Do I give up on Slimjet?
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 4:43 pm
I've been using the portable versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit) of Slimjet since it's development and for some reason since version 11.x.x.x I've been unable to simply extract the contents of the updated portable version and copy it over the older version, like I'd always done in the past.
Issue #1 is that all of my bookmark icons disappear and I've tried many different ways to restore them, but nothing works. All the bookmarks are there, it's the favicons that are gone and all of the bookmarks are displaying the generic icon.
Issue #2 is that when I exit out of the browser, it continues running in the background and I have to use the task manager to kill it, or else I can't get back into it. I've given it a good 5 minutes to close, thinking that it's cleaning the history/cache/etc., but it's still running in the background.
I always make a backup copy of last working version (10.0.7.0) before upgrading, so that if the issues that I mentioned continue, I can resort back to the old version.
I'm running Win 7 Pro 64-bit on an Intel i7 with 16GB of Ram.
Please help! I've loved this browser since it came out, but I'm getting frustrated with trying to keep it updated.
P.S. I also run the portable versions of Google Chrome (and other Chrome-based browsers) and have no issues like I'm having with Slimjet.
P.S.S. 90% of the applications that I run are portable. I use portable applications so that if/when I upgrade my PC every few years, I just simply copy the Portable Apps folder to the new PC and I'm back in business.
