AbiWordPortable 2.8.1 run problem

Submitted by bloatfoe on October 30, 2009 - 11:03am

Upon first install AW 2.8.1 on Win XP would not execute. I ran it (the actual program in \bin directory -- not the portable stub) through Dependency Walker and produced the error message:

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "<path>\app\abiword\bin\ABIWORD.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).

Sunbird: Password-protecting calendars?

Submitted by axemblack on October 14, 2009 - 4:25am

Hey all,

I love this app, it's very useful to be able to take my calendar around with me! However, I'm a bit concerned, if I was to lose my memory key and someone found it, they would have access to all my appointments! So is there any way to password-protect a calendar? There is something about master passwords in the options menu but I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help?

Sunbird: How about taking notes

Submitted by albar on September 24, 2009 - 11:16am

Hello, thanks a lot to developers of the Sunbird Portable. And i just wonder, is it possible to add a feature to sunbird to take notes. Because you know, we use the callender for appointments. And i think there is also a need for taking notes after the appointment takes place.

So i would be appreciated if it is possible.
Thanks in advance,
Baran.

AbiWord: Please update/fix installer

I installed the latest version of AbiWord Portable for the first time today and discovered it installs the help files for French and Polish even though I selected "English" during the installation. Additionally, a TON of system.profile-* files were installed in the AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\AbiWord directory for every language it supports. How about only installing the system-profile file that was selected during installation? (ex: system.profile-en)

Please update/fix the installer to only install the required files.

PDF to AbiWord to HTML

Submitted by sl23 on August 11, 2009 - 10:00am

Hi, this may be a strange request but I wish to add bookmarks to my ebooks and I think by converting from PDF to HTML the file becomes smaller??? Maybe this only happens in certain instances, I don't know, I'm no programmer.

Ultimately I'd like an exact copy of my PDF doc's edited to include bookmarks and images but as I can't find a free portable PDF editor I thought perhaps use HTML as an alternative.

Sumatra PDF: Ebook reading issue in continuous view.

Submitted by bigpallooka on July 29, 2009 - 1:19pm

When reading ebooks in this application if the visible area finishes part way through a line of text when you continue forward a full screen you start at the bottom half of that line. Is there anyway to cause forwarding to continue at a place equal to one line back? It is a real pain to have to scroll back one line each time.
Regards

Sumatra PDF: Resizing the browser pane

Submitted by PollieXmas on July 3, 2009 - 11:18am

Hi,

(Sorry, ignore this, restarting the app fixed the problem Beee )

When sumatra opened the same same doc I've been viewing normally before, the browser pane is suddenly so narrow you cannot read anything. It does not allow me to resize it either.

Anyone have a problem resizing the browser pane before? Is it a bug?
