Hi Travis,
I don't know if this is a bug, let's call this a missing feature
You could choose Custom Colors in ConvertAll.
- Options --> Set background color --> Add to Custom Colors or
- Options --> Set text color --> Add to Custom Colors
These colors are saved in the Registry:
HKCU\Software\Trolltech\OrganizationDefaults\Qt\customColors
Your launcher doesn't save and restore this key, it only deletes the key. So the Custom Colors are lost at next launch.
PS: Well folks, don't post the same in my FreeMat Portable thread, Dev Test 3 has the same missing feature too. Edit: Feature added in Dev Test 4
PPS: Another small thing for the next release: Legal Copyright: PortableApps.com and contributors
I think we need common code for all QT-apps. Without that, registry keys becomes messy.
Say we have 2 or more QT-apps (like FreeMat and ConvertAll):
Suggestion: Instead of using -BackupbyAPortable and -BackupbyBPortable we should introduce something like -BackupbyPortableApps.com.
Each PortableApp uses the same key and the last closed set the original key back.
Ahh, too much html, but I hope you understand my thoughts
maybe something like this do the trick. Comments are welcome!
well i was already aware of this. i decided to have it mess with the registry as little as possible because i didn't really think anyone would care about having their swatch of saved custom colors. if you change the color it saves the current one, it just doesn't save all the ones you make. i can add that in for the next upgraded version though

Well, that's true but not the main problem.

Nope, you could save 16 custom colors. Just click a square below custom colors, change the color and click "Add to custom colors".
I think the main problem is that if you use 2 or more Qt-Apps and you don't close them in reversed order, registry keys will be left behind and/or the original key will be overwritten.
There are many Qt-Apps out there, either we find a solution or the user should only use one portable Qt-App at the same time.
