Fixed DefaultData and Portable Passwords, new versions of Chrome.

It takes FOREVER for me just to update the Chrome versions. I need to make some scripts or something for next time.

I’m experimenting with Chrome SxS mode which disables the “default browser” feature (so, ideal for GCP) and uses some different registry keys I have to hook. Strangely if I don’t hook the non-Chrome-SxS keys too, Chrome breaks, so I have to hook them all. Oh well.

[Edit: Fixed a missing file in Stable and Canary.]

I also built a version for Chrome Canary itself (which is what Chrome SxS mode was made for) so you can try Google Chrome Portable with a bleeding edge build. Won’t help with my irregular update schedule I’m afraid, lol.

I also made another Chrome extension for fun, check it out.  I got a lot accomplished this weekend, so back to One Number work for me.  Maybe I can get a new build out soon, I might just push out what I have as 1.5 without any updates to services (supported websites) before working on new and updated services for 2.0.

]]> http://www.mzzt.net/2010/09/11/new-chrome-portable-new-chrome-extension/feed/ 8 I need to post more. http://www.mzzt.net/2010/07/21/i-need-to-post-more/ http://www.mzzt.net/2010/07/21/i-need-to-post-more/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:13:06 +0000 Dan Bugglin http://www.mzzt.net/2010/07/21/i-need-to-post-more/ I got ScribeFire for Chrome so hopefully I can remember post more often on mah blag.  I’ve been too tired from programming with my job to really work on One Number as much as I’d want.  I do have free time but I usually just feel like playing Team Fortress 2. :)

I have done most of the framework for the core.  Most recently I added desktop notifications… they only show counts though.  Maybe I can eventually have services actually read summaries of unread items (currently all services could do this easily except my Google Reader class) and show them in notifications.  But that won’t be for the next version.

Next I need to work on audio notifications (a user-defined audio file to play when you get new messages), a few bug fixes, and then I can move on to new services like Twitter, Buzz, Google Calender, and maybe more.

Also a nice guy named Joris Van Hecke sent me a French translation.  I’ll have to have him update it with new strings for the next release, but this means French users will be able to install the “Seul Numéro”* extension! :)

* – Actually he left the name “One Number” but I like the way Google Translate makes it sound! :)

But right now here’s what I’ve been working on:

  • One Number is moving along, I have made a new framework that allows for much greater control over enabled/disabled services.  Just have to add a few features and a few new services and the next version will be done.  I may work on this some this weekend.
  • New version of Google Chrome Portable to bump version numbers of the downloaded Google Chrome. (Links below)
  • I found a bunch of my apps don’t work properly on 64-bit machines, I hacked together a quick fix for a couple but AppCompactor still crashes randomly when you try to compact more than one item (help in tracking this down would be welcome).  For a workaround right now you can try using this tool to force 32-bit mode on any of my apps that are crashing in 64-bit.  For EasyScreenshot.net you can just disable PrintScreen emulation to work around it.

Now for GCP downloads:

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

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

Download links:

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! :)

Google Chrome Portable Changelog:

  • Updated Dev to 4.0.266.0 and Beta to 4.0.249.30. Google Chrome Extension gallery is live!
  • Installer now shows the version of Chrome being downloaded.
  • Updated the sample INI with some new notes.
  • msvcr100.dll beta 2 is no longer required by the NSIS plugin. 200kb has been shaved off the launcher.
  • Changes to Portable Passwords to improve security and prevent possible vulnerabilities. If you were previously using Portable Passwords you will need to import your passwords to Chrome before updating, see the sample INI for notes on how to keep your saved passwords.
  • Fixed bug in NSIS plugin where memory was freed twice (oops).
  • Added EncryptPortablePasswords switch to INI, so you can choose to store saved passwords in plaintext. This may be useful if you already use an encryption solution such as TrueCrupt to protect your PortableApps and have no need for additional protection. This is also removes the need for a master password.
  • Installer window no longer shows. DialogEx is used instead for the master password prompt.
  • Tidied up some things in the launcher code (all language strings are in the appropriate NSH now).
  • Updated to PA.c Installer 1.0.1.

One Number Changelog:

  • Hopefully fixed Google App Domain support for GMail, added for GWave. Still “Not tested” quality, please give feedback.
  • Already read messages will no longer be shown in Google Voice preview.
  • GMail and Google Voice options to check for unread messages in all folders/labels, not just the Inbox.
  • You can now hide individual services’ unread counts from the main toolbar button.
  • Fixed bug where services could stop updating.

Take a look.

Bonus for reading more:  My TODO list:

- Google Apps Domain for Wave: https://wave.google..com/a/<yourdomain.com>/
- Check official GVoice Notifier extension to see how it behaves and compare with mine.
- Option to check all messages, not just inbox? (GMail, GVoice, GWave)
- 27487 – XHR never finishes on 401.  Doesn’t seem possible to fix, it acts like it’s still loading until it times out.
- 27637 – no favicon for my option page

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.
