.ini Files and Directories

Submitted by Mutetwo on September 10, 2013 - 7:06pm

I've been going crazy trying to make my python 3.3 portable but I just get in the .ini files in.

Can somebody give me a straight forward example? I don't need five paragraphs explaining it, I just need a basic and legitimate example that works. And MAYBE a brief explanation.

All I need is an example of what is required of me to use the PortableApps.com Launcher. Is that too much to ask for?

PicPick_easiest way to add caption

Submitted by christina_a on September 7, 2013 - 12:39pm

AFAIK, PicPick doesn't have a specific "Add a Caption" to image feature (DON'T mean a text box on top of image).
Surprising, given how advanced it is.

Only fairly clumsy way I found to add caption is
- take screen shot
- resize canvas - seems to only add space at bottom - no option to change that.
- if want caption on top of image, drag image down into newly resized canvas.
- draw text box in blank area of canvas space (at top) to create a pseudo caption.
- enter / edit text.

Is there an easier, faster way to add captions in PicPick?

Running chrome portable along side existing chrome install

Submitted by DoubleMintBen on September 5, 2013 - 1:31pm

The place I work has had firefox installed for the longest time, and I've always preferred chrome to firefox. I downloaded chrome portable and started using that, got it connected to my profile, all my bookmarks synced, got bookmarks I use frequently for work on the toolbar going and now my place of work had decided to install chrome on the computers. Not only install chrome but a highly locked-down user version of chrome. I cannot get my chrome portable to load its own profile, it loads up the same chrome as I get when I click on the shortcuts in the start menu.

GVim Portable single instance only

Submitted by lordmax on September 4, 2013 - 8:26am

Hi to all

I'm on windows7 pro system.
I use gvim for almost all my editing needs and it works really well.

The strange thing is that only one instance can work at the same time.
For simplicity I will need 2 or 3 instance at the same time and I can't figure how.
At the moment I'm using the portable version and one from the cygwin terminal but's not so easy to handle
^__^

Can someone help me?
Thanks

Updating Apps

Submitted by Fordis on September 1, 2013 - 12:28pm

Hi there,

I'm already using some portable apps way back few months ago, but without using the platform.

So now, may I ask how can I update my apps in a way that all my data will remain intact?

For example: RedNotebook

I have lots of diaries and notes already there.

Thanks.
