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.

[Fixed] Foxit Reader Portable 5.1.4.0104 - Language selection does not work

In Foxit Reader Portable the language selection does not work.

The default language is English. In my case I select German from the menu and the language changes... until I close Foxit.
When I restart the software the default language appears again!

This will even happen when I start Foxit with admin rights (Windows 7 Ultimate).
