XMPlay skins, getting them to load

Submitted by miktab on August 28, 2013 - 4:45am

I'm writing down how I managed to get xmplay skins to load onto the portableapps version 3.7 of xmplay (in case anyone else has the same trouble).

XMPlay's support site says you can place the skins (.xmpskin files) "anywhere". See their article "Installing Skins, Plugins and Visuals":
http://support.xmplay.com/article.php?id=4

First, I made a "Skins" folder (since there wasn't one in my xmplay portableapp) and placed all my downloaded ".xmpskin" files in it.

[Fixed] McAffee Stinger leaves C:\Quarantine\Stinger behind

By default, Stinger quarantines to C:\Quarantine\Stinger.

This directory structure is then left behind on close.

Although there is an option within the program to change this location, I can't find where that data gets updated, so I can't offer any ideas on how to change it permanently, other than to do a DirectoriesMove on the directory structure.

Hello,
In recent weeks, I receive a warning from update Portable skype (SkypePortable_6.7.59.102), but after an error it will not install.

"The download Skype is not valid and can not be installed"

I tried to find previous versions but I found nothing.

Can you help me?

Need ConEmu to be able to launch gvimportable as a shell

Submitted by Charles Kennedy on August 23, 2013 - 5:24pm

I use ConEmu portably with PortableApps suite. It's not an officially supported app, but what it can do is run cmd and powershell as well as vim as seperate "shells".

I would like to use the portable gvim inside this console. My only issue is that I don't know how to tell ConEmu where gvim is.

Seeing as the drive letter changes everytime there's nothing to tell ConEmu what the new drive letter is for gvimportable.exe.

Is there some form of Environmental variable for the "\PortableApps\" Directory?

Ex: %UserProile%

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi,
Every time i open the launcher it say that Utorrent Portalbe 3.3.1.30017 is available, but when i try to install it, it say that the downloaded file isn't valid and can't be installed, maybe it's an incomplet download or a network problem, try again.

does anyone have a idea what my be the problem?

thanks

How to transfer user data and settings from install Skype to Portable Skype?

Submitted by Nini.1973 on August 19, 2013 - 6:18pm

OK, I use the install version of Skype on my PC, but would like to exchange it for the portable version. I can open the setup file and create a new virgin version of Portable Skype on a USB stick which I could copy to my PC. But how do I get my settings and contact lists of my Skype accounts into the portable version? Please help!!!
