Language Switching Problem (Option File/Java Locale)

Submitted by thesupremecommander on July 10, 2010 - 12:02pm

The main problem inhibiting me from submitting Freecol Portable as a Pre-Release right now, is the problem of language switching.

Here's an explanation:

Freecol, in order to determine language for launch, looks at its main option file, and launches based on that. If it's set to automatic or not set, it determines language based on the Java locale.

The problem with updating the language in the option file is that Freecol, when saving options, does not save options with newlines between each one. This makes [FileWriteN] useless.

How to install portableapps to a folder on c drive?

Submitted by kbhasi on July 9, 2010 - 4:31am

Basically, I've found some applications here that has helped me bypass my school's PC restrictions(obsolete software, web filters, etc).

I want to recommend these applications and Portable apps platform to my friends. I don't want them to download each package and install them by themselves, as they will think the steps are hard. So, I want to make a easy-to-install package, just like what the Portableapps team has did with the Suite.

But my only portable storage is my external HDD, and I don't want to overwrite the installation there.

Folder "DaleSoft Support\DaleSoft 2" in $APPDATA will not created and copied files back to Backup. I think the spaces are the problem...

Would be very happy, if someone can help me or give a suggestion, many thanks. Smile

Resume downloads of certain portable apps provision request

Submitted by vasa1 on July 5, 2010 - 12:43pm

Hi, I have limited experience of downloading portable apps: Google Chrome, OpenOffice.org, and Java JRE 20.

The impression I got is that there is no provision for resumption of a download in case the net connection drops, which is not too infrequent an occurrence especially for downloads of several MB.

Online installer help.

Hey everyone.

I have recently done an online installer like the one in the google chrome installer andd have got the [downloadfiles] section fairly well knocked out, however it downlads the setup file, and leaves it at that. I need it to install to the thumbdrive. The following is my installer.ini file:

[DownloadFiles]
DownloadURL=http://www.mapwindow.org/download.php?file_name=http://svn.mapwindow.org...
