Other Apps Support (Deprecated)

Has anyone had any luck getting stock quotes retrieval to work from GnuCash. I have both GnuCash and Perl loaded as PortableApps. I suspect that GnuCash is not aware of the Perl install.

Does it need to find Perl at GnuCash install time or runtime or both?

Is there a GnuCash configuration that can be changed to find the PortableApps version of Perl?

Hi,
I've been using skypeportable for years, several versions, mainly 5.x.
One thing I don't like is that the password part is not indeed portable --- if running in another PC, or current PC has an OS reinstallation, I'll be asked password. And you know, we're easily forgetting password in a long run.
Does everybody has this problem? Where/which file is the password saved?
Any idea?

Hi There,

I have been trying out the latest skype portable 6.1.0.129. The problem i've noticed is that once run it always creates a skype folder in the programdata folder, and also a skype folder in the users profile/appdata/ roaming folder.

The skype folder in the roaming folder is empty.

But the one in programdata is not, and the contents of this folder are also in the skypeportable/app/skype/login folder.

But skype portable is using the roaming one and not the portable one ?

Any ideas please ?

Thanks

I need two instances of PortableChrome/PortableIron with different GoogleChromePortable.ini or IronPortable.ini files. Do I have to install two instances of the the same software in two directories as well or can I solve this by one install, two sets of parameters?

Hi,

I am looking for expert advice and guidance and someone to help guide me through this with a step by step approach. I have appealed for help on other forums and got mixed responses.... Ideally I'm looking to do a "clean" backup and restore without even installing the software doing the backup on the C drive as when the backup is being done it will backup the backup software itself.

Operating System: Windows 7 64 Bit , Drives: SSD C: and 2x 1 tb internal drives labelled as D: and E:, and a 4 TB NAS Drive

How do I uninstall jPortable? Is it simply a case of deleting the X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java folder and sub-folders?

If so, given that X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles will then be empty, can I delete that, too?

Is there anything else I need to do to complete the process?

Regards

Nick

The download of WinMerge 2.12.4.0 includes a folder named [lang] containing all the lang files of 7-Zip. This is an error during packaging because these files do not belong to WinMerge. They should be deleted.

This is how iron starts up now, even after the actual relaunch. So in other words, just does not start up. Is this a feature of the portable version or of Iron itself?

I guess it should work if I delete only a file or directory but I don't want to lose my settings. Any similar experience with Iron or a solution in mind?

The easy way to do it in Windows is to make a shortcut, add argument. Or make a batch file. But neither the shortcut nor the batch will not run from the PortableApps Platform.

Any workaround?

Maybe to save someone elses time: The common backup/restore of the search engines within the SQL database Web Data does not work without hands-on this time as Google has added another column: alternate_urls VARCHAR.

So after the backup of the keywords table I added '[]' at the end of each line.

Then you can restore to the new version. If you don't do this, the search engines will not show up in the new Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.52.

Here is the batch script I use:

@echo off

set DB_PATH=P:\software\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile\Default
