[Outdated] Songbird Portable 1.2 Development Test 4

*basks in the glory of Songbird Portable*
OOOOH AAAAAH
Thanks Gizmo ^_^
(btw first post :P)

Thanks Gizmo = )

EDIT: Working a dream. Used on XP SP3 with and without rights. Loving the features of the new version.

I shall give this a spin right away. Thanks for this

There's a twenty second delay when I restarted, after initial setup, from the splash screen to the program showing anything useful. Beyond that, no problems.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just installed Songbird on my HD, and it's a bit slow on it's startup anyway. There are no performance issues.

But I thought Zach was doing this one? He give up?

It does not seem to change the drive letter because I used it on one computer and pointed it to my portable music directory and moved to another computer with a different drive letter and could not find the directory.

I waited ages for that one!
Just installed it and everything seems to work fine, even with updates of the plugins.
I also did an update from Songbird Portable 1.0 Development Test 1 with a custom skin, everything worked out fine.
Great work, I love it!

What's the download count like now and for how many hours?

Hi,
I have upgraded Songbird portable previous dev release with with the 1.2 portable version and now it is not starting can you help?

Thanks for making it portable.
Looking forward to the version were the "problems" with the registry and folders will be fixed.

I have a copy of my portableapps directory in my work PC, something like c:\aa\aa\Portableapps.
Yesterday, I ran Songbird while my USB key with the portableapps was in. I am not sure which Songbird I ran, I believe the harddrive one but it could be the USB.
Next time I checked my USB key, it had a E:\AA\AA\PortableApps\Songbird\Data directory.

EDIT: Just regressed to DT1 to test if the issue was isolated to DT2 and my beloved Aero Bird Pro feather loaded without any issues, oh and all my other extensions So yeah appears the issue is isolated to DT2.

That thing you were talking to John about with trimming a GUID after ConfigRead. You only need one StrCpy, not two.

StrCpy $0 `"{95e21257-dd32-4a4c-a8cf-b404864bc2a8}");`
StrCpy $1 $0 -6 2 ; 95e21257-dd32-4a4c-a8cf-b404864bc2a8

(String length of $1 is 6 less than $0, and starts at the second character after the start).

Also remember that if you feel like it you can add the "{ to the ConfigRead and then you can just do StrCpy $1 $0 -4.

I am trying to use Songbird portable on a flash drive with my music, but the drive letter changes from time to time. How do I give Songbird a relative path to my music? The library still shows up, but tells me the path to my watch folder is unavailable, and all the songs are unplayable because it can't find the directory.

It seems like instructions or a default way to do this would be a necessity to make it really portable, although it is already convenient as is.

Will test and modify tis post with feedback later. Just wanted to say thanks straight away

EDIT: Umm.. Dont know what to say.. No Issues period
