Sunbird: Where are data stored?

Submitted by Francisco Torres on July 5, 2014 - 4:26pm

The program works fairly well, but I tried to move it to another computer by copying all the program directories and once there I had the disagreable surprise that it was empty, no data, no information, was shown and I lost all the information.

What did I made wrong, which file should I have taken with me to the new computer?

[Fixed] Stickies won't open on my computer

Submitted by Liz on June 26, 2014 - 11:29pm

My computer was being really weird so I decided to restart and didn't shut Stickies down first. Now it won't open. When I click on the icon in the Platform, StickiesPortable.exe shows up in Task Manager and then disappears again.

I've tried installing a new copy of Stickies and that also won't run. I copied the entire original folder to another computer and tried it there; it works fine.

why does SumatraPDF 2.2.1 have two .exe files running_why two executables in program folder?

Submitted by christina_a on May 1, 2013 - 10:57am

Downloaded SumatraPDFportable_2.2.1.paf.exe from here & ran the extractor / "installer." It creates 2 executable files for Sumatra - in different sub folders.

One in top folder is SumatraPDFportable.exe.
The other in sub folder "\SumatraPDFPortable\App\sumatrapdf\" is named SumatraPDF.exe. Why two .exe files?

Also, when start Sumatra, both of these.exe files (exact names above) are shown in task mgr. Why two files?
Thanks.

Minor Bug in AbiWordPortable.ini (AbiWord 2.8.6 Rev 2)

In the current package (AbiWord Portable 2.8.6 Rev 2), AbiWordPortable.ini contains:

[AbiWordPortable]
AbiWordDirectory=App\AbiSuite2\AbiWord\bin
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
SettingsFile=AbiWord.profile
AbiWordExecutable=abiword.exe
...

If you (like me) install and just go about copying AbiWordPortable.ini to the "top" (for instance, to change it into running from a CD/DVD - which btw AbiWord doesn't need):

\PortableApps\AbiWordPortable\

AbiWord will stop launching! Sad

This is because AbiWordPortable.ini references (in line #2) the base executable incorrectly.
