AbiWord.exe was not found.

Submitted by gcasanova on August 12, 2006 - 9:07pm

I've upgraded to the newest version of AbiWord but now I can't open it. I'm always getting this error: "AbiWord.exe was not found. Please check your configuration."

I've tried checking my settins but I don't see anything wrong.

All I did before upgrading was delete the old AbiWord because it had an Apps folder instead of the new App folder in version 2.4.5. I thought both folders weren't needed.

Can anybody tell me what I should do?

AbiWord: John, suggestion...

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on August 11, 2006 - 11:18pm

If at all possible, could you please make the next version of AWP not store the custom dictionary in %userprofile%\AbiSuite, and if that's not possible, try to convince the AbiWord developers to stop storing it there. That's the only barrier to true portability with AbiWord: custom dictionary entries get left behind on the host computer. I get tired of re-adding the same words to the dictionary on every computer I use--especially since the built-in dictionary doesn't recognize a lot of valid words, like "undiagnosed".

Sunbird: A few issues: viewing tasks and copying dates

Submitted by Artifex75 on August 5, 2006 - 3:36pm

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make tasks show up on the calander like events do?
Also, how do you copy an event and have it retain the time? I've tried copying and pasting events over into days throughout the month and instead of keeping the time of the orignial event, it inserts the current time. I'd like to use it for my work schedule, which changes days from week to week, but always starts at the same time.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can lend me.

PortableSunbird ics file using relative paths

Submitted by twnty3svn on August 2, 2006 - 7:56am

Has anyone been able to successfully make a ics file visable in PortableSunbird 0.3 using the Remote WebDAV setting?

I use Rainleader on my USB drive, and currently with version 0.2 it works flawlessly, however with 0.3 it can't seem to get it to work.

My directory structure is R:\PortableAPPS\SunbirdPortable\... (with the rest of the structure in place, as per original).

I've tried file:///../../Data/profile/calendar.ics (where calendar.ics is my file residing in the profile directory), however everytime it says finish, it does not show up, and when i edit the calendar it now reads file:///Data/profile/calendar.ics

Must the calendar files live within the SunbirdPortable folder?

Submitted by rtrout on July 31, 2006 - 9:58pm

I've long had my calendar files stored separately to the calendar application, to make it easier to find when connecting it to different Sunbird/calendar variants. However with Sunbird Portable, it seems to insist that they live at:
SunbirdPortable\Data\profile\Calendar

All of my attempts to move them to a path outside of SunbirdPortable\ results in SunbirdPortable changing their locations back to the default (and ending in empty calendars).

Is this intended? Other versions of sunbird etc. let the calendar files be anywhere.

How to do an INDENT (not a TAB) inside AbiWord?

Submitted by chitown on July 8, 2006 - 7:46am

How do you do an INDENT inside AbiWord? By INDENT, I do not mean TAB, which is different. Permit me to labor the point about INDENT versus TAB because I have tried to get an answer off the AbiWord Internet site and forum, but without result.

To wit, the INDENT:

(indent)(indent)(indent)THIS IS AN INDENT, BECAUSE AS YOU TYPE THE TEXT AND
(indent)(indent)(indent)HOPE THE INDENT WILL WORK, THE HOPED-FOR COPY WILL
(indent)(indent)(indent)LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

To wit, the TAB:

(tab)(tab)(tab)ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN YOU DO THE SAME THING USING
TAB RATHER THAN INDENT, THE RESULTING TEXT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.
