GnuCash Ver.5 and up - copying settings, especially reports

Submitted by mortq on December 14, 2023 - 4:17am

To copy the settings, particularly the reports you have already made, to GnuCash Portable, the instructions on the page at https://portableapps.com/support/gnucash_portable#local_profile haven't been updated for a while, and no longer work.
The new directory for the reports file (saved-reports-2.8, saved-reports-2.8-backup) and the other settings files, is at:
[drive]:\PortableApps\GnuCashPortable\Data\GNCDataHome

Possible to Enter Licence Data into PDF-XChange Editor Portable?

Submitted by Abraxian on November 24, 2023 - 4:11am

This program I new to me but I am very impressed with it. I am thinking of buying a licence for the fully installed Trial Version I currently have on my computer. However, I am wondering if it would be possible to enter the licence data into PDF-XChange Editor Portable? Will that unlock all functionality in the portable too?

Scribus document window opens off screen

Submitted by jrasicmark on November 9, 2023 - 8:02am

I'm using Scribus Portable on a thumb drive. The properties and align palettes are visible, but I can see the main document window opens on the far right, off the monitor screen.
I Googled ways of moving the window back using Windows shortcut keys, but they didn't work. I also tried using the various options for arranging windows using the Windows taskbar, but they only rearranged the windows that are already visible on screen.

Previous versions of PDF-Xchange Editor?

Submitted by WirlyWirly on October 4, 2023 - 7:08pm

Hello,

I'm trying to downgrade my version of PDF-XChange Editor, however I don't see a node for it on SourceForge; https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/

Specifically, I'm looking for v10.0.1.371, because that was the last version my premium license key supported; https://portableapps.com/news/2023-07-13--pdf-xchange-editor-portable-10...

GnuCash 5.4 not quitting cleanly

Submitted by paulvp on September 29, 2023 - 5:44pm

Hello
I've noticed since the update to v5.4 that GnuCash does not quit cleanly. That is, when I close the program there are processes that continue to run. This prevents the PortableApps platform from closing because I have 'Close Apps On Platform Exit' selected in the options. It also causes a problem in OneDrive which reports a 'sync error' on a GnuCash log file. I assume this is because the log file is being seen as still in use by one of the running processes.

[Fixed] Foxit Reader Missing sharing via email

Submitted by PortableFox on September 22, 2023 - 2:18am

Hello,
I installed the latest version of Foxit Reader (2023.2.0.21408). The Email option is missing in the Share menu, when in previous versions it was possible to share a document using an email client.
I use this option quite regularly, is it possible to install/set the plugin so that it can be used again?

Malwarebytes reports calibre portable as Ransomware

Submitted by bigpallooka on September 11, 2023 - 10:48pm

Thanks to the excellent advice from John T. Haller I was able to transfer my large calibre portable library into the portableapps version of calibre portable. Unfortunately, Malwarebytes is convinced that calibrePortable.exe is ransomware (Malware.Ransom.Agent.Generic) and keeps quarantining it. Can anyone explain this behaviour before I make an exception in Malwarebytes?
Regards
