We Need A Mod 2 Disable 'Scold Pop Up' Nonsense Please =)

We Need A Mod 2 Disable 'Scold Pop Up' Nonsense Please Smile I notice 4 example the Portable Firefox 52 I am using doesn't launch the 'scold popup' if you "Didn't close it properly last time" krap. Please somebody write or find for us a thing we can drop into all the 'portableapps.com' programs to disable that garbage. It's TOTALLY lame & unprofessional & probably 1 of the main reasons this 'portableapps' stuff is not as popular as it could be. It is also TOTALLY unnecessary.

Include FullAppDir as a variable in PAL?

All,

While removing the $Bits variable setting code from Custom.nsh files, I discovered that the only remaining portion of Custom.nsh for many apps is the chunk setting %FullAppDir%.

I'm thinking of adding $FullAppDir by default, using ${AppName}64 and ${AppName} as the directory names referenced.

Move file and folder in the right 32/64 bit application folder

I try to portabilize an app developement in 32 & 64bit architecture.

The versions of program are stored in:
%PAL:AppDir%\program32
%PAL:AppDir%\program64

In %PAL:DataDir% there's a folder:
SETUP
and a file
program.ini.

Execute the right version of the program is simply:
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable64=program64\program.exe
ProgramExecutable=program\program.exe

My goal is move the folder SETUP and the program.ini file in the folder content the right 32/64 version of program.

Think i found a bug...

Hi,

I'm trying to make a portable version of this game and it uses a HKCU registry key. So i set it up with [RegistryKeys] and it works fine, the .reg gets saved and its fine.
However, the second time the app is run, the settings (which are stored in said registry key), are all messed up.
I investigated the issue and found that the PAL Launcher saves the .reg wrong.

Below are the registry key i got with regedit, by running the game without PAL and the file the Launcher saved. Note the difference

Inkscape Portable currently does not recognize font handling as provided by the PortableApps.com Platform.

This will be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, do the following to handle it:

Save a copy of X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\App\Inkscape\etc\fonts\conf.d\51-local.conf as X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\Data\01-portableapps.conf. Following this, add the line X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts immediately after <fontconfig>, with X being replaced with your drive letter.
