Sylpheed creates file outside of its folder, also possible cache issue

Submitted by PortableGood on January 13, 2020 - 11:49pm

Sylpheed creates the file 'recently-used.xbel' in ..\AppData\Local and does not delete the file when it is closed. I do not know what the consequences are of deleting that file. It's obviously a recently used list, but it might be very useful to not have to set up a new profile each time. I haven't had time to look into it in detail.

Also, within the Sylpheed application folder, it stores a bunch of IMAP cache data, which can be confidential. It does this even when the the user specifies to store the actual IMAP data on another drive.

Sylpheed and GnuPG / OpenPGP

Submitted by KarMau on January 9, 2020 - 8:23am

Is there a tutorial how to integrate GnuPG in Sylpheed portable?

What I tried:
Installation of Gpg4Win (perhaps a problem, because it is not Portable).

Edit the \App\AppInfo\Launcher\SylpheedPortable.ini, added

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
GnuPG=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\GnuPG

Create \Data\settings\GnuPG.reg with:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

When opening Chrome after 5 second, software_reporter_tool.exe start inside the tree of the app launcher. But when closing Chrome, software_reporter_tool.exe stay open and dosn't close with the other process from Chrome.exe etc. So it is still using C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Software Reporter Tool\.

FileZilla 3.46 affected by Trojan.GenericKD.42067748 [Solved]

Submitted by stefra2003 on November 28, 2019 - 3:11am

I'm trying to update FileZilla 3.45.01 to 3.46.0 but my antivirus Bitdefender is blocking it because of Trojan.GenericKD.42067748.
I tried two methods, but both automatic update from the PortableApps platform and downloding a new paf.exe file are blocked due to the same antivirus alert.

I hope you could verify and fix the issue.

Thank you

Launch options/switches for Opera browser

Submitted by Ron-In-Reno on November 1, 2019 - 11:54pm

Is there a way to alter the launch options from the PortableApps launch platform to add a switch at the end of the shortcut path? I need to be able to launch the browser in private mode every time. That requires the " --switch" at the end of the launch path in the shortcut. I need something like this:

"\PortableApps\OperaPortable\OperaPortable.exe" --private

Google Chrome 64bit wrong language with german

Submitted by iNsuRRecTiON on October 13, 2019 - 5:46am

Hi there,

why is the default browser language english, even if I install the german version of the portable Chrome 64bit app?

This should be changed.

If I install the german version, I want the german language.

Kind regards from Germany,

The message says "The downloaded copy of Google Chrome (64-bit Test) is not valid & can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."

It tries to download 2 "parts" that are 1629kb each. It fails after the second part.
