Re: * Foxit Reader V3.0
Is the new version 3.1 come back to write in registry?
Re: * Foxit Reader V3.0
That appears to be the case, Lupo. It now only writes settings to the registry . I tried putting the .ini file from Foxit 3.0 in the same directory, but it didn't save anything to it.
What it saves to the registry on first run follows. It seems to be setting itself as the default without asking permisson - there's nothing in the settings about setting it as default, either. Is that correct? I did this under Sandboxie, and I'm hesitant to do it outside Sandboxie to test.

Re: * Foxit Reader V3.0
So, bad news.. we will need a launcher again. What launcher we could use?
Re: * Foxit Reader V3.0
Someone know a portable version of the last release?
Re: Foxit Reader 3.1
Database updated
Re: Foxit Reader 3.1
Foxit 3.1 is no longer portable (unless you use a JPE launcher)! See this thread: http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... f=8&t=4054
The 3.0 releases save settings to both the registry and an .ini file, but the 3.1 releases only saves to the registry. Oddly, the changelog mentions the new .ini file for 3.0, but does not mention its demise with the 3.1 release.
The last 3.0 build (3.0.1817) is available from FileHippo here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_foxit/5804/
However, that's only the installer version. The 3.0 zip file can still be downloaded directly using this link: http://mirrors.foxitsoftware.com/pub/fo ... 30_enu.zip
I will update the database to use that as the download link.
If that link becomes unavailable, the license does allow redistribution without any restrictions about only distributing the installer version or requiring a full set of files to be included:
By the way, someone else reverted the database entry to 3.0 before I could!

So maybe TPFC could host the last 3.0 build in a zip file.7. REDISTRIBUTION: User can redistribute Foxit Reader under this agreement under the condition that User agrees not to redistribute Foxit Reader on mobile devices or embedded devices including cellular phones, PDA’s, and all other handheld devices.

Foxit Reader V3.1.3.1030
There is now a PortableApps-version of V3.1.3.1030 available
Download: http://portableapps.com/apps/office/fox ... r_portable
We should change the database to point to this version ... what do you think

Re: Foxit Reader 3.1
To remove the advertisement in Foxit Reader Portable's menu bar:
In Data > settings > FoxitReaderPortable.reg
Open FoxitReaderPortable.reg with notepad and change the entry "ShowAd"="1" to "ShowAd"="0".
In Data > settings > FoxitReaderPortable.reg
Open FoxitReaderPortable.reg with notepad and change the entry "ShowAd"="1" to "ShowAd"="0".

Re: Foxit Reader 3.1
Dot,you can also more easily click the View tab in the menu bar and check/uncheck "Advertisement"
Re: Foxit Reader 3.1
It's not the same thing. Your option made the advertisement reappear after every restart (and required two clicks every time) of the previous FoxitReaders.Dot,you can also more easily click the View tab in the menu bar and check/uncheck "Advertisement"
That latest FoxitReaderPortable no more has that option under "View". Editing that .reg file makes it disappear for good.
