I was gonna put one of these together myself, I swear. ;P Thanks.

I'm just waiting for a new dev build. I've been thinking... we probably shouldn't do dev builds on the front page since they come out so frequently. Anyone interested in those can download my personally compiled builds. Smiling

There are a couple reports of registry entries left behind in some circumstances in the forums. Let's worry about addressing those first.

And on the beta, I only needed to change 3 lines in INI files to update it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Hmm I didn't see anything

Hmm I didn't see anything like that, I'll check it out.

And yes, I am happy how easy your PA installer makes it to update my personal builds of the GCP installer. Laughing out loud

Dev build

Sure, I'd be happy to try out the latest dev build as I understand these are the only ones with extensions enabled at the moment.

I'd like to try out http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/lastpass-password...

found that, thank you

pepcok - November 5, 2009 - 11:31am

but when changing the appropriate line to :
AdditionalParameters=––enable-extensions

Chrome tries to go the following URL after start:
http://xn--enable-extensions-802ja/
and - the extensions are not working

extensions still not there?

I have no idea why, but after adding the params, I'm still getting a pop-up that extensions aren't enabled (upon installing them).

Extensions . . .

siegfre - November 9, 2009 - 11:07am

You need to use the dev version of chrome (http://portableapps.com/node/21128) not the beta.

thanks a lot... makes sense

cell - November 9, 2009 - 11:28am

Is this the beta version that includes the bookmark sync feature? Thanks Smiling

Problem with the new beta

siegfre - November 5, 2009 - 9:48pm

There seems to be a wee problem when installing the new chrome beta into the same directories as the last beta (4.0223.9). It seems to wipe out all extensions, bookmarks, etc. Sad Good thing I had a backup.

EDIT: forget what I said about the bookmarks & etc.

But, the extensions are not enabled though in this version.

EDIT2: Never mind, this appears to be the beta version & not the dev channel version

what about pdf viewer

luissimasmenem - November 9, 2009 - 2:37am
