Google Chrome - deleted profile

Submitted by ratcatcher on September 20, 2014 - 4:10am

I have Google Chrome portable 37.0.2062.120 which I alternate between two machines.

As of yesterday, each time I move my PA stick between machines and start Google Chrome, it deletes my profile. If I look in settings I see a message to the effect that another programme corrupted my profile and it has been reset to default.

Copying my profile from backup restores normal operation. Closing and re-opening Chrome on the same machine causes no problem - only swapping between machines.

Foxit Reader bug (personal stamp missing)

The portable version of Foxit Reader - ever since - can not remember the custom stamps that can be created with the appropriate function.

It is a shame!

You lose a great feature and also it is very tedious to rebuild each time stamp.

I find it strange that no one has noticed.

Thank you in advance who will be able to fix this bug!

Skypeportable 6.2 not running on older machine

Submitted by pakmenu on September 12, 2014 - 2:38am

Upgraded from skype 4.something to 6.2 (today) as the older skype versions don't seem to work/login anymore. (maybe a chinese firewall thing, i live there?)
Anyway on my newer laptop 6.2 works fine, on my older 11 years old lenovo i get: Failed to get proc address for GetLogicalProcessorInformation (Kernel32.dll)

on startup, says it's a fatal error. end of skype on my desktop?

opera portable stopped working

My opera portable stopped running. It does not even open. It doesn't show up in the task manager. All my other portable apps work. The PA launcher has been updated. The Opera version was uptodate the last time I used it. I have also reinstalled it. It simply does not run at all. I even tried a brand new portable install on my desktop, and it will not run. Any thoughts? Would a lack of admin rights prevent it from running? My IronPortable runs fine on the same computer.

Portable Chrome less portable

Submitted by Morfos on September 11, 2014 - 11:20am

Since today (11 September), I am unable to set the home page in Portable Chrome. It's defaulting to the "administrator settings", which requires a particular local homepage.

This doesn't seem very portable. I thought portable apps were meant to have very limited footprint on the system they're running on. Plus I usually use about:blank as a homepage because it's faster to load.

Stellarium 0.13 Portable

Submitted by jhlarson134 on September 9, 2014 - 7:56pm

Stellarium 0.13 does not work on laptops anymore. Older version did work on them. The New version requires Windows 7 and a 3d graphic card. The older versions worked fine without a graphic card. There is suppose to be a MASE version that suppose to work in these cases. Just passing along the word.

FP for trojan in notepad2 ?

Submitted by hfelton on September 6, 2014 - 1:13pm

afaict, clamav is the only antivirus that is flagging notepad2 (the paf, not the main-exe) as a trojan...

it looks like folks have checked the file (monthly?) since june of this year... see: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/51a048bdfbe2c718312560cf49f31148ee8b7...
and my most-recent check at the other-place is at: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/b7a52cabc03ecbd215634ce5ece9d49...

my question, assuming that it is indeed a false-positive, has to do with why i was not able to locate any mention of it in the forums...

XMind and WordWeb apps

Submitted by Huskey on September 5, 2014 - 4:32pm

I've installed the portable app of XMind and WordWeb along PortableApps' other apps on my flash drive. When I click on PortableApps' start.exe XMind doesn't show a shortcut on the left side and WordWeb has 4 entries.

What do I have to do that these two apps show one entry each like previous installation of other apps?

Many thanks for your help.
