I'm customizing the Firefox Portable edition, downloaded from Portable Apps, and as a part of the process I want to replace the splash screen. I already replaced the image file named FirefoxPortable.jpg inside the FirefoxPortable > Other > Source folder. Also, I edited the FirefoxPortable.ini not to show the splash screen (for test purposes) and copied that same splash screen image file named as splash.jpg to another folders too. The result: it keeps showing the original PortableApps' splash screen.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it or just to replace it? I think that image file might be cached somewhere.
If anybody found this problem before, I'd be glad to hear how you fixed it.
You will need to move the ini file to the root of the application directory.
FirefoxPortable.ini should be in the same directory as the FirefoxPortable.exe and the data, app, and Other folders.
this is specified the the ini file
# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt
# This INI file is an example only and is not used unless it is placed as described in the included readme.txt
as well as the readme.txt file
FIREFOXPORTABLE.INI CONFIGURATION
=================================
The Firefox Portable Launcher will look for an ini file called
FirefoxPortable.ini
within its directory. If you are happy with the default options, it is not necessary,
though. There is an example INI included with this package to get you started within
the Other\Source directory. Note that it will not work from this location as it must
be placed in the same directory as FirefoxPortable.exe.

I'm trying to implement a file explorer that will display a list of remote files(stored on another network server). And I use QFileIconProvider.icon(QFileInfo) to get the file icon.
The QFileInfo is constructed from a single filename(no path information):
for example: QFileInfo fi("test.jpg");
and that works on both Windows and Linux(I tested it on a Ubuntu machine), but it doesn't work on the macOS. On macOS, I always get the warning
Path given to -[NSWorkspace iconForFile:] is not a full path.
I have checked the solution here: Qt 4.8 - QFileIconProvider, Getting icon for non-existent file (based on extension), but it's for the Windows platform.
I was able to make it work if I created a temporary file on my working directory with the same remote filename. But the temporary needs to be kept. If I deleted the temporary file after calling QFileIconProvider::Icon, I will get the warning above when the QTableView tries to display the QIcon in the UI.
Is there any working solution for my case?
Thanks all.
Since there is no "correctly" solution, I just make a workaround:
Create a temporary file for each file extension, and keep them here, only delete these temporary files when you ensure you don't need them anymore. (I choose to delete them before my app quit.
At least, it works for me.
Thanks!
I've built the Chromium browser on my Windows from its source code (Github) by following this documentation. After doing this successfully, I've a chrome.exe file which is able to launch the browser (see screenshot).
The next thing I want to implement is to change the logo and name of Chromium (say, MyBrowser) everywhere on the browser. I'm stuck at this step. Is there any way to achieve this by modifying the code or replacing the icon?
You will have to make lots of changes. Before replacing these files, please make sure the files that you are replacing with matches the resolution and format too.
If you want to change the logo of Chromium then replace these files with yours

Then replace this icon file:
For Windows:
src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/win/chromium.ico
For macOS:
src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/mac/app.icns
To change the name of the browser and messages displayed in Chromium, open and modify these files
src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/BRANDING
src/chrome/app/generated_resources.grd
src/chrome/app/chromium_strings.grd
You should replace Chromium or Chrome references from the above files with your brand
I would like to specify that images of a certain type (for example, .png) open by default in a program I've written when the file is contained in a certain directory. I've seen by searching (Change Default Program for a specific folder) that this is not possible on Windows 7 or 8.
I am saving these images in this directory myself, so I have some leeway with how I name the files. For example, I could change the filename a bit... perhaps to be example.myprog.png or something similar. Is there a way to set it up so files that match this filename pattern get opened, while other .pngs (in other directories) still open in the default viewer?
I don't really want to name these PNG images example.myprog (i.e., fully change the extension), because when the user is browsing the directory in Windows Explorer, I would like the thumbnail images to still show up. Also, users will be eventually transferring these images to their own machines, where they'll want to use standard image viewers to look at them.
If this is not possible, does anyone have another suggestion for how to tackle this problem?
As you are mentioning that files should be opened in a program that you have written, try to change the code of your program to read files from the specific folder. So, by opening your program from anywhere in your pc, you should be able to open files from specified folder.
If you've ever saved a a full webpage you'll notice that it creates the .htm file and a folder that contains all the icons and scripts for the page.
If you move the .htm file to a new location, the folder that came with it moves to the same location, and the behavior is the same if you move the folder, the .htm file will move with it.
How can I do that with any old file/folder combination? Can this be manipulated?
EDIT: Programmatically (through CMD)
Is there a command that binds files to other files etc.?
This is a feature of the shell called Connected Files. It is specifically implemented for web pages; it is not generic or extensible as far as I know.
It doesn't even seem that useful to me as it only works when using the shell mechanisms (SHFileOperation and friends); if plain old CopyFile/MoveFile are used then all the files need to be handled individually.
This is only under windows env.
As I know windows os identifies associated application of a particular file by file extension.
Like wise each file (binary) starting with corresponding symbols ("starting symbols"). For an example .JPG starts with ÿØÿà. Let say I open this .JPG file in a Hex editor or a Text editor and then I change that starting symbols into another file type. for an example I can change ÿØÿà to .Eߣ (.mkv). So when I double click on the .JPG the Windows Photo Viewer says there are some errors or similar message. So I need to get some information about the application that tries to open that kind of a file. If I can, I need to open that file using the application that associated with "starting symbols".
Briefly when I open .JPG I need to open a default video player .mkv files. But It may not work for this example. Because I changed only the "starting symbols" of my .JPG.
Please give me any idea to do this.
Thanks!
When you encrypt the file, give it a new extension. e.g. Picture.jpg becomes Picture.encrypted-jpg. You then register as the handler for encrypted-jpg, decrypt the file, then launch the normal jpg handler.
When the shell is asked to perform a verb on a file, the shell does not use the contents of the file to determine which app to pass it to. The file extension is what determines how the file will be treated.
You wish to use the contents of the file to influence which app processes a shell verb. In order to do so you would need to create a launcher app that reads the file header and then decides which app to pass the file on to. You would assign your launcher app as the handler app for all file extensions that you were interested in.
Although you could do this, it would be much easier just to set the file extension appropriately.
The proper way to do this sort of thing is to replace the files with reparse points.
The downside is that this involves writing a file system filter driver, i.e., an operating system extension, which is a whole level of trouble above and beyond ordinary application programming. (Since Windows already does file encryption, I doubt it would be worth the effort.)
