[Fixed] GnuCash Portable 2.4.7: cannot set language

Submitted by name12345 on July 24, 2011 - 7:12pm

I am trying to use GnuCash Portable 2.4.7 on my system (which is set to German language). However, GnuCash Portable always starts in English. It ignores the line "language=de" that I added to \Data\settings\GnuCashPortableSettings.ini

The only way to have it in German is by starting it via the PortableApps Platform Menu. Then the program surface (that is set through the "LANGUAGE=" parameter in nonportable GnuCash) appears in German. The account descriptions (set through "LANG=" in nonportalbe) are still shown in English though.

Any ideas?

Google Chrome - disappearing settings/extensions?

Submitted by htismaqe on July 21, 2011 - 11:18am

I recently lost my USB drive and had to start from scratch. I had been using Chromium Portable for a long time and was happy with it.

After the crash I was wanting to get back up and running fairly quickly so I tried out Maxthon. It didn't work well with KeePass (issues with window focus) so I downloaded Google Chrome Portable and went with that.

I had been using it for a couple of weeks until yesterday when I started it up and noticed it appeared to be reset to defaults and my bookmarks were gone.

DIA - Additional Shapes

Submitted by JKEngineer on July 20, 2011 - 8:50pm

I have found a large number of additional shape files for Dia at
http://dia-installer.de/shapes/index.html.en
(this is the link to the English page).

There is also a downloadable program to install them, which I sort of tried and did not succeed with. However, in looking at the existing files in my Dia PA installation I figured out how to install the additional shapes. Here's the procedure:
1. at the link above, download the zip file for the shape set of interest.
2. While it can be extracted, the installation can be done without actually extracting the zip.

VirtualDub Codecs/Plugins

Submitted by getco on July 20, 2011 - 1:33pm

Hello,

I downloaded VD, and the plugins pack. However VD will not load any video file - I've tried all formats and it always says MISSING CODEC... sometimes it won't even load the file (as is the case with avi - which I get - there is no xvid codec in the pack, but how about the ones that are in the pack??). At best it would only play the audio.

Chrome 12.0.742.112 sync options not staying

Submitted by imbosun on July 20, 2011 - 1:45am

Hi, I'm using the PortableApps Chrome 12.0.742.112, however under Options -> Personal Stuff -> Sync, the sync options/credentials do not save from session to session. ie. if I close Portable Chrome and open it up again, I have to manually re-sync everything each time instead of Chrome automatically syncing in background. Any way to fix this?

Thanks.
