I thought the portable one used to say "Firefox Portable" at the top of the window. Now, I sometimes think my portable one is running (and I bookmark things) only to find it's the Firefox running off the C drive (computer shared by others). When I check "About Mozilla Firefox", I see no indication that it's the portable one running. 22:20:53 kiwikay, that is because the Mozilla Corporation doesn't let PortableApps.com package Mozilla Firefox Portable unless it has no changes whatsoever besides the absolute essential ones 22:21:23 but, if you want, you can, by yourself, make some changes to Firefox Portable Edition so as to make it different 22:22:29 I recommend you install a Persona on your portable firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/personas/ 22:24:08 Thanks, I'll try that. 22:24:28 you're welcome, I hope I have helped 22:29:09 kiwikay: If you want to add "Portable" to the menubar, take a look at this addon -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/57/ 22:29:42 Might be useless in a couple of months, considerting Firefox 4 is remove the titlebar. 22:29:53 *title (not titlebar) 22:38:26 Next question... When I get a message asking me if I want to upgrade to the latest software (Firefox and other portable apps), can I just do it, or will that install the non-portable version? 22:39:44 you shouldn't, it is possible, but can cause problems 22:40:24 using firefox built in updating system will create duplicate entires in the add remove programs, and the portable launcher might not be prepared 22:41:38 the recomended is to install new versions from portableapps.com, and, as they are released rather quickly after the original version, and are prepared to deal with any changes on the original program 22:41:44 It's recommended to not update any apps on PA.c with their own updaters. Wait until there is an official PA.c update. 22:43:24 Is there some automated way to have PortableApps update my nearly 30 portable apps? Similar to the way you can Find Updates for Firefox addons? 22:44:08 The current beta has a built-in updater. 22:44:20 I shall provide you a link if you would like to try it out, one second. 22:44:42 http://portableapps.com/node/24258 22:44:56 I'm not sure I want something that may not be stable -- I'm not that technical. 22:45:13 That's your call, but I use it and I've has 0 problems. 22:45:16 had* 22:45:27 Scriptdaemon is referring to the PortableApps.com Platform, which is a menu to launch your PortableApps. The current beta version and the future versions will include a built in updater for your portable apps 22:45:52 If I do, what kinds of things (problems) should I keep an eye out for? 22:46:38 You can read the thread itself and any of its replies, as others may have found issues here and there. As far as I'm aware, however, there aren't any major issues. 22:46:45 Any idea when this feature will be out of beta testing? 22:47:34 As John T. Haller usually says: "It's done when its done." That is, there is no definitive release date 22:47:37 Have you used the built-in updater feature successfully? 22:47:57 "When it's done" is generally the answer to that question around here. Dates only put pressure on getting out releases instead of allowing developers to work on all the bugs, etc. 22:48:07 I have and it has worked perfectly. 22:49:19 *** awircser has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) 22:49:19 It sure would make PortableApps more user friendly! I'm wanting to get my kids set up with Portable Apps for their first computer experience (to try to save my computer from any damage they might do). 22:52:45 I know this isn't a portableapps question, but do you have a recommendation for the best software to keep my kids from accessing mature content?? 22:56:10 I don't know of any offhand, unfortunately. My best answer to that question is to try taking it to Google and see if you find anything useful. 22:56:19 Thanks ptmb and Scriptdaemon. Just looked at the beta -- I'm going to install it. Thanks for your time. Oh, and I've only been using my PA on windows computers. Can I plug it into a Mac and use it, or will none of my files be compatible? 22:56:42 umm 22:56:56 mac not so much unless you buy special software 22:57:04 then acian there is WINE 22:57:08 agian 22:57:16 No, PA.c only supports Windows. (Aside from Mir's suggestion.) 22:57:16 BUT 22:57:36 The programs do not work on Mac unless it already has installed certain specific programs, making it hard and rare to be able to use on Mac 22:58:05 like WINE or its cost version 22:58:09 yes 22:58:23 they sell WINE and not at your local store either :( 22:58:29 Thanks, for me that's a No on the Mac. Don't want to get too complicated. :-) 22:59:04 There's a Mac version of WINE, Mir? I thought it was only Linux (I've never used Mac, so I wouldn't know). 22:59:12 there is 22:59:13 Scriptdaemon, yes, there is 22:59:18 Ah, neat. 22:59:59 Scriptdaemon: they have a pay version too 23:00:01 http://www.codeweavers.com/ 23:00:10 thats the site that supports WINE 23:00:33 Mir, it is wortless to pay for a version of something you can get for free 23:00:39 (got the pun? :D ) 23:01:08 I thought CrossOver and Wine were from completely different developers? 23:01:24 Scriptdaemon, yes, but based on the same code, from WINE 23:01:33 Ah, I see. 23:01:38 CrossOver is an OpenSource payed version of wine 23:01:54 I don't see the purpose of that at all. 23:02:04 ptmb: no 23:02:07 its not 23:02:16 :P 23:02:19 Crossover has MS office 2010 support 23:02:22 WINE doesnt 23:02:33 Mir, Crossover has some differences from WINE 23:02:40 things trickle down from crossover 23:02:41 but the underlying code was based on WINE 23:02:47 indeed 23:02:49 BUT 23:02:59 you pay for support unlike wine 23:03:31 so you wont have people comming in here wineing about (pardon the pun) "I CANNOT GET MY PORTABLE APP RUNNING" 23:03:38 *** kiwikay has quit (Quit: Page closed) 23:03:48 anyway, here is a version of wine for free for MacOS that I found awhile ago http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ 23:03:54 it would be dealt with the codeweaver group 23:04:21 also codeweaver's crossover has better mac support 23:04:28 just to let you know ~_0 23:04:29 Mir, it woudln't be dealt in here anyway, we don't support PortableApps on any place other than Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 23:04:42 (and I don't own a Mac btw :P ) 23:04:50 "but i has windows on mai mac!" 23:05:08 i do 23:05:18 so nynernener 23:05:23 :P 23:05:24 lol 23:05:28 brb 23:30:10 back 23:34:27 off to play starcraft
