A script or plugin to set the download directory in firefox

Submitted by floydr69 on June 7, 2008 - 12:02am

I tried to download a program with firefox portable and it is a nightmare getting to the firefox directory. I want a script or plug-in that sets the download directory (folder)to X:\firefoxportable\downloads\ where X=usb drive letter or better yet saves the path as a .ini file , Floyd

Sorry

John I wanted to apologize for the bumps. I have to admit, I've never actually read the forum guidelines. Anyways I won't do it again.

I did notice several of my posts disappeared yesterday that weren't bumps though. Do you know anything about those? I mean I would post and it appeared to go through right, then I would go back to the recent posts page and they wouldn't be there.

I've finally updated the About Us page with all our new folks. I've added in all the current developers with released apps, site admins, forum mods and translators. I used full names for all the folks with updated usernames (I know I'm behind on some of these). I haven't yet linked the translators to their profiles but I'll be working on it.

NSIS help [Solved]

Submitted by Legace on June 6, 2008 - 3:50am

So, here is my problem. I have a following check box in my installer (nsDialog).
At the moment, the outcome of the checkbox is either 1 or 0 (checked or unchecked).
If the the outcome of $6 were 1 (checked), I need to to be "f".
If the outcome of $6 were 0 (unchecked), I need it to be "m".

Is this possible?

${NSD_CreateCheckbox} 0 70u 100% 10u "Use F"
Pop $Checkbox
....
${NSD_GetState} $Checkbox $6

--- If there is a solution to the problem above, great. But even better would be to have two radio buttons:
o use F
o use M

Skinned my portable apps

Submitted by dmiller40 on June 5, 2008 - 4:21pm

So i really enjoy my portable apps and i brag about it every chance I get! I even have a blog article about it on www.ihelpstupidpeople.com. Just today my buddy was browsing around and found the icons and the theme. He asked me if I could make him a different colored one. I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to do this but I thought I'd share how it turned out anyway.

Crashing portable apps (VMWare related)

Submitted by PollieXmas on June 4, 2008 - 4:37am

I've been having problems with TBP v2.0.0.14 and FFP3 RC1 crashing without it being used, i.e sitting idle in the background. Once they've crashed and sometimes even when they did not crash (not started yet since last reboot) they would not start again/at all. Sometimes when trying to restart them they just crash with the same unexpected error but other times they simply die quietly, i.e. the .exe just disappears from the task manager processes.

Once OOPv2.4 did not want to start either with an error missing one of the installed components.
