I would like to try 3 things.
1. I would like to ask JauntePE adepts to develop a launcher in that fashion if possible.
And a shot in the dark but ...
2. I would like to ask anyone interested in having this as a native green portable app to contact the developer and ask for the change to a non registry dependent version. His email for this application is metapad-feedback@liquidninja.com
Yet another shot in the dark but in case someone who is interested reads this forum.
3. I would ask anyone who could to develop a registry free version if possible, please see the quote below.
I believe this and the big note saying it is now with open source might make such development efforts legal.March 20, 2009: The metapad has turned 10 years old today! To celebrate, I've finally released the source code. I've also written a new post about metapad on my personal blog.
I hope this does not bug anyone.
