changing app name in menu

Submitted by Fxp on March 7, 2008 - 10:54am

Hi,

I have installed a portable app (cdexPortable) by pasting it in the portableapps directory.
The problem is that the menu displays the content of the "description" property of this file which is: "version française" (french version) Not very helpful!

Is there a way either to change this property (not possible from windows explorer) or to override it (by an .ini file for example)?

ASuite writes to registry?

I just took a peek at ASuite, a menu supposedly for use on Portable Media. I downloaded the zip and unzipped it.

I started if an a warning popped up on my PC.
Category: System Startup global entry, value added
Entry ASuite, new data path to asuite.exe.

Also I got a skinned version that looked like a PAM mod as well as the slim one I expected to see. Both at the same time... Anyone has some experience with this menu?

I for now assume this is a beta app with issues to iron out.

XAMPP WinMySQLadmin writes my.ini onto host

Submitted by freemp on March 4, 2008 - 4:26pm

I was just wondering into which directory WinMySQLadmin saves the my.ini file it created during first launch.

Looks like it's being written right into the %windir% of the host system.

Now, I'm wondering why XAMPP is being considered portable if it leaves that file on the host... Or did I forget to configure something? I installed the XAMPP launcher, then extracted the XAMPP package, called xampp_setup.bat, started XAMPP via the PortableApps launcher, installed and started the mysql server, started the WinMySQLadmin via the 'Admin...' button. That's it.

@Ryan McCue, help with RDTools

Submitted by wraithdu on March 4, 2008 - 12:40pm

I seem to be having a permissions or something issue with RDTools on 32-bit Vista Ultimate SP1. RDTools seems to create the SendTo shortcuts just fine, but it cannot remove them. This is strange. I have to investigate a little further what's going on and if it is a problem with permissions or not.

Some strange behavior in general though, if I type 'sendto' in the run box in Vista, I get an access denied error. But I can navigate to the directory and delete what I want just fine. I'm sure this is all related.

If anybody need to install a notepad++ plugin (available here) in the non-portable version of notepad++, he usually has to unzip the plugin dlls in "plugins" folder of notepad++ root folder. If the plugin has specific settings, these settings will be saved in an ".ini" file in notepad++ root folder or in "plugins\config\" folder.
