General Discussion

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.

When I realized DVD Styler was originally supposed to be released as a pre-release quite some time ago, I looked into the PortableApps page and found other unreleased pre-releases.

Scribus: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/ScribusPortable_1.3.3.9-PR...

Cornice: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151265&package_id=...

Tile World: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Tile_World_Portable_1.3_PR...

Is it possible for the installer to use the directory it's in (ie. the directory it was downloaded to) for the install directory if it doesn't find a PortableApps drive? This is what it use to do before (7-zip extractor) it got 'smart' (NSIS).

This shouldn't be too hard to implement, and it would help me tremendously.

I was wondering, where can somebody learn how to use NSIS around here?

Hi John,

Either I'm getting confused with all the forums or I have just forgotten how to attach a file/screen shot to a forum post here...

I also cannot find any hostoric post on how to do this, so can you please let me know how this is done?

I want to include a screen shot of a weird error that I'm getting in the launcher.

Regards
Paul

Hi everyone...

I LOVE Thunderbird.... though I have looked a lot for an ideally sync-able or import-export-able GREAT open source portable-able contacts program....

Any ideas???

Much appreciated!!!

thanks

Hello all. I am looking for a decent USB flash drive (4GB+) to run portable apps from. I did a lot of reading of reviews on the net but I can't come to a solid conclusion. Currently the OCZ Rally2 Turbo is the fastest, but prices are high right now. Also, as this is a new model, the competition hasn't caught up with OCZ yet. When it does, I'd imagine prices to fall. Is this a bad time to buy? I don't have a lot of cash to spend, I just want a fairly quick and reliable drive for my money.

Thanks for any help.

I am trying to add Skype to my portable apps and cannot seem to find an easy way to have it kick-off with a simple click to a portable apps menu. Skype offers portability by using command line parameters: "Skype.exe /datapath:data /removable". But how to get the command line parameters included as part of the command!?

Some things I have tried and some of their problems are:
1)Create a batch file called .bat or .cmd - but then it isn't listed in the portable apps menu (besides which having a command window flash up looks ugly and unprofessional).

How do u change where your program saves its settings? I am running the updates for Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. Im trying to get the files to be saved in an ini file or an xml. if you have any questions, let me know
