Chrome Portable not portable anymore (after configuring any setting)

Submitted by buhwuh on February 25, 2017 - 12:08pm

After the initial run of Chrome Portable, once you configure any setting such as the startup page and close the browser, you can no longer move or rename the Chrome Portable folder without it crashing on startup. When it crashes, it shows a dark page background and a frowny face tab icon.

Full path of folders:
C:\Users\nick\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Crashpad\reports

In User Data i have file CrashpadMetrics-active.pma
In Crashpad i have 2 files metadata and settings.dat
Other folders is empty.

I use Version 56.0.2924.87 x64 for Windows.
I fully clear my old non-portable chrome before installing portable version.

After i close portable chrome these folders disappears.

[Fixed] Mumble installer creates weird directory

Submitted by mwayne on February 13, 2017 - 5:52am

The installer creates an "=App" folder and within a "mumble" folder in the base directory. I noticed this while installing Mumble via the PA.c Platform and merging it into my branch. I downloaded the package from Sourceforge directly, installed it and the same thing happens. So I checked the package but there is no such folder. AFAIR this isn't the first time this is happening. Is it just me or is something wrong with the installer?

Chrome portable with user data dir option

Submitted by kameleon on February 7, 2017 - 6:54pm

I am trying to get chrome portable to use a directory I have used with normal chrome using the --user-data-dir= switch. However the portable version doesn't pull the info. I have not tried doing a fresh one but do plan on that.

My end goal is to have multiple directories, one each for various profiles, and have them truly portable. I am guessing I will need relative links in the --user-data-dir= switch also. Is this possible with the portable version?

For instance:
GoogleChromePortable.exe --user-data-dir="..\ChromeProfiles\Profile1"
