Sunbird 0.8 with Provider 0.4 works, syncing with Google Calendar

Submitted by pwright2 on April 17, 2008 - 9:02am

I was never able to get Sb 0.7 to sync but 0.8 works fine. Just give it the iCal address for the Google calendar.

I don't have any luck getting Lightning 0.8 to sync, though. It doesn't even offer me a place to point it to Google. Maybe I've missed something?

AbiWord: open doc from command line

Submitted by bosully on April 13, 2008 - 7:35pm

E.G., AbiwordPortable.exe to-do.txt

using Vista SP1 with OneCare antivirus
AbiwordPortable.exe v2.4.6 on an old CD still opens and loads to-do.txt
AbiwordPortable.exe v2.6.2 will open without loading to-do.txt
Abiword.exe v2.6.2 also will open without loading to-do.txt

What did I overlook? (I tried DOS, batch, autohotkey.)

AbiWord: Why does only installing English install multilingual AWT?

Submitted by sylikc on April 7, 2008 - 8:09pm

Hi, I was wondering why the AbiWordPortable release 2.6.2 for an English only install has template files (AWT) that are in other languages?

I'm not a very big AbiWord user so I don't know if it's safe to remove those or should they be included, but there's a bunch of template files in

\PortableApps\AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\templates

Sumatra PDF: Text Selecting?

Submitted by heartbt on April 7, 2008 - 5:55pm

Long time reader, first time post. With that in mind, I'm not sure if this is a support question, bug (tho I'm pretty sure it's not) or a feature request. Either way I think it should go here.

I cannot select text from a PDF for a cut or copy and paste operation. This occurs in PDF's that I have made, and others from web. If this is normal, then this is a feature request. If this is not, then what is going on here? This would be a tremendous feature, for at least me.

Thanks to all the forum for helpful, informative, and sometimes entertaining reading.

[Closed] AbiWord: AbiCollab.Profile file left behind

Submitted by sum1 on April 7, 2008 - 1:12am

Note: This is only a problem if you add the new collaboration plug-in to AbiWord Portable.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install the collaboration plug-in (AbiCollab.dll) from the tools package available at http://www.abisource.com/download/
- Run AbiWordPortable.exe
- File > Quit
- Notice the %HOMEPATH%\AbiSuite\AbiCollab.Profile file left behind

Abiword.exe found a problem and must close...

Something like like that is the message I receive when I click on the second item of the tools menu (in Spanish: Establecer Idioma, I don't know in the English one). I don't know if this is a bug of the app itself or a portable issue only. It happens both on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4. Or maybe my download was corrupted?.
Otherwise the app works fine. Thanks you very much for your work in Portable Apps.

AbiWord: Grammar

Submitted by clemente21 on April 3, 2008 - 1:36am

Hi, I am attending community college and sometime I use the Microsoft Office to check out my grammar. I was hoping AbiWord comes with grammar checking when I would use it anywhere. Any idea how I have it in AbiWord or how soon anyone can make it happen? Thank you.
