Audacity 2.3.1 doesn't use Portable .cfg file

Submitted by jathalls on March 22, 2019 - 1:20pm

I just loaded and installed Audacity 2.3.1 using the ...paf.exe file (rather than the .zip file from the Audacity download site which was available for 2.3.0) and find that it does not use the .cfg file in a PortableSettings folder. There is another PortableSettings folder in the Data folder but that doesn't appear to be used either.

VLC Updating & Default App in Windows 10

Submitted by BPaul_H on March 15, 2019 - 6:20pm

I have VLC Portable 3.0.4 on my updated Windows 10 Pro computer. Two issues:

1) Cannot assign VLC Portable as a default application for the various file types it uses (I've tried all ways).
2) When VLC gives a message to upgrade, unlike Firefox & Thunderbird, VLC "_INSTALLS_" on my machine (in "C:\Program Files(x86)\..."), so I am unable to upgrade.

Audacity 2.3.0 does not run on Windows XP

Submitted by Swwright on October 15, 2018 - 3:19pm

Please remove "Windows XP" from the System Requirements line on the Audacity app page. Audacity 2.3.0 does not run on Windows XP.

Audacity 2.1.3 was the last version that supported Windows XP, according to the Audacity site. In all later versions, Windows XP is "not officially supported". However, up until a couple months ago, Audacity did run on my XP box. Today was the first time I tried to run Audacity since the release of 2.3.0 on the PortableApps site. It does not run anymore on XP.

Mixxx Version 2.1.4

Submitted by Stamimail on September 27, 2018 - 2:57am

Beat Detection feature is missing.
I can't see any Beat Analyzer in Preference, so I can't choose one.

Win7 x64

Edit:
I think I found the problem.
The MixxxPortable folder was located in a path that contained Hebrew charaters.
I moved the MixxxPortable folder to the root folder (D:\) and everything work is working as expected.
It should work no matter where I place the MixxxPortable folder.

cdex PORTABLE for dummies

Submitted by alfware on September 23, 2018 - 4:43am

Hallo and wellcome I am new at this forum.
I am really sad about the "CDExPortable_2.07_online.paf.exe " should make me a CD EX program for my windows 7 / 64.
I used that program before and I know I simply unpacked it from a ZIP archive so how I even understand "portable".
But dont know from where I got the old ZIP.
I searched the whole internet - all direct me to the cd ex homepage or provide that ...paf.exe.
Ok through thats not what I understand with "portable", I download it - different sources, the md5-sum is ok.
