Sunbird: Relative path to ics-files?

Submitted by JanSchmitte on January 26, 2007 - 4:21pm

Hallo everybody,

first I wanna say THANK YOU!
Your effort in making all these portable applications must be enormous so I just wanna thank you... Wink

Now to my question / problem:

At the moment I'm setting up an event-sharing service for my association. For this I've decided to use Sunbird Portable.
Everything works great up to now. I managed to get the localised version (german) of Sunbird to be run by your starter. I created a default profile which can be distributed with SunbirdPortable.

Sunbird: Corrupt Data?

Submitted by Dunno on January 17, 2007 - 3:12am

I'm using Sunbird portable version 0.3
A few days ago SB worked just fine, untill today.

I opened SB and.. there were no events. So I checked up on the calenders. No calender was loaded. But, when i click "Export Calender" it shows me all of my calender files I normally use. I can't export the calenders though.

I have the minimize to tray extension, but after disable the extension it didn't bring my events back.

Errors:

Sunbird Portable Not Displaying

Submitted by Blue Winger on January 16, 2007 - 9:19pm

I have installed Sunbird Portable and it displays correctly using Windows 2000, however, when starting the program on a Windows XP machine the calendar does not display. I have un-installed Sunbird Portable and re-installed but this does not solve the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

error running sunbird with wine on ubuntu 6.06

Submitted by oldturtle on January 15, 2007 - 2:56pm

When attempting to run Sunbird under wine on ubuntu 6.06 I receive the following error message in a window entitled:

Microsoft visual c++ runtime library

runtime error
then a reference to the path to Sunbird
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
The other portable apps from the portable apps suite run well under wine.[I'm composing this while viewing the forum using firefox portable].

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Sunbird Error

Submitted by tutva on January 10, 2007 - 10:07pm

I didn't see anything similar to my problem, so hopefully i'm not double posting. Sunbird installed fine with the suite on my Swissbit Victorinox thumbdrive and launches fine. I can use it fine, but after about 10 min. i get the "sunbird.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" popup. It's pretty regular, right about 10 min. everytime.

Has anyone had this same prob. or have any ideas?

Thanks.

Lightning vs. Sunbird

The above link takes directly to a related topic that highlights a problem that I had with Sunbird. This problem contributed to my becoming aware of Lightning. I now have a couple of questions about Lightning.

First, is there any significance to the fact that the problems discussed in the aforementioned topic that occurred with Sunbird do not occur using Lightning?

Second, what are the primary differences between Lightning and Sunbird, as I notice a significant difference in the size of the two applications? (I understand that some of the difference can be attributed to the fact that one is a stand alone program whereas the other is merely an extension, but does this explain the entire difference in size or are there more substantive differences?)

Sunbird: Time Discrepency

Submitted by dallen on November 30, 2006 - 6:04pm

Time Discrepancy

During the creation of an “event,” using the latest version of Sunbird (PortableApps via the new suite which I love by the way), a serious issue occurs. The creation of an event requires that one name it, select the date of the occurrence, and associate it with start and end times. The times are problematic. For example, when I say I want to schedule my final exam for December 7, 2006 starting at 8:30 AM and ending the same day at 12:30 PM the event is created. However, on that date the calendar shows “Final Exam 9:30 AM.” When I place my cursor over the event it shows the times as 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
