"DisableSplashScreen" doesn't work in Sumatra PDF Portable . . .

Submitted by vauvert on March 22, 2007 - 6:56pm

Placed a copy of SumatraPDFPortable.ini in the folder containing SumatraPDFPortable.exe and changed the "DisableSplashScreen" parameter to "true".

Nonetheless, a splash screen does pops up whenever I start Sumatra Portable.

Am I missing something basic? Or is this a bug?

Please note, I have been using PortableApps without problem since June of 2005.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best Wishes,
vauvert.

Sumatra PDF: Crashing-rendering engine? can't open files from menu

Submitted by jessejazza on March 20, 2007 - 6:45pm

I have just tried this new app to our PortableApps portfolio.

I found that it couldn't open a file from the main menu. Once i had 'made it a default application for pdf' and opened a from windows explorer it was ok. However, it seems to have a limit with larger files, it crashed on one 27 pages and the rendering engine didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Sunbird: EVENT TIME DISPLAY OFF BY 1 HOUR

Submitted by GRUMPEE on March 8, 2007 - 7:20pm

I 've been using this Sunbird portable 0.3 for 2 weeks w/o problems until today. When I added a new event for example and typeed in the start/end times (ex. 1:00 pm/3:00 pm) the calender shows it as 12:00-2:00PM. Could it be when I transferred the suite (cut/paste) from one USB drive to another? Any ideas as to how to correct it short of removing the app and redownloading it?

Thanks in advance

AbiWord: Difficulty with Spell checker

Submitted by symiggy on February 13, 2007 - 10:43pm

I have rather peculiar problem which I really cannot understand.

When I run AbiWord on my regular home computer, the spell check works normally as I would expect it to.

But when I run AbiWord Portable from a USB thumb drive while plugged into my regular computer, I always get the message: "Could not load the dictionary for the English (New Zealand) [en-NZ] language" and following this dialogue box, no spell checking is possible.

Hello Guys,

I am totally new to Portable Apps, that is suggested by a friend of mine to look at for our objectives.

We are working on an application where our .NET Framework 2.0 application is supposed to produce a word document (on fly) in response to users selections/actions. We are using a VPS that is discouraging us to install Word on server because of performance consideration and suggested us to look at Abi Word.
