To run portable Chrome using chrome.exe in \App\Chrome-bin

By -
For portable Chrome, if you execute the \App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe directly, you may not able to start Chrome and having a file "debug.log" stating that Chrome "Could not get Chrome DLL version.".

To handle this issue, you need to do the following:
  • Copy the chrome.exe to \App\Chrome-bin\15.0.874.120\ (depends on the Chrome version) and use the chrome.exe in this path instead
  • Specify the --User-Data-Dir and --Enable-Extension parameters

For example:
  • chrome.exe --User-Data-Dir="D:\ChromePortable\Data\profile" --Enable-Extensions

Some more parameters for reference:
  • Private browsing mode:
      --incognito
  • Read local files (e.g. local XML, XSL, etc):
      --allow-file-access-from-files

Java encoding : UTF-8, Big5, x-MS950-HKSCS

By -
Suppose you got a file in Big5 containing some HKSCS characters (e.g. 深水埗, 赤鱲角, etc). When your environment (Ref: Charset.defaultCharset( ) ) is either UTF-8 / Big5, you will never get the things work. The proper encoding should be "x-MS950-HKSCS" This situation happens when I'm try the same pieces of code in Java console / Eclipse console and JSP @ Tomcat. While JSP works fine, but sucks in console mode. Finally I found the JSP is actually using encoding "x-MS950-HKSCS". To set environment charset in Eclipse: Right click on the file that you are going to execute (e.g. Testing.java), then "Properties" → "Run/Debug Settings" → "Common" → "Encoding". Type "x-MS950-HKSCS" in the field. What a pity!
