I am making a program to hide (and later show) the contents of the folder from which it is run. (This is not the same as Windows hide.)
However, due to space constraints, my application will need to write this data (the contents of the folder) to a temporary folder. It will be deleted from there as soon as the hiding part is done. A similar approach will be applied to showing back the data.
Will this affect the program's ability to be included in the collection?
Thanks for your help.

Re: I'm making an app and I need some help
It' s not my duty to judge but I think a portable application is allowed to make system changes as its main task (output). The application itself though should not litter the system with its own settings. So in this point of view I would say your program could be portable.
Re: I'm making an app and I need some help
No, you could even write this data to %TEMP% and it would still be classed as Portable.
Re: I'm making an app and I need some help
Well I shelved that one. It seemed too easy to break.
I have another question, I have made an alarm clock which has a very tiny footprint and supports command line. However, I don't have a website of my own and hence cannot release it like that.
It has a dependency of bass.dll (included in the program) and therefore cannot be reused commercially, that is, its license is restricted.
So how do I release it? Perhaps the forum has a way?
Thanks.

I recommend that you create a website for it. There are free hosting services such as Weebly.Rejjy13 wrote: I have another question, I have made an alarm clock which has a very tiny footprint and supports command line. However, I don't have a website of my own and hence cannot release it like that.

Github or Sourceforge?

Wow. Thanks for the quick reply.
@trpoli
Github seemed too much work, and sourceforge only accepts open source software. But the license of this one is restricted due to bass.dll
@SYSTEM
Can I use blogs (eg. Tumblr?)
