Quick release of GCP for 4.0 stable and the latest dev build (beta build is the same as stable), grab it on the Projects page.

Nothing added here, busy with life, job, and my new computer. <3

Need to fix EasyScreenshot.NET, completely broken on Windows 7.

Where to start?  Early today I released OneNumber v1.2 to add a bunch of small requested features.  With those out of the way I plan to tackle the two remaining big ones next:

• Google Calendar support
• Allow for normal GMail and Google Apps GMail support at once

Second one won’t be as hard as it sounds, I did most of the work already.  Just need to redo the options page which will be most of the work.

I am quite elated to have the #24 most popular Google Chrome extension, edging out StumbleUpon and a really cool dev tool by Google!  Thanks!

Changelog after the break, and lots more releases, though none Google Chrome related… [Read more →]

Haven’t done a second one of these in far too long. [Read more →]

I got some good games this Christmas and birthday, so I want to recommend a few: [Read more →]

I’ve released new versions of Google Chrome Portable and my One Number extension for Google Chrome.

Download links:

• Google Chrome Portable Stable (3.0.195.33)
• Google Chrome Portable Beta (4.0.249.30)

Of note is that with this release, the Google Chrome Extension Gallery will now work with Beta and Dev builds.  Have fun, and be sure to try One Number! [Read more →]

The Google Chrome team just pushed a beta build with extensions enabled for Windows and Linux, and my extension is getting some attention!

Take a look.

Another new Google Chrome Portable!

I’ve been working on other stuff too, really!  Just trying to get the bugs that people report to me out of the way…

Biggest change is the Portable Passwords feature.  It’s opt-in so you’ll need to use the INI to enable it since it creates a bit of a hassle (you need to enter a master password on startup, to keep your passwords safe).

More details in help.html.

• Stable (3.0.195.33)
• Beta (4.0.223.16)
• Dev (4.0.249.11)

Minor update to fix up the source code for another official PortableApps.com release.  Other than updating Stable and Dev channel versions, no changes anyone will notice.

• Stable (3.0.195.33)
• Beta (4.0.223.16)
• Dev (4.0.245.0)

I made a load of changes this time around.

Downloads:

• Stable (3.0.195.32)
• Beta (4.0.223.16)
• Dev (4.0.237.0)

Oh yeah, I am now featured on PortableApps.com!  Hooray!

Here’s the main changes for this version:

• Updated Stable to 3.0.195.32, Beta to 4.0.223.16, Dev to 4.0.237.0
• Using new versions based on launcher versions rather than Google Chrome versions.
• Default locations for Beta and Dev builds changed to “GoogleChromePortableTest” and “GoogleChromePortableDev” to fit with PAF.
• Fixed bug where themes would stop working when GCP’s path or drive letter changed.
• Added support for PortableApps.com Menu language selection. Set UsePAMLanguage to false in the INI to use the user-selected language in Chrome instead.
• On request of PA community, did more agressive cleanup of registry keys and directories left behind after quitting.
• Backup and restore local Chrome’s unique identifier information used for collecting usage data.
• Updated launcher crash cleanup guide.

To celebrate the inclusion of Google Chrome Portable in the PortableApps.com official apps list… I’ve, um, started working on it again and fixed all reported bugs.

Downloads: Stable/Beta | Dev

Fixed a particularly nasty bug where RunLocally and CacheInTemp were always forced on.  Also themes now work properly between sessions.

[Edit: Updated Dev download with the latest Chrome Dev build released today.]

[Edit: Update downloads to remove nsexec which some av products falsely label as malware.]

[Edit: Updated Dev build to *.223.11 which fixes a crash bug with RSS feed extensions.]
