Notepad++ app size

Submitted by dansmith65 on April 26, 2009 - 4:34am

I don't get it...

If you download the "bin" file from Notepad++ website (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php), the unicode version of the program is only 5.42 MB. Whereas, the "portable" version is 9.09 MB.

And yes, the "bin" download can be run without installing - just put the files where you want them and you're good to go.

In addition, the "portable" version makes it seemingly impossible to sync the settings and plugins with an installed, or "bin" version.

Winmerge site issue: Virus download

Submitted by arinlares on April 25, 2009 - 6:52pm

I was trying to read up on WinMerge, so I went to the site. When I went to read the documentation (under Manual on their homepage), Avast! HE gave me a virus warning. I don't know if anybody else has encountered this, but I'm just putting it out there for somebody else to check out, if possible. Suffice it to say, I'm not using WinMerge until it's handled.

TorPortable

Submitted by ota on April 22, 2009 - 5:27pm

Hello all,
have downloaded and installed Tor Portable 0.2.0.30-0.1.8-0 Development Test 1 but when I try to run it I get this error:

Privoxy(00000a44) Fatal error: init_error_log(): can't open logfile: '.data\privoxy\Privoxy.log'

I tried downloading a previous version (0.1.2.19/0.0.16-2) from sourceforge but the instructions no longer seem tie up with the later version...

There must be some settings that need to be configured in the later version perhaps??? Does anyone have any idea how to set this up properly?

Thanks.

MPlayer - Playing chinese files with chinese filenames.

Submitted by csdordor on April 21, 2009 - 4:50am

I have one problem.

It seems that it can't even play any file (that i know works) if the filenames are in chinese characters example (哦指导- 大mouth.[whatever filetype] To play them i have to rename it again. Which is a tad too much of a hassle for me.

Any suggestions on this?

Here's the screenshot.

Yesterday I converted my portable hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS. All seemed to go well without any issues at all. I was able to use my various applications without any issues at all. Surfed the net, did some Toucan jobs, etc. No issues. However when I ejected my drive using the eject button on the menu (Mod 34 patch for 1.5 PAP Sad ) there was an issue as TaskCoach was hidden is the systray but I didn't know till it popped up with an error then closed.

Coolplayer WMA support?

Submitted by arinlares on April 13, 2009 - 1:07am

Here's the plugin: http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/?plugins#wmaplu (sorry, my HTML skill is somewhat lacking...)

I installed it to play music on my flash drive, but, Coolplayer doesn't natively support WMA, and VLC crashes when I try to edit a playlist. Basically, I'm just trying to get it to install the plugin properly, and play my music.

[Fixed] Notepad ++ Portable (5.3.1)

Submitted by Bart.S on April 10, 2009 - 7:32am
  • Typo in Notepad++Portable.nsi, line 278: StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE "BRAZILILAN_PORTUGUESE"
    Yeah, I really love automatic language switching and the many many bugs (mostly comparing apples and oranges) Wink
  • If you use the Notepad++Portable.ini, Notepad++Portable won't run on Win 95,98,Me. IMHO, drop ansi-support completely or not. Actually, users who disabled the splash (for example) aren't supported.
