PicPick - silly question - Is there an easier way to shut it down?

Submitted by Grantwhy on October 22, 2014 - 12:31pm

Just started using PicPick Portable and it's a very good program.

Only one thing is annoying me.

Exiting PicPick doesn't shut it down ... it minimises to the icon notification area (I'm using Windows 7 64bit if that's important).

To completely exit I have to go into the icon area, right click on the PicPick icon and select exit.

Does anyone know if there is there a setting inside PicPick to exit when you click exit (and not minimise?)

I've looked at the PicPick setting and can't find it (doesn't mean it's not there, just I'm overlooking it :p)

jPortable Problem

Submitted by Atreyu on October 22, 2014 - 5:04am

I am having a frustrating time getting jPortable 7 to work with either portable Chrome and Firefox. Sites that I visit that require the java runtime environment do not work. The browser says "Couldn't load plug-in". Everything is installed the way it should in my thumbdrive with Java in the Commonfiles directory.

I'm using Chrome version 38 with jPortable 7 Update 71 and Windows XP. It used to work a few days ago then something went wrong.

In Chrome, I checked for Java with chrome://plugins/ and it is enabled.

Any help would be deeply appreciated!

[Geany Portable v1.24] Unable to set row highlight color

Submitted by zjhjposk on October 14, 2014 - 8:06am

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a problem with Geany Portable v1.24.

When I select the editor's color scheme via [ Menu > View > Change Color Scheme ], all but the row highlight color is set, which remains the default opaque light grey.

Is there a setting or tweak to change this or is it perhaps a bug? Is anyone else having the same issue?

Chrome is so slow to respond that it's unusable

Submitted by Don H on October 10, 2014 - 2:59pm

Chrome was one of the Apps that updated when I started the Portable apps platform. I'm running from an 8gig USB 2.0 drive under Windows 8.1 will all current updates. Of the 8GB, well over 7GB are free. When I start Chrome, it lags so far behind any input that it's impossible to use. The internet is slow, but even something as simple as typing a URL takes at least 60 sec before any characters appear. Forget using a scroll bar it is many seconds before the full page is cached and the scroll is responsive.

Money Manager Ex Portable

Submitted by stromy93 on October 10, 2014 - 8:43am

I've been using the program and really enjoy it. But the nice thing is I can import account transactions downloaded directly form my checking account. But a problem that I'm having is with the date formatting. I use the format of MM-DD-YYYY. But some reason when the data is imported in, it's switched to DD/MM/YYYY. This ends up totally messing up the new entries to the database. I readjust the date format even before applying the changes and nothing works. The new data imports wrong and messes me up all the time. Any suggestions?
