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

Submitted by Garry Allen on January 26, 2006 - 10:38am

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.

Hi John,

Sorry to trouble you, but, can you specify EXACTLY which files to copy from Portable AbiWord 2.4.1 (the last version) to the newest one (2.4.2).Is it just the user profile file?

I also have copied the abiword plugins tool, is this correct?

Does anything else need moving to keep my stuff?

Thanks,

Roger

Sunbird not starting

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 9, 2006 - 5:11am

Greetings all.
First of all thanks for making Portable Sunbird, I think it's an absolute gem of a piece of software. Now I can take my calendar everywhere in a format that's easy to use!

However, I have recently been having problems with Portable Sunbird. After launching the software the process starts, but no application windows are visible at all. I have tried leaving the process running for up to 15m but still nothing.

I am running Portable Sunbird and Portable Firefox from a 64Mb Intelligent Stick on a USB 2.0 port. The Firefox works fine every time, but Sunbird often refuses to open in this manner.
