Extra Icons in PortableApps Menu.

Submitted by WynnSmith on December 31, 2008 - 6:30pm

After installing FeedReader 3.13, I see extra icons in my PortableApps menu, including Firebird SQL Server and Inno Setup. Since it didn't have a 'paf.exe' file, I launched the FeedReader installer and chose my PortableApps folder as the destination for the install.

I'm wondering if there's a way to hide the EXEs I don't want to see, if I need to install it differently, or if I need to install it in a different location and bring an icon to the Menu program. But I don't know how to add an icon.

Download is incomplete or corrupted

Submitted by briguy is I on December 29, 2008 - 2:35am

Someone has said that the download link for this software has been fixed. I just tried the download and my download did not complete successfully. I have tried this download several times and every time I try, the download always comes up incomplete. The file size varies eachtime I download the software and it is never completed or is corrupted.

Please fix this issue.

UPX compression of OpenOffice.org 3

Submitted by GrzegorzJZD on December 27, 2008 - 10:06am

Hi

I'd like to know if OpenOfficePortable contains UPX-compressed or normal version of OpenOffice.org 3.

I tried to compress polish language version of OOo3 and put it under OpenOfficePortable/App/openoffice, but after packing it with UPX using PortableApps Compressor, it is no longer starting. No error dialogs appears, but also not working.

I really need to compress it, cause it is to large to store it on small thumbs.

Any ideas what could get wrong and hot to fix it?

Impress 3.0 very slow to load large file when run from USB flash drive

Submitted by Billk on December 21, 2008 - 2:37pm

Hi
Impress 2.4 works fine but version 3.0 takes 11 mins to open a very large (107MB) presentation when I run it from my flash drive (USB2 WinXP) and it then runs unacceptably slowly. It's OK if I copy the Open office folder to my hard drive and run it from there, but version 2.4 is very slick wherever I install it. It's the same on both my desktop and my laptop.
Anyone else had this problem or found a workaround?
Bill

Language Packs make problems during installation with OOP 3

I installed the new portable version 3 today - THANKS TO THE AUTHORS!!! - after having uninstalled the "normal" version 3.

When I tried to add several language packs for v3 I got into trouble. The lang packs wouldn't recognize the portable version at all in neither subfolder I tried.

Then I got the idea
- to rename the folder \portableapps\OOP3\App\openoffice temporarely into
openoffice.org 3,
- installed several Lang packs,
- renamed the folder back to the original name "openoffice".

No link to OOo Selector in PA Menu

Submitted by Suavek on December 21, 2008 - 8:43am

Hi!
I've just installed OpenOffice Portable 3.0. There are six shortcuts in PortableApps Menu (one for each app of the suit) but there is not shortcut for OpenOffice Selector. There is a seventh file - OpenOfficePortable.exe in OpenOfficePortable folder, but PA Menu doesn't show it. How can I make PA to show this file in menu?

Slow context menu

Submitted by Luisef on December 20, 2008 - 1:44pm

I
Congratulations on this new application.
Is there any problem on having the portable version and the installation version in the same PC (Win XP)? I have the two versions of OO3, one in HDD c:\, and the portable in HDD e:\. Since I'm using the portable one, the context menus (in writer, Impress, Clac...) take a long time to open in both versions. Why?
In "installation" of 0O 3 Portable I've chose "import definitions" and follow the instructions to make the version portable a portuguese-pt one by copying the files.
Regards
