AbiWord: Associating itself with .abw?

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on February 15, 2006 - 6:43pm

Is there any way to get Portable AbiWord to stop automatically associating itself with .abw and .zabw files? I keep deleting the association, but it comes back every time I launch AbiWord. I don't particularly like the idea of having files associated with a transient application--especially since the drive letter of the USB drive may change over time, even on the same computer.

AbiWord: DefaultSaveFormat=".rtf" not working

Submitted by albator on February 2, 2006 - 7:04pm

Hi, I wanted to apply a default format saving options to portable abiwords. I have been informed to use the following trick:
//
You can go edit your
AbiWord.Profile file and add the
following line to the _custom_ scheme

DefaultSaveFormat=".rtf"

where .rtf is the
common extension of the format you want.
//

I did, but every time I lauch portable abiwords, the abiword.profile file seem to be restored ? May you help me getting this tweak to work ? I suggest to include the info in the next readme if it possible. Indeed, many people would like to set the default save format.

I just want to say how pleased I am with PortableAbiWord. It runs great off my computer and my USB drive. I recently added alot of the optional plugins from the website (mostly for the OpenDocument plugin), and they work seamlessly as well. Thanks alot!

AbiWord: Change Spell Check Language

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 1, 2006 - 4:21am

Hi,

Just downloaded and copied portable abiword on to my thumb drive.

Unfortunatly the computer I'm using is Chinese and I don't speak Chinese at all. I've managed to change the interface language to Englsih. I've also download the british dictionary and put that in the correct place so that I can run the UK spell checker but when ever I load up abiword I have to change the spell check language to EN-GB from zh-CN and even then it keeps reverting to zh-CN. Any idea how I can change this permantly ?

Otherwise portable abiword is great. Thanks a lot

Sunbird: Verbatim Store n Go

Any idea on how to get it on the U3 Launchpad of this device? I followed the instructions and it works fine by navigating to the directory and running the app but doesn't appear on the Launchpad. The 'Add Programs' of the launchpad wants a *.up3 file to install it.
