Copypasta error on the page:
Source Code: Launcher, Source (Juice)
As well as saying Juice, the link points to the Juice source page too.
Also, anyone else getting script stopped responding errors (Firefox) recently on the PortableApps file page on SourceForge due to the ridiculous number of folders on that page? It seriously needs a cleanup. The new 'Source' folder with half a dozen apps in it is a start, but there is a long way to go.
Fixed
I'm moving the source files into individual sub-directories. As a general rule, there no reason to browse into the full list. Unfortunately, SF has trouble handling a project as large and popular as ours.
One Reason
Thanks John. The only reason I have to visit the Files page is that many of the older apps Source links actually link to the FileZilla source folder. Thus, you click the source link for the app, and end up in the FileZilla folder. You then click the Files link to get to the Files page, hit Ctrl+F and type in the app name to find the source folder for the app you are after, and then you can enter it to download the source. It is when you click the Files link that you notice the page timing out due to its size.
I haven't mentioned the large-ish number of incorrectly pointing links before (I download the source for every app I download - which in fact is all of them - so I tend to notice the broken source links) as I figured that the app directory you've mentioned a few times will fix the links when it goes live.
(I do note that the newer apps - say the apps newly released over the last couple of months, but not including the updated older apps - have generally been given the correct link to the source folder. It is just the older apps that have the problem)
Interesting
You should have mentioned it on the release pages of the individual apps, or posted a topic about it somewhere in the forums, but anyway I went through and made a list Here.
(Took a lot longer than I expected)
Yep, fair point...
Yes, thinking about it again now, I should have mentioned each time I came across the problem when I went to get the source. Sorry about that everyone
I think I had seen a few copy/paste mistakes upon a newer app's release (which John had fixed shortly afterwards when someone had mentioned it), and a couple of them had been fixed with the comment that the new app directory would reduce those copy/paste errors - and I got it into my head somehow (I just assumed it I suppose) that it would fix all the incorrect source links at the same time when it became live
That was stupid on my part.
You did well to create the list though 3D1T0R, a lot of the old apps were affected - and that is one big list!
Key Features vs uTorrent
Hi
As a fairly avid user of (Portable) uTorrent, can someone advise if this has any key features (functionality) over uTorrent? I don't use many advanced functionality of uTorrent, just the specifying different directories for saving .torrents, saving files to and autoloading .torrents from.
I did notice uTorrent just says FreeWare, but this says "Free / Open Source".

Language
When I change language in the program, requires restart. After restarting the language is again English. How do I change the language?
Platform Integration
One of the features of the PortableApps.com Platform is that many PortableApps will switch to use whatever language you have set the Platform to. Thus you can change the language of the Platform (Options > Language > [YourLanguage]) then launch qBittorent Portable, or you can launch the PortableApp without the Platform (by running
X:\PortableApps\qBittorrentPortable\qBittorentPortable.exedirectly, in this way it will stay on whatever language you have set in the Apps settings previously)I believe there is also a way to disable the Platform's Automatic Language Switching feature, but can't remember how off the top of my head.
Nope
Language switching is not implemented in this app.
OK, Sorry.
Haven't tried it, I just incorrectly presumed that was what he was experiencing as that's what most of this kind of complaint are about.
Edit: I was semi-right It was an Automatic Language Switching oriented issue, but it's because it isn't working quite right yet, not because somebody misunderstood the feature. (see below comments)
Why do you say that?
If there is a problem, please let me know so I can fix it.
Language switching is implemented in qBittorrentPortable. Not all of the languages supported by the platform are implemented in qBittorrent.
Platform Language Switching
Sorry, to clarify, whenever we say 'language switching' we're referring to automated language switching with the PortableApps.com Platform. This is not implemented in qBittorrent Portable.
You can switch qBittorrent Portable's language, but it is reset back to English on restart (a bug in the portable package, it appears). I just verified this.
My mistake...
I thought that the platform language was supposed to override the language set within the app. Can you point me to an App that does this correctly so I can fix the bug?
Thanks,
Andy
Unrelated
My point is that the bug is something within the current qBittorrent Portable which is completely independent of platform language switching. Platform language switching is *not* implemented in your launcher.ini. So this bug is unrelated to platform language switching and should be fixed before any attempt at enabling platform language switching. The bug is that qBittorrent comes up in English on every launch regardless of what you set it to on last run.
1. Start qBittorrent Portable
2. Change language to Spanish (it requires a restart to finish the change but will immediately change a couple things like the status bar)
3. Close qBittorrent Portable
4. Start qBittorrent Portable and note that it is English again
It's implemented, but not correctly
Language switching is implemented in launcher.ini (If you change the language from the platform, qBittorrent Portable will open with that language if it has it available), but it apparently isn't implemented correctly. That is my point. Here is my code for language switching:
[FileWrite1]
Type=INI
File=%PAL:DataDir%\settings\AppData_qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini
Section=Preferences
Key=General\Locale
Value=%PortableApps.comLocaleglibc%
This will always overwrite the language set by the program with the language from the Platform. I thought that was how it was supposed to be. My mistake.
Can you point me to an App that uses launcher.ini that handles language switching correctly?
it's work
I removed this path and now language don't reset.
Ah, MIssed That
Ah, I missed that because you don't have any of the 'Languages' sections in the INI. Because of that one section in the INI, it will reset it to blank every time it is launched without the platform and the app will start up in English. I looked at it and it will probably require some custom coding as it doesn't even properly match up the file names (which use es, fr, etc) and the actual entry within the settings file (which uses es_ES, fr_FR, etc). It may make sense to just do a release without language switching and then address it later so we can get people a working version. Or you can pop into IRC tonight and Chris and/or I can assist with getting it up and running. Either way, I'd like to get a fix out tomorrow so people can start using it.
OK
I put up a Pre-Release that comments out my language switching code and change the AppInfo.ini to say Language=English. Does that cover it for now?
Multilingual
It's still multilingual (as it supports multiple languages even if it doesn't switch) but no need to change that again (I'll take care of it in the release). I'll double check your release and post the update today.
I found a way how to change
I found a way how to change the language. Enough to expose a read-only attribute for file ..\qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\AppData_qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini
But in this case all the settings in the future will have to do only in this file, and not through the program.
