As of recent releases, Google Chrome's settings are now locked to a given PC with a generated signature on the settings files. This affects the portable version as you move between PCs either via removable drive or via cloud drive. It also affects the local version if you move your profile as part of restoring a backup from one PC to another or upgrading to a new PC and copying your profile over.

The Enchant spellchecker is saving any unknown dictionary words that are added to the dictionary outside the portable directory. It's placing the added words inside the "Local Settings / AppData" directory for the current user, under the sub-directory "enchant".

I still plug into some XP machines.

Is there anyway that I can have FileZilla ver. 3.9.0.1 or 3.8.x (for my XPs) installed along side the newer FileZilla version that will no longer run on XP?

And if so, is there any way to disable the auto-update on the "XP" version so that it "stays" on my thumb drive?

Thanks!

To be absolutely clear I have no reason to think Filezilla Portable has been directly effected.

That said, starting with 3.9.0.5 Filezilla claims that updates to the next version can not be done automatically and directs users to download the installer from sourceforge... the installer for which is laden with malware and scamware which attempts to trick users into installing it.

Hello,

I am looking for a solution for a small boot-able image that provides putty or similar software. I would like to boot a small laptop off a thumb drive and only provide telnet software once booted to program routers and switches. Thank you in advance.

FileZillaPortable_3.9.0.2.paf.exe unpacks fine.

Then, upon execution of FileZillaPortable.exe, the splash screen appears as usual, but the GUI does not start. Nor is there any related process shown in the Windows Manager after the splash screen disappears.

Version 3.9.0.1 starts without problems.

Anyone else experiencing the problem?

Hello,

I just recently checked my updates and updated Filezilla from v. 3.8.x to the latest, 3.9.0.1. My preferences were to use it in my "default system language", i.e. French, and things worked correctly before the version update. I did the update through the semi-automatic menu option: Check for updates.

Got the following problem:

When I move the Iron folder from one place to an other all extensions get lost, although they are still in the copied folder. I even can't activate them in "Tools > Extensions". It only says: "Boo... You have no extensions :-("!!!

Can anybody reproduce this bug?

If I use the "Check for Updates..." under the Help menu in the program and then download and install the update, will it install the portable version? I'm thinking it will install the 'normal' version and the best way to update would be to download the portable version and copy it over the top of the old version but I want to verify this. Thanks!

I need to point the .purple directory to an encrypted volume (W) since pidgin sores plaintext logs and account passwords in that location.

Using the PURPLEHOME environment variable, I can confirm it is pointing to the correct location, however pidgin ignores it. See following screenshot:

Please fix this issue, and let me know if there is any kind of workaround I can use in the meantime to force pidgin to store its data in a different location, thanks.
