Issue with Portable Version of LibreOffice Calc

Submitted by vint on December 15, 2024 - 6:21am

Dear Support Team,

I am a Windows 11 24H2 x64 user and would like to report an issue with your portable version of LibreOffice Calc. I have been using version 24.2.3.2, which I downloaded a while ago from your website, and recently I also downloaded version 24.8.2.

The file I work with in Calc has the following characteristics:

- 15 sheets
- 100,600 cells
- 4,608 pages
- 2 formula groups

The problem:
When I make changes to the file, the program crashes. The larger the changes, the higher the likelihood of a crash.

Firefox Portable ESR as a default browser

Submitted by Leonid N on November 4, 2024 - 6:21am

Hello.

Firefox Portable 115.17.0esr 64 bit, Windows 7 x64.

If you install the Firefox flag as a default browser...

Then, when opening the link, for example, from the postal program, the browser opens a new window, while it uses the default settings. I think he does not see his main profile.

Can I fix it?

Can you make so that a new tab opens, not a window?

Thanks.

Prevent PortableApp from Launching additional instances?? Functional setting question

Submitted by PortAppsLover73 on November 2, 2024 - 12:34pm

I have made a concerted effort to research this, and I am quite sure it can be done since i remember reading something about it a long time ago...

Basically i just need to know how i would restrict a 2nd or additional instance of the portableapp io developed to be run. I think i remember a setting somewhere... in the appinfo or launchsettings config files.... where if you set it.. it will prevent a 2nd instance of the app from running... that's what i need.

Any help appreciated.

Making PS.com UI Text Bigger

Is there a way to make the PA.com platform UI text bigger? I see there is an option to use large font under Options/General. This option is selected but grayed out.
Text is still looking small.

It would be very helpful if the UI text could be make bigger for ease of readability across the platform, specially on the menu/app launcher and update interface.

If there is a way please share how. If there is no way, please consider supporting this feature to help/bring ease to sight for those who need it.

Thank you.

Hey,

With Zotero 7, the ability to pin to taskbar create two icons. It was working perfectly with zotero 6.
So I guess I did something wrong?

Can you please help me on how to debug this? This made me realize that I didn't change the icon of the launcher, so I will update this asap.

Any opinion on removing extremely old and unsupported apps?

I was wondering how people felt about removing old apps that are no longer in development. Like having a rule that if an app hasn't been updated in 10 years it should be removed? Or is it just better let it stay until it stops working with new OS's?

For example, I just saw Abiword hasn't been updated in a decade and even their website is gone.
