songbird portable - add-ins don't install

Submitted by Alexalexalex on December 31, 2009 - 4:04am

Hello, I've just downloaded the latest release of Songbird portable.
However, it seems that add-ins won't install...
I have tried 2 ways: browsing in Songbird to a download page, and downloading an add-in to my desktop and installing from there (tested on LyricMaster and Last.FM). The result is a bit disappointing: Songbird recognizes an extension and asks for the restart to install it. After the restart nothing happens...

Is it a bug or add-ins are not expected to function in a portable edition?

songbird portable

Submitted by periferral on December 30, 2009 - 7:06pm

hi all. i was using songbird portable with a really annoying bug and was eagerly awaiting the update. I just upgraded to find the bug still exists.

I'm using this on windows xp sp3. I'm using litestep as my shell just in case it matters. The problem is that when have it running and minimize the app, then maximize it again, I cannot minimize it unless I move the app before minimizing it again.

So again to reiterate the problem
1. Open songbird
2. minimize. it does minimize
3. maximize

Java portable won't work

Submitted by toolfan2k4 on December 28, 2009 - 6:05pm

I am trying to make Java portable work with the portable apps version of Mozilla Firefox. My understanding is that firefox portable should automatically find this. However it does not work, is there a specific install procedure to make it work with firefox? Does it just not work with firefox? I prefer to run it from a network shared drive, but I have also tried running them all from my local PC's drive. Please advise, much appreciated.

Plugin Manager causes N++ Portable to lose settings

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on December 22, 2009 - 11:55pm

I just used the Plugin Manager to uninstall Light Explorer (which I previously installed), and now every time I start up Notepad++, it asks me to apply pending actions. When I do that, it goes through the motions, then restarts, except all my customizations have been lost. If I then close N++ and restart, the plugin manager asks to apply actions again.

Looking into this further, it appears that when the Plugin Manager restarts N++, the launcher thinks it's finished and cleans up. Then N++ starts again, but with default settings.

Portable Chrome writes to drive too much.

Submitted by Anthony A on December 18, 2009 - 2:42pm

When I use Chrome I notice that the activity indicator on my thumb drive constantly flashes. This does not happen om other portable browsers I use. Chrome puts the cache in the computers temp folder and deletes it on close so it's not that causing the activity. What is Chrome doing that makes it access the the thumb drive so much? It's going to prematurely ware out the drive and its slows down browsing.
