Free Commander search features

Submitted by Megafrog on July 25, 2010 - 2:26pm

Hi! I love Free Commander, especially to be able to search through the content of documents like I could in WindowsXP. I use the alt-F7 to pull up the search box and it works fine on txt files. The Windows XP search worked on Microsoft Doc files. But Free Commander does not. Does anyone know of a search feature that can look into ODT or DOC files so I can search through the internal text of those just as easily? Within Free Commander or another program? Thanks!

PAL wildcards

Submitted by shanet on July 19, 2010 - 10:55pm

Hey PA.com

I have read in the PAL menu that wildcards are not YET supported for the [FilesMove]. I am wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light as to when wildcards will be supported?

Many thanks

First: we need a forum section for this great browser which will take over the market in time.

Second: you releases the 466.0 dev version to Sourceforge but didn't announce it in front page/feed, why ?
not everyone uses the Updater/Menu.

thanks for your efforts.

[Closed] PortableApps.com Installer

Submitted by shanet on July 12, 2010 - 10:17pm

Hey PA!

I have converted quite a few apps with this problem - Not really a restriction, just annoying. When I create an installer, the loading bar does not run in sync with the progress.

The image below depicts this. Note that the bar is not even half way, but at the bottom, it says "Progress Complete".

I'm not sure whether you can do anything, but even if you did not know this, it has been brought up. Is it just my copy? Because I have downloaded the installer quite a few times and it doesn't seem to fix.

Skype Portable error "Disk Full"

Submitted by tberneman on July 11, 2010 - 12:48pm

Everytime my laptop goes into sleep mode and then wakes up I get an error in Skype Portable saying "Disk Full". I have to quit out of Skype completley and re-launch it from my PortableApps USB drive.

Admins, I didn't see a Skype Forum. Do we need one or is it OK to post in General Discussion?

Possible un-needed registry entries?

Submitted by shanet on July 8, 2010 - 3:20pm

Good day to all,

The following are registry entries I believe are un needed and should be filtered out, as they are part of the windows shell:

When I looked at the manual, I did not find anything documenting these keys.
I think that anything under the following should be disregarded.

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\"

Thankyou for your time,

Shane Thompson
