PuTTY: Problems recompiling

Submitted by caporion on March 12, 2007 - 5:24pm

Hello,
I tried recompiling the portable app launcher for this from the source included but NSIS gives me errors, see output below:

PuTTY: Short Session List

Submitted by Paul Taylor on March 9, 2007 - 11:33am

I'm new to PortablePuTTy, but a long-time user of native PuTTy.
I have 130+ Sessions in the registry (Windows XP).

I've exported the Sessions and appended to the putty.reg file
for PortablePuTTy, however when it is initially fired up,
only a small (variable number 1-20) of the session are visible
as 'Saved Sessions'.

Curiously if I start second/subsequent PortablePuTTy sessions
up a complete list is available.

Any suggestions ?

Pidgin: Last position

Submitted by powerjamer4ever on March 9, 2007 - 12:42am

Notice that Gaim Portable would remember the last position.
First used Gaim Portable on a wide screen PC. shifted the window to the top right.

then moved my USB to a laptop

started Gaim Portable.
it appeared to be out of the screen of my laptop

Since Gaim Portable is portable, maybe it should dynamically position itself to be within the screen area instead of the previous position.

Pidgin: settings, usernames and passwords deleted

Submitted by guestt on March 8, 2007 - 11:02am

Ok ,this might sound stupid but I am sure I am not. Smile

I don`t know exactly why but it`s true. I am using portableapps on my harddisk (d:\...) aswell too. If I format c:\ and reinstall windows then my accounts and passwords are not longer saved in portable gaim.

The otr files are deleted aswell. But gaim is still startable...

I am almost sure you won`t belive me. I guess gaim will delete the settings on gaim`s first start on new system. Perhaps it`s not portable gaim`s failure, but otr`s.

PuTTY: Version number

Submitted by jacksont3 on March 6, 2007 - 2:21pm

The current version number should be 0.59, not 0.5.9.

Is there any way to get PuTTY Portable to understand that, if the USB drive
is write-protected, I don't want anything written on it, and it shouldn't
bother to ask? It works quite well, except for that.

Thanks.

PuTTY: Private key selection

Submitted by miketigerwoods on March 5, 2007 - 4:32pm

I used to use local installs of Putty with a private key on my USB drive. Now that this was released I'd like to move it all to my USB drive.

However, when saving the session, I have to select the location for my private key: H:\foo.ppk. If I plug my drive into another computer the drive letter may change.

PuTTY: Thank you!

Submitted by KlfJoat on March 5, 2007 - 12:01pm

I want to thank John for creating a PortableApp for PuTTY!

When I donated money to PortableApps (which I encourage all users of this wonderful service to do), John emailed me back personally. He thanked me for my donation, and asked if there was any particular improvement or app I would like to see. My only request was a Portable version of PuTTY.

Writing security code is difficult, and previous attempts to make PuTTY portable (in particular, portaPuTTY) modify the source. This makes me nervous, as I am not a programmer and I worry about what else may be modified.

Merge PuTTY Portable with portaPuTTY?

Submitted by GrumpySmurf on March 4, 2007 - 10:01pm

I've been using portaPuTTY for all my portable PuTTY needs on my flash drive, as it does not store configuration and session information in the registry.

Is there any chance that portaPuTTY could be merged with PuTTY Portable, so configuration information is not written to the registry, but is stored in files on the flash drive?
