Thanks
Thats a very useful addition!
unknown publisher?
I see this installer isn't digitally signed?
Updated
That was an oversight on my part. I've updated it to with the digitally signed version.
Each Time I restart GoldenDict all my Installed Dict are Lost
Each Time I restart GoldenDict all my Installed Dict are Lost or deleted
Location
Where are you installing them to? They should be copied to GoldenDict\Data\content when GoldenDict is closed.
Thx alot Now is Working ;)
Thx alot John. Now is Working 100/100
Great
I've added it to the description so it's clearer for other users now, too. Oddly, this information isn't made clear on the base app's site either.
Can't add sound dirs
Can't add sound dirs.
YEah
The app itself disables these in portable mode. Probably because of path issues. I think we could work with the main devs to get things working, though. There's nothing our launcher can't handle in terms of updating full paths in settings files or song lists in INI, config, XML or even a SQLite database.
Yep, GoldenDict itself disables that
As John said, GoldenDict itself disables sound dirs in portable mode. I posted a feature request on their forum, and hopefully we'll be able to get that working, either in GoldenDict itself or in the launcher.
Registry
This program writes to the registry
I have to remove it
And Removed On Exit
And it removes the keys on exit. As do many apps.
Installation error on attempt to write QtWebKit4.dll
I just obtained the GoldenDict Portable install program (version 1.0.1-1). I checked the file for internal errors with 7-zip, to ensure the down-load didn't leave out anything or corrupt the file. Also, I checked the MD5 signature and it matched.
During install into the PortableApps suite, the installer stops with a message that the QtWebKit4.dll file can't be written. I re-tried the install more than once and it stops at the same place.
The USB flash stick is not full. I am running Win2K Pro, with all the available updates installed - that has not interfered with any of the other installations into the suite.
What can I do to get the install to complete?
Thanks,
