Using Command Prompt Portable and a BAT file to start Firefox for a specific URL

Submitted by jeth on February 26, 2009 - 10:03pm

I believe at one point I managed to build a simple little app that used Command Prompt Portable and a BAT file that had been converted to an EXE.

But it's been a while and although I might be able to find it Wink I don't think I have seen how to specify the path to another portable app when I don't know what drive number has been assigned to the USB drive.

Stellarium 0.10.0: Cannot Set Location

Submitted by dhartsoc on February 25, 2009 - 6:11pm

In the Portable App version of Stellarium 0.10.0 the my configuration box has no option to set the location. It is defaulting to Paris which does not do me much good in the American Mid-West.

Curious as to others experience. Have yet to find a solution, except perhaps to backlevel the version I am running.

GnuCash: transaction dates on import

Submitted by PaulDavidSumner on February 22, 2009 - 4:54pm

When importing an .ofx into GnuCash, the dates shown for the transactions are 1 day earlier than shown when the same .ofx is imported into Microsoft Money. My concern with this is that the Microsoft Money dates match those shown in HSBC Internet Banking, i.e. if one of the tools is 'wrong' it would appear to be GnuCash

Does this sound like any known issue?

InfraRecorder 0.46.1 problem: burning stalls building image

OS: Win XP SP 3.
Whether burning files to a CD or image, IR starts by building an image.
During this step, while adding files to the image, it stalls.
No progress on the progress bar, it just hangs forever.
Can't burn anything at all.

I've redownloaded the most recent Infrarecorder Portable, and did a clean install, but no go.

Next, I went to the Infrarecorder site, and saw that the Release Notes for the next rev, 0.46.2, had the following statement:
