My last comment
No, my usb devide no bad. Is 2 gb and i think just old flash disk. I buy at january 2008. Yep i must buy another. I waiting usb 3 flashdisk support, is can more better to run portable app?
USB 3
USB 3 won't bring faster flash drives unless flash speeds improve EXTREMELY quickly between now and then. Average read and write speeds for flash are nowhere even close to the USB 2.0 spec, let alone 3.0.
Speeds are there for $$$
Sata flash drives have way more speed than max usb2.0 so it is possible if they want to make them. Ooo how I would love an intel x-25 esq drive on a usb3.0. Why do I always want technology that is not here yet
Layout bug
The PA.c footer seems to have messed up the layout in the latest version, at least under Win7. It doesn't affect usability, but it does look really ugly: The footer doesn't fit the window properly and causes "nsis.sourceforge.net" to appear on a new line and also creates both a vertical and horizontal scrollbar .
Large Fonts
Like many apps, the NSIS menu doesn't like large fonts. There is no workaround. The same issue existed with the last version and will probably exist with the next.
No large fonts
This is on Windows 7 with default settings (96 dpi). I haven't changed the font sizes at all.
Confirmed
Huh, weird. It works just fine on my Vista desktop. But on my Windows 7 laptop, it has the issue. I'll investigate and post a revision.
Hm... why are the icons in
Hm... why are the icons in the Applications section for NSIS Portable different than the one used for the menu and launcher?
Size
The circle one is the real icon of the app and what is used in the menu and launcher. It doesn't exist well as 75px or 128px (except as unofficial mods of it), which are used in the app homepage and news announcements and look better at larger sizes anyway. They don't have to be the same.
