Lightscreen bug

Submitted by JKEngineer on November 28, 2010 - 5:49pm

I am using Lightscreen v 1.01 on an XP Pro 32 bit machine. I have portable apps "installed" on the HD.
Lightscreen does not seem to put a screen shot into the clipboard unless I also select "File" under Options>General. I have not used a clipboard viewer to confirm this, but I cannot paste into email, for example, unless the File box is checked.
Any one else? Any thoughts?

Portable Java to run generic Java apps?

Submitted by ulflier on November 26, 2010 - 7:05pm

If I understand correctly, Portable Java, and Java Portable Launcher are limited in what they can run.

Can they run third-party Java apps?

Asking because I just came across an app called "Data Crow" that requires Java 1.6 or higher.
Its FAQ says it is portable:

"Data Crow does not rely on the registry and only writes files to the sub folders of the Data Crow installation directory. You do not even have to use the installer. You can simply download the zipped version and unpack this in the desired location".

Opera Portable Profile issues

Hello guys,
I noticed that you move Opera's profile in Opera Portable 10.63. This is unnecessary in my opinion, since Opera has a "hidden" switch which will allow you to redirect most of its data (which normally goes into $AppDir). It's not perfect, but it saves you from moving around temporary_downloads and such. Apart from that, I'm sure that if you report the remaining problems to Opera, they will certainly fix it.
I haven't had the time to get PAL to do what I want from it, so I'll just describe the method here.

Google Chrome 7.0.517.44 Fails to Install Extensions

Regardless of the extension, every time I click on the 'Install' button I get the following message:

Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html.
Failed to load resource.

Oddity: if I use Chrome on the PC, the same extensions install fine, just not on the Portable Apps version of Chrome. Both are version 7.0.517.44.

help?

Google Chome 7 losing connection

I have been having a problem with Google Chrome recently. When using on work computer (XP) it will work for 10 or so minutes then every page will turn up with this error:

The webpage at https://portableapps.com/forums might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Here are some suggestions:

Exiting and restarting Chrome is the only fix that i have been able to work. Firefox or Opera dont do this.

* Failure when processing path parameters without drive letter.

Here's the patch...
