How can i update miranda myself correctly

Submitted by newbey on January 9, 2010 - 6:23am

Hi,

i wonder how i can update the portable version of miranda myself, correctly.
Because in the last weeks most the time there was a new portable miranda version available and a few days later a new version released on the official site so that the portable version was out of date again.

Is it enough to just copy the unpacked official miranda application data in the apps folder on the portable version and overwrite the old files ?

best regards

Can't log into Pidgin

Submitted by AnneKalo on January 5, 2010 - 8:47pm

Hi - I can't seem to log into pidgin portable. My understanding was that the USB version would work regardless if the company has it blocked or not since it is not installed onto the computer.

Do I have to change anything to make it work if the company has messaging blocked? I am not trying to slack or not work - I put in many hours at work and would like to have access to chat with my kids when necessary but unfortunately the company doesn't allow any time of messaging.

Please advise. Thanks.

Two BUGs in Pidgin Portable

Submitted by runapp on January 2, 2010 - 8:56am

 There is a bug on the setting file.
 I wanted to disable the splash screen, but when I added "DiDisableSplashScreen=true" to "Data\settings\PidginPortableSetting.ini" it doesn't work.
 Then I fount that the ini in "Source" is named "PidginPortable.ini"!
 Another bug is "PidginPortable.ini" must be put in "PidginPortable\" but "PidginPortable\Data\settings", where it was Automatically put in the latter directory.
 The two bugs took me 10 minutes, so I won't anyone else to spend time on it.
 Hope to fix soon.

PuTTY Tray and portaPuTTY

Submitted by lwc on December 16, 2009 - 6:15am
  1. The link you give for the former is outdated.
  2. The former optionally doesn't write to the registry, so you can use that (if you can detect it).
  3. Why don't you suggest to also drag and drop the latter (which not optionally doesn't write to the registry) into Putty Portable?

Thanks!
