How to configure portable browser? #2

Open rolltidehero opened 2 years ago

rolltidehero commented 2 years ago

Here is the shortcut link for a webapp created with Vivaldi Portable:

"D:\!---OneDrive\OneDrive -My University\.Portable\Vivaldi.Snapshot\Application\vivaldi_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=ialofafaalhhbfnpgjnjphdjdloeoand

I created a symlink to Vivaldi_proxy.exe to C:\ root.

Maybe I need to put it in AppData\Local\Vivaldi?

Hello,

Are you sure "D:!---OneDrive" is a correct Windows path ?

"!" in windows path name doesn't seems to be "classical" (while "!" is still a valid char for a path)

I installed vivaldi standalone to be sure how it behave.

So I suppose you selected "create shortcut" from a web site in vivaldi. This is not how this extension works (while you could perhaps use it to starts that kind of links also, but it's not the most usefull way to use it).

You just configure "BarLauncher-WebApp" to use vivaldi as your web app launcher, and then, it will use any web site url to create a web app.

In your case, what you need to enter (based on what you pasted) is:

wap config "D:\!---OneDrive\OneDrive -My University\.Portable\Vivaldi.Snapshot\Application\vivaldi.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app="${0}"

It will configure vivaldi as you web app launcher.

Then when you want to add a new site, you just enter its URL like this:

wap add https://maps.google.com/ maps location google

It will then add into BarLauncher-WebApp the url "https://maps.google.com" with the keywords maps, location and google.
