couple Coolplayer Qs

Submitted by wolf99 on May 21, 2008 - 8:24am

Hi All

I have been looking for a player that can have a library of music files that are stored on my removable drive.

does this -> http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/?faq#5 mean that coolplayer will do this for me?

Also can coolplayer be used for firefox plugin action?
If not, I found an old thread about using the VLC plugin and altering some file to make it use the portable install, is this the best way to go about this?

Coolplayer+ takes long to close [Solved]

If I run it on a WinXPSP2 limited account machine, it takes up to 45 seconds to close. Does anyone have similar observations?

I just opened it, played something, hit stop and closed it. Then the window goes away but the taskbar-icon remains there for ca 45 sec. It even happens if I just open and close it.

EDIT

Looks like this was my drive being slow...

irExpress vs InfraRecorder

Submitted by nuna on May 21, 2008 - 12:11am

Not sure whether this is an InfraRecorderPortable issue or PortableAppsMenu issue - but here goes:

Why does only irExpress show up in the PortableAppsMenu? Sometimes, you would prefer to go directly to InfraRecorderPortable and don't need the hand-holding of irExpress. I've seen posts in other apps asking about how to supress extra executables from PortableAppsMenu (but no solutions) but in this instance, the supression is already happening and I would like to be able to un-supress InfraRecord.

InfraRecorder 0.45.0.0 and Create DVD Video Discs

Submitted by nuna on May 20, 2008 - 1:47am

With InfraRecorder 0.45.0.0, when I run Video -> Create DVD-Video Disc, after scanning for devices, it does not bring up a Browse for Folder dialog as the previous version (0.44.1) did. Drag/Drop top level directory (written w/DVDFab) to left panel doesn't seem to do anything. Drag/Drop VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS to right panel works, but feels a step backward, UI wise. Is this an intentional "feature", or did something break between 44 and 45 ??

gnucash portable: problem involving gconf

Submitted by Jacob Froehlich on May 19, 2008 - 8:24am

Hi,

while starting to work with gnucash portable I've run into one or more problems.

At first glance the app ran fine on my Windows XP Pro machine, but I soon noticed something puzzling.

Although I had NOT installed the language files the help texts where a mix of English headers and German text body. Leading me to assume that the app was using some system language setting (my desktop language being German).

After saving and switching to another machine the app started with the following error message:
