(See "Other\Source\Readme.txt" for instructions). Configurable path to your library via "calibrePortable.ini".Launcher now backs up the default local library directory as the location has changed since 0.6.8.
#CALIBRE APP INSTALL#
Automatic language switching is now working (see install notes). I could have left the directory name as it was but wanted to keep it in sync with the app.
If you're using "calibrePortable.ini" in the calibrePortable main directory (to redirect the library) the installer will detect it & change the "calibreDirectory" entry to "App\Calibre2". I'm considering this "fair use" (same as MUI Cache, Prefetch etc.) As a program (MSVC) has been installed (& hopefully uninstalled!), you may find a couple of registry entries related to the MS Installer. As the MSVC installer creates a mess all of it's own, the launcher cleans up after it. If not, you'll be asked to install it &, on exit, it'll be uninstalled. The launcher will check to see if it's on the local system. The redist is included in this package (which is *not* an online installer). calibre 0.6.21 requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. #CALIBRE APP PORTABLE#
If MSVC is not on the system & you aren't logged in as admin (ie: don't have the rights to install it), calibre Portable will warn you & then quit gracefully.
There is now a 'usertype check' in the launcher. #CALIBRE APP CODE#
The code that creates the settings & library directories has been reworked & both are now configurable on first run. If you're upgrading from 0.6.8 Dev Test 1, a clean install is now required. I have dropped the Data directory restructuring code from the installer. If you haven't upgraded from calibre Portable 0.6.16 yet, please read the notes for 0.6.21 as they apply to all new releases until further notice. Added Albanian, Basque & Turkish language support. If you're upgrading & use "calibrePortable.ini" to redirect the library, make sure the "calibreDirectory" entry = "App\calibre". Added check for MSVC SP1, although if neither are found, the original (pre SP1) version will still be installed. calibre Portable will remove any files leftover in the root directory of your system drive from a MSVC installation. Added Malayan language support to launcher & installer. Added Lithuanian & Serbian language support. Added Indonesian, Thai & Vietnamese language support. Added new calibre icon (& appicon_128.png). Added CheckForPlatformSplashDisable (not tested yet). Added support for the library being on another drive (see help.html). I couldn't get anything to appear in there but it's backed up anyway. Added backup of "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KovidsBrain" (created by going to 'Preferences/Advanced/Tweaks'). Microsoft VC90 CRT now included with calibre. Library directory now configured through the GUI. Regshot tested clean with calibre 0.8.59. fontconfig is now saved to Data\settings to alleviate this situation when running multiple times from the same system. Upgrades will write correct version to appinfo.ini. #CALIBRE APP UPDATE#
Help file updated with new update method. calibre adds a new folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\calibre-cache). As it's out of date almost as soon as I've uploaded it, package is converted to 'launcher only'.
