[Fixed] Blender leaves behind extensions and cache

Submitted by Raimund58 on December 21, 2023 - 11:09am

I just saw that you don't make use of this feature.
Maybe you don't even know about it. I at least didn't know about it till today.

TLDR: Create a new empty folder called "config" in the Blender Path to have all config stuff next to the binary. (color management, addons, settings)

FreeCAD Black Screen workaround

Submitted by kr4z33 on November 14, 2023 - 3:31pm

Got a window filled with black when attempting to start freeCAD's portable app (v. 0.21.1).

Symptoms are described here:
https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=36087&start=40

As discussed in the FreeCAD forum, renaming FreeCAD's bin/opengl32sw.dll to opengl32.dll fixed the issue. The Path to the file is something like ...\PortableApps\FreeCADPortable\App\FreeCAD\bin

Hope that helps, thanks!

XnVIew license

Submitted by filobus on September 25, 2023 - 12:23pm

Hallo,
I found that XnView program is described as freeware, but it is free for private and educational use only:
"XnView is provided as FREEWARE (NO Adware, NO Spyware) for private or educational use (including non-profit organizations).
If you enjoy using XnView, Don't hesitate to help the developer with a small donation."

Perhaps description should be updated.

Thank you,

PaintDotNetPortable_5.0.9 no digital certification

Submitted by Hirrsson on August 21, 2023 - 2:21am

Hi

I wanted to install PaintDotNetPortable_5.0.9.paf but have problem because microsoft defender is constantly blocking this exe.
I belive that it's because missing digital signature.

Can you please add a digital siganture to this exe?

(other .paf.exe works like a charm: e.g. Thunderbird, NotePadPlus - all have digital sigantures)

thx

Hello, I am wondering if Canva can be made portable.
They do offer a Canva Free and a Canva Pro for 119.99
If possible, portable app can me made with the same features as Canva Free.

Unsure about license but I do know they offer a Canva free and a Canva Pro for $119.99

ShareX didn't work

Submitted by PortableGood on April 6, 2023 - 8:37pm

I gave ShareX a try via the PAP on a Win7 box, and it didn't work. Nothing happened upon launching the app.

I'm not sure if it's because the app isn't compatible with Win7 or there is an issue. If it's the former, probably a good idea to improve the UX; if it's the latter, well, then this is a bug report. Smile
