Problem using with PortableApps

I'm trying to use this plugin with a PortableApps installation. The plugin worked fine on a local install, but not within PortableApps. I placed the unzipped folder into the plugins folder inside the PortableApps folder. The plugin was found in the Plugin Manager and "activated". When I tried to apply the plugin to the notation, a dialogue box popped up, but it remained gray (didn't ask what type of harmonica as in my local installation).

As I use MuseScore at my school, where I can't install locally, I would really like the plugin to work within PortableApps. Thanks for the great work.


Comments

EDIT: the below comment I wrote thinking the topic was the portable AppImages which are downloaded via https://bintray.com/musescore/nightlies-linux but after going to the link Thomas posted, I realize "PortableApps" is something completely different from portable "AppImage".

On my parabola (arch) linux x86-64 machine (recent install) I'm getting a crash when try to run any plugin after seeing a small window very briefly. Here is console output when running harmonica plugin:

Note I'm able to run harmonica plugin just fine when running latest git compile when executing regular (non-AppImage) build: ./MuseScore/build.release/mscore/mscore

I've made a seperate issue for my crash #101171: Crash when execute plugins that bring up window in Linux AppImage (i686 & x86-64, including CentOS 6.7)
