Think i found a bug...

Hi,

I'm trying to make a portable version of this game and it uses a HKCU registry key. So i set it up with [RegistryKeys] and it works fine, the .reg gets saved and its fine.
However, the second time the app is run, the settings (which are stored in said registry key), are all messed up.
I investigated the issue and found that the PAL Launcher saves the .reg wrong.

Below are the registry key i got with regedit, by running the game without PAL and the file the Launcher saved. Note the difference

Inkscape Portable currently does not recognize font handling as provided by the PortableApps.com Platform.

This will be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, do the following to handle it:

Save a copy of X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\App\Inkscape\etc\fonts\conf.d\51-local.conf as X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\Data\01-portableapps.conf. Following this, add the line X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts immediately after <fontconfig>, with X being replaced with your drive letter.

What could be clearing Firefox Cache?

Submitted by sundare on August 20, 2017 - 3:12am

I'm accessing a remote desktop Windows server. I have installed Firefox Portable. When I login to the site I reach two-factor authentication. I've authenticated it manually and ticked the box 'Don't ask for codes on this device'.

Each time I relaunch Firefox it works without having to reauthenticate, but each time I close the remote connection and reconnect, the Firefox cache appears to have cleared and I have to go through 2 factor authentication again.

Sorry if I post in wrong forum page.

I need help for [FileWriteN]. I'm working on a app based on old version of XAMPP and I need to edit about 45 files to make it portable. At this time I found that I must have 4 [FileWriteN] for every file, which will about 180 total entries (the last will be [FileWrite180]). So is there any elegant way to do this? Also i'm not sure is that the proper way, but I found that this work at this time. This is an example for one of the files:
