You can use -p switch to tell muCommander where to save settings.

I use batch file to run muCommander.jar portably without "Java Portable Launcher".

Code: Select all

@echo off
start %~dp0\..\CommonFiles\Java\bin\javaw.exe -jar %~dp0\mucommander.jar -p %~dp0\.mucommander

Very cool. Thanks!

This is our first Java program, so the instructions might be a little long, but I was trying to be thorough.

bro: I used your batch file text in the entry, but I had to add some ""s to make it work on my XP system.

[webfork]

muCommander extract instructions:

1. Download the portable TAR.GZ package and extract to a folder named muCommander. You may need to extract the .GZ and the .TAR file separately, depending on your extraction program.
2. Download and extract jPortable CommonFiles\Java directory in the same folder you put the muCommander folder. (For example.: g:\portable\muCommander with g:\portable\CommonFiles\Java)
3. Create a text file and paste the green text below:
   

   Code: Select all

   @echo off
   @start "" "%~dp0\..\CommonFiles\Java\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%~dp0mucommander.jar" -p "%~dp0.mucommander"

4. Save to the muCommander folder as startmucommander.bat
5. Launch startmucommander.bat

It's an old news, but muCommander supports portable file associations, which is a great feature.

Very cool -- good to know. I guess that addresses this issue.
