Many OpenSource applications are actually portable. You just need to copy their installation to your USB key and take care to SUBST you USB drive letter to some fixed letter e.g. Z:/ before launching the Portable Apps shell. If some trouble remains most of the time you can cope with them adding the USB key the missing dlls and launching the app thru a .bat command file that takes care to assign the DOS variables TMP HOME PATH etc to some folder under Z:/

Upgrade needed for GoldenDict otherwise it is useless

Submitted by liar666 on June 13, 2018 - 8:39am

Hi,

The current version of GoldenDict distributed with PortableApps (1.0.1) does not work out-of-the-box.

When accessing Wiki* websites, it shows error :
"Query error: XML parse error: unexpected end of file at 1,1"

Work around is to switch to httpS versions of the websites:

Stellarium Screenshot Folder

Submitted by david_omp on December 28, 2017 - 3:16pm

I might have queried this before without resolution.
Within the app (installed on drive D:\Portableapps) if I chose a specific folder for screenshots, say D:\Temp, Stellarium always reverts to creating a folder "Documents" with subfolder "Pictures" on the root of D:

Might there be a resolution please?

Thanks, David.
