Ok, a few things

Sorry this is so long!

  1. Appinfo.ini should look like this. Note the addition of the Association & fileTypeIcons sections.
  2. Remove the directory OpenLPPortable\App\AppName.
  3. Add this png (taken from here)as OpenLPPortable\App\Appinfo\appicon_128.png
  4. Appicon.ico currently includes 16, 32, and 48 px images in 32-bit, please also add 16, 32 and 48 px images in 8-bit, as well as a 256px image in 32-bit
  5. Please add this readme as OpenLPPortable\App\readme.txt
  6. Please add this ini file as OpenLPPortable\Other\Source\AppNamePortable.ini
  7. Please add this license file as OpenLPPortable\Other\Source\LauncherLicense.txt
  8. Please add this readme file as OpenLPPortable\Other\Source\Readme.txt
  9. Please change your OpenLp\Help.html to this content.
  10. Please include the directory found in this 7-zip archive as OpenLP\Other\Help

Also, with regards to the splash screen: Are you wanting to use the stock OpenLP splash screen, or would you like to use one of our splash screens, incorporating the OpenLP logo?

[EDIT 25/06/2012] Please update the download link to link to 1.9.10, and update the release notes to indicate this has been done. Thanks for updating the package, I'll take a look at it again soon!

OpenLP

item 4: What file names do you want me to use for the 8-bit and 32 bit icons?

If the splash screen is referring to the install, yes, we would like to see one of your splash screen with our logo.

appicon.ico

Using something like icofx, add them to appicon.ico

I can do do and send it to you, if you'd like.

And about the splash screen: we'll keep that in mind when 2.0 final is ready to be released, around October, if I remember the info from the openlp-dev mailing list correctly.

[EDIT] Here's a link to the appicon.ico, with the extra icon sizes included: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/85656214/appicon.ico

Changes

I made the changes you requested.

When I do the next nightly build, I'll change the link here to point to that.

OpenLP will work correctly from a UNC connection.

In ...\App\Appinfo\Launcher\OpenLPPortable.ini I have SupportsUNC=Yes, but still get the error message "cannot be started from an UNC...."

Should this INI file be in "App\Appinfo\" or "App\Appinfo\Launcher"

Right now it is in ...\Launcher

If I copy it to App\Appinfo I still get the error message.

Regards ElderP

..\Launcher

The file should be in ..\Launcher.

Since John T. Haller has a working UNC setup, I'll ask if he can look into the issue.

2.0

Some comments about 2.0:

  1. add the following lines to your QtKeysCleanup section:
    4=Qt Factory Cache 4.7\com.trolltech.Qt.QImageIOHandlerFactoryInterface:
    5=Qt Plugin Cache 4.7
  2. Remove the extra Environment section after LanguageFile
  3. i recommend removing both Environment sections, as they are calling VLC in a non-portable manner.

2.0 changes

I added the Qt cleanup keys.
I removed the extra Environment section after LanguageFile

If I remove the [Environment] section for VLC, OpenLP cannot find the VLC binaries it needs if the only install of VLC is on the removable media (it's not installed on the machine locally). I tested this.

OpenLP uses VLC.py and calls the instance check that is in their code.

Check if App is running / in use

Hi ElderP / Gord Caswell ,

I'm testing a collaborative usageof OpenLP by sharing it on Dropbox.
Is it possible OpenLP Portable verify if it's already in use, and pop up a message to prevent concurrent usage?

Regards,
Pedro

Doesn't work is a very vague

Doesn't work is a very vague term.

What are you expecting to happen and what is happening that makes you think it isn't working?
