FastCopy with Windows 8

Submitted by Mavis Beacon on July 9, 2015 - 12:09am

I have been looking for a good Windows file copier, and the only one that I can find on this site is FastCopy.

I have read reviews on other websites, and this software seems highly regarded. One of the negatives given however, is that it is not compatible with Windows 8.

Chrome offline installer

Submitted by syogod on July 7, 2015 - 11:19am

It looks like my place of work has recently blocked whatever site the portable installer is going to to download Google Chrome. After looking through these forums it seems like I should be able to get the installer from somewhere else and put it in the same directory as the GoogleChromePortable installer. However this doesn't seem to be working.

In a directory I have the following:

43.0.2357.130_chrome64_installer.exe
43.0.2357.130_chrome_installer.exe
GoogleChromePortable_43.0.2357.130_online.paf.exe

What am I doing wrong?

qBittorrent: Auto-Shutdown Doesn't Work

PaddyM's picture
Submitted by PaddyM on July 6, 2015 - 8:28am

I asked the developer of qBittorrent about this, and he told me to come here instead.

I've been using the portable qBittorrent for 2 or 3 versions now, and in none of those versions has the Auto-Shutdown function worked for me. When I set the program to auto-close upon completion of the downloads, nothing happens. The same is true when I set it to shutdown the PC.

Is this something intentionally disabled in the PA version, or is it a bug?

Cheers!

Skype leaving stuff behind in %USERPROFILE%\Tracing\WPPMedia et al

Skype Portable leaving stuff behind in %USERPROFILE%\Tracing\WPPMedia and similar Registry entries

Win 8.1

Haven't used Skype for months
File dates match to last auto update
Just checked by starting & stopping Skype and seeing extra files and reg keys changing

To add to the fun Tracing is a system folder or similar.
Is it possible Win is creating the fluff in response to Skype rather than Skype itself creating the them?

In any event they shouldn't be there after a Skype Portable session on a random system.

How to get two launcher.exe

Submitted by QWiiK on June 23, 2015 - 5:18pm

Hi,

i currently make my own portable version of Rainmeter and so far everything works fine. The only Problem I have is when I build the launcher - EXE I only get 'RainmeterPortable.exe' and the second one 'SkinInstallerPortable.exe isn't created.

That's my 'Control' section in appinfo.ini:
Icons=2
Start=RainmeterPortable.exe
Start1=RainmeterPortable.exe
Name1=Rainmeter
Start2=SkinInstallerPortable.exe
Name2=SkinInstaller

In my launcher.ini I have only this in 'Launch'-Section:
ProgramExecutable=Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe
