Sunbird: synchronizing Sundbird on several computers

Submitted by jwrmansfield on September 11, 2008 - 11:58am

Hi,

I have Sundbird Portable and also regular Sundbird installed on other computers. I would like to sync them all together.

My question is this: What is the name of the file that holds the data (dates, months etc) that I can sync? I've tried looking for an .ics file but haven't found one yet.

Thank you in advance

James

Sumatra & Win9x

Submitted by shehaal on August 19, 2008 - 9:03am

Hi there,

The Sumatra PDF portable apps product page states that Win9x is supported, however the product website states otherwise (ref: http://forums.fofou.org/sumatrapdf/topic?id=4922&comments=1). Whilst it is possible to run the app, the menu bar doesn't display, and viewing multipage/non-standard sized pages can be difficult to navigate.

Are there any other PDF viewer options that are fully Win9x compatible (and portable)?

Thanks,
Stuart.

Sunbird: Autolaunch??

Submitted by darkstar on August 6, 2008 - 7:20pm

You know I really like the idea of Sunbird and its ability to remind me of upcoming tasks... Only thing is, I wish it would remind me to launch it every time I start up Portable Apps! Is there any way to have it automatically launch itself when I plug in my USB stick with the Portable Apps suite? That way I could rely on it to remind me of all the other important events I need to be reminded of...

adding Abiword plugins

Submitted by peter_g on July 23, 2008 - 4:34pm

The way adding plugins (and dictionaries ??) to Abiword 2.6.4

# Close AbiWord Portable
# Download a standard plugin installer from the AbiWord website
# Follow the prompts as normal. Uncheck the option to create an uninstaller when it comes up (otherwise an entry will be made in Add/Remove Programs on the local PC.....

does not work.

Because there is no option to create an uninstaller, which I can 'uncheck' ...... ?!?

AbiWord: Note: 2.6.4 tools installer adds .abicollab file extension to the registry

Submitted by sum1 on July 15, 2008 - 2:52pm

This is just a portability note for those interested in using the collaboration plug-in with AbiWord Portable. As of 2.6.4, the tools installer (exe) will add a .abicollab file extension to the registry if you choose to install AbiCollab. If you don't use the feature or don't mind the registry entries, you can ignore this :).

AbiWord: Changing default font (redux)

Submitted by JeffNeedle on June 21, 2008 - 2:44pm

Sheesh, I've tried everything. I want to change the default font to Arial, rather than Times Roman.

I open the normal template, I select the style and modify it. I save my changes to the template. I close abiword, restart it, and no arial.

Instead, I reopened the normal template document, set the font via the drop-down menu, saved the template. I close abiword, reopen it and it's still Times Roman.

Why the heck should this be so difficult? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
