Portable fonts in Inkscape Portable

Submitted by nickd on September 22, 2015 - 7:20am

Hello all,

This is my first post, hopefully I'm in the right place.

I am trying to use Inkscape Portable with custom fonts. I read a guide on this site that said fonts can be installed in the 'Fonts' directory (though that may need to be created manually), in the following path:

X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts in a standard platform setup.

So, I copied them to:

C:\Users\username\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts

Unclear error message: The specified file was not found!

Hi !

I run the platform for a year now, but suddenly I get an error message after starting the platform. A dialog with a "red X" titled "PortableApps.com Platform" and saying "The specified file was not found."

How can I find out whats going wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Mate, Berlin

[Solved] Duplicate icons when pinning Apps to the taskbar

Submitted by Reinhold on September 16, 2015 - 12:58pm

Windows 10 Home 64-bit [Build: 10240]
PortableApps.com Platform 12.1
Installation Path: C:\Users\reinhold\Suites\PortableApps

I wanted to pin my favorite apps to the taskbar:
Firefox
Q-Dir
Notepad++

As it wasn't possible to pin the launchers (e.g PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\NotepadPortable.exe) directly, I created shortcuts to those programs on my desktop and pinned the shortcuts to the taskbar, this worked allright.

Sourceforge Adware Injection

I'm having trouble updating both Chrome and Skype - it appears that the SonicWALL Gateway AV now considers SourceForge's injected adware worthy of blocking. ("This request is blocked by the SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus Service. Name: InstallCore.A_43 (Adware)")

SF used to be great, but these days...any chance you guys will be switching to less scummy project hosting soon?

Suggestions

Submitted by Plavozont on September 6, 2015 - 10:57pm

I like portableapps very much, but I have few suggestions about portableapps platform.

1. On WinXP when portableapps platform start menu is not visible it is not shown in the taskbar, only in tray icon, on Win7 it is always visible in the task bar. Please make an option to hide icon from taskbar.

2. Make mouse down animation for buttons (apps, options, search, help) the fact that I press the button and don't see it is pressed is very frustrating.
