Update reports success, although it didn't succeed

Submitted by labrador on October 18, 2010 - 8:17pm

I'm using 2.0 beta 5 pre 2.

I was updating Apps, but the firewall blocked the download of additional parts (Skype, ...)

The update didn't succeed for these Apps, but at the end the message said it was successful.

Later on the Update functionality showed no need for updates although Skype was not usable any more.

regards

[Fixed] Improvements for PokerTH Portable

Submitted by Bart.S on October 14, 2010 - 6:01am

Due to lines 211-212 of PokerTHPortable.nsi (PokerTH Portable 0.8.1), the lines 219-282 are redundant and could be deleted (maybe more). If you don't think so, then there is a bug, because Avatar 7-9 won't be adjusted. Blum

Automatic language switching doesn't work for czech. Either blame the PokerTH devs for using cz as locale code or add a few extra lines to the launcher (like CheckForPortuguese).

The runtime switch "XPStyle on" is missing, don't know if necessary.

On upgrade not all *.dll files from previous version(s) will be removed.

"Undefined reference" error - need a pointer or two

I'm trying to finish the last of my work with Portable Passwords, and the code is all compiling nicely, but the darn thing keeps failing on the linking stage with the error "Undefined reference to 'SQLite::SQLite(wchar_t const*, int, wchar_t const*)'". I did some research and found that "Undefined reference" usually means the referenced library hasn't been linked, so I compiled the SQLite code as a static library and linked the resulting libSQLite.a file in Portable Passwords. I also included the directory the SQLite library is in as a linker search path, but still no joy.

Portable App Creation Step by Step [Request]

Submitted by Y3K on October 11, 2010 - 9:59pm

Hello everybody, I'm Y3K, a new member of this awesome community!

The reason of this message (and my signup) in this site is a special request (yes, I know it sounds... "Weird", but I do really think it's necessary).

I'm pretty new in the "PortableApps" world, I mean, not the new using them but I'm with the "PortableApps.com" method, and I'm really satisfied with it!

I always asked myself why no one could make a Portable App with everything in order and where it should go! Without leave ANY "path" behind its use, and finally you guys do it, and thanks for that.

TeamViewer 5.1.9290 -- suggested changes

Submitted by Moonbase on October 11, 2010 - 3:55am

TeamViewer v5.1.9290 is out since 2010-10-06.

May I again suggest some improvements to whoever currently develops the offical PA.c version?

My suggested changes for TeamViewer v5.1.91.92 still apply, plus the files

X:\PortableApps\TeamViewerPortable\App\teamviewer\Connections_incoming.txt
X:\PortableApps\TeamViewerPortable\App\teamviewer\Connections_outgoing.txt

need to be moved between "Data" and "App\teamviewer" folders upon program start and end, respectively. (Only if they exist, of course.)
