Or if you'd like we could just use this thread to answer the questions and you can create the Q&A doc from this?
Yeah, thats what i planned on doing,
seemed an easyer way and if i misunderstood something or someone thought something should be added, they can say it here instead of waiting between updates,
later after we get started alittle ill make an actually Q&A thread, with a link to it in the one ill have in the Doc.s,
Anyways,
on with it!
we'll get what we have so far,
(and redllar can correct me as i go, ...minus the questions ill leave to him,
)
Ok, first the first one that i wanted to cover, seems to be a null point for now, but:
Why should i use the 'Updates are written immediately' button?
(And 'What does 'Keep portable registry in memory' do?)
Due to current JPE operation, this button should always be checked.
The idea behind this button is to give an option between Portable and HardDrive programs that are created through the wizard.
When making a portable program for use on a USB key, leaving the button unchecked (and keeping the 'Keep portable registry in memory' button selected.) would have kept the .reg file in RAM all the time, preventing writes to the USB stick every time the file is changed, and thus increasing the USB stick's 'life time'.
Checking the button would have made a write to the file every time it was changed by the program, like a normal settings file. This would be for the use of programs you planned to leave on your HardDrive.
(Hmm, ok,
one question i could reasonably and hopefully, correctly, answer,
ill try again,
)
Why does the '<program>_portable.exe' have to be kept in the same folder as the original .exe file?
The '<program>_portable.exe' is basically (as far as i know,) just a .dll injector and not the actually program itself. It needs to be in the same folder to do a controlled run of the original program, injecting the jauntePE.dll and madCHook.dll into the program in order to hook into it to provide the actual file and registry redirection.
(...uhh, yeah, that sounds about right,
)
ok, i think ill leave the 'exclusions' bit and crownixx's questions to redllar,
due to that it seems:
A) my info on modules is out of date with the newest version of JPE,
B) crownixx's second question deals with exclusions which could be better explained there.
And C) i honestly dont know enough about the registry to say Why they are different, other then it probably has to do with access that regedit needs to run, or something like that,
so, yeah, thats it from me till we get some new ones or something,
