14:48:49 <pa_5457> Can someone help me with seamonkey portable?
14:49:00 <JohnTHaller> what do you need pa_5457?
14:49:35 <pa_5457> When I launch the app I get the splash screen for a few seconds and then nothing..
14:50:21 <pa_5457> Task manager shows it closing too
14:50:35 <JohnTHaller> Fresh install or upgrade, where is it installed (full path), what OS, etc?
14:50:40 <pa_5457> windows 7 64-bit
14:51:57 <pa_5457> Fresh install, it was installed to 'C:\Users\[my user]\Desktop\my stuff\!portableapps\email client\
14:52:09 <pa_5457> then I moved it to the c: drive with noe effect
14:52:14 <pa_5457> *no
14:52:25 <JohnTHaller> It could be the ! in the path name
14:52:40 <JohnTHaller> Special characters like ! or $ can mess up some apps
14:53:09 <JohnTHaller> Try installing it fresh to C:\SeaMonkeyPortable just to ensure it's working on your machine (we can delete it after)
14:53:14 <pa_5457> I did try moving the folder to a simpler path, should i try reinstalling it there instead?
14:53:22 <pa_5457> ok
14:57:37 <pa_5457> interesting, the installer seems to have crashed this time, I'm going to kill the process and try again
14:58:58 <pa_5457> Well the installer finally closed normally, but i'm getting the same result
14:59:27 <JohnTHaller> What else is running on your machine? And is it a standard Windows 7 install or something with WinLite or similar?
15:00:46 <pa_5457> I have quite a bit of processes running in task manager.. I'll try closing some of them.
15:01:11 <JohnTHaller> I meant more things that could interfere. Antivirus antimalware firewall hacking tools, etc
15:02:03 <pa_5457> The windows install is basically a standard install but done with an image over a network
15:02:44 <JohnTHaller> Have you tried running seamonkey.exe directly to see if it works? It's like running a local install, so will create a profile in APPDATA but you can delete it after
15:03:44 <pa_5457> I do have sophos antivirus with microsoft forefront endpoint, that could be the issue, I'll try getting rid of one
15:04:19 <pa_5457> Running seamonkey.exe says I don't have permission
15:05:04 <pa_5457> I have to go, but thanks for your help!

15:06:19 <pa_5457> I'll check back later
15:06:26 <JohnTHaller> pa_5457: Yeah, it could be that it's set to block seamonkey.exe
15:06:31 <JohnTHaller> if it's a work or school computer

16:29:55 <pa_3849> hello
16:30:05 <pa_3849> http://portableapps.com/node/22447 I am trying to do this
16:30:16 <pa_3849> is there a new shortcut?
16:36:01 <pa_3849> Win+Alt+Space just opens the current window's "pop up window menu" aka just as if I am pressing Alt+Space w/o the win key

19:48:23 <pa_7009> hello, is there an easy way to get the portable apps menu to detect already installed portable apps?
19:48:36 <pa_7009> or is this a feature that is considered?
19:49:18 <JohnTHaller> The platform will detect all apps installed in the proper directories: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#addingotherapps
19:50:06 <JohnTHaller> Basically, everything goes in the PortableApps directory created by the platform installer. You can move your apps into it if they are somewhere else. All PA.c Format apps you install from the app store or via the Menu option will install to there as well.
19:50:46 <pa_7009> yeah, i have several apps installed previously, I'll try to move them in the dir
19:50:49 <pa_7009> thanks
19:51:59 <JohnTHaller> Sure thing. If they're portable, they'll have no issue being moved. Some apps from publishers aren't fully portable and may have some minor bits break if you move them.
19:59:24 <pa_7009> it worked ^_^
19:59:28 <JohnTHaller> COol :)
20:00:03 <pa_7009> now I'll have an easier time tracking down the updates
20:00:17 <pa_7009> thanks again. good luck!
20:00:23 <pa_7009> love your work
20:00:31 <JohnTHaller> Yup. Just be sure your PA.c Format apps stay in the right sub-directory
20:00:39 <JohnTHaller> aka FirefoxPortable, etc, and don't get renamed.
20:00:41 <JohnTHaller> You're welcome :)
20:00:50 <pa_7009> allright

20:05:46 <JohnTHaller> what do you need help with pa_7897?
20:06:03 <pa_7897> Checksum Control Portable
20:06:46 <JohnTHaller> What's your issue?
20:08:16 <pa_7897> when it run a dialog pops up : "the requested entry was not found" Section: language-Setup :indent ItemIndex
20:08:48 <pa_7897> OK or Retry - ok it dies, Retry it repeats
20:09:01 <JohnTHaller> It's a known issue, Gord is working on it: http://portableapps.com/node/34452
20:09:55 <pa_7897> Ah, ok I'll sit tight then
20:10:15 <JohnTHaller> Yeah. if he can't get to it, I'll likely update it myself later this week.
20:10:46 <JohnTHaller> Here's the previous version until then: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Checksum%20Control%20Portable/ChecksumControlPortable_2.1.paf.exe/download
20:10:50 <pa_7897> Thanks for the reply and info you guys are tops!

20:59:23 <ZachThibeau> hey John, how's things?
21:01:08 <JohnTHaller> hi ZachThibeau. Going ok. You?
21:02:09 <ZachThibeau> Just got back from visiting my younger sister in the hospital, she just lost her first baby, so today was to keep her company
21:02:29 <JohnTHaller> Sorry to hear. How is she doing?
21:03:40 <ZachThibeau> she's doing good at this moment, my parents are with her now and when she delivers she and her husband will be going to stay with them for a week to recover from the loss
21:05:18 <JohnTHaller> It's always difficult, but surprisingly common. Happened to my one of my sisters and my cousins as well.
21:08:56 <ZachThibeau> yeah, I found it a little difficult, but I've accepted the loss, I just hope she has a good rest though
21:09:59 <JohnTHaller> Was this her first pregnancy?
21:10:36 <ZachThibeau> yes it was
21:11:17 <JohnTHaller> That's when a miscarriage is most common and happened with all my family members. All went on to have healthy kids. But it will be difficult. And it is something that stays with you.
21:13:35 <ZachThibeau> this wasn't really a miscarriage as was a medical condition, my sister has severe food allergies and so some major proteins and stuff was missing from the baby's development, so it wasn't until last week when we found out anything wrong
21:14:13 <JohnTHaller> Ah, more complicated. Hopefully this will give the doctors more information for another pregnancy if they decide to try again.
21:14:25 <ZachThibeau> indeed
21:18:15 <ZachThibeau> so anyways I've just got home and doing some coding, working on PChat and finally got around to some ideas for chillplayer, and I mean I've been on the drawing board with this one
21:18:43 <JohnTHaller> Are you still planning on doing ChillPlayer? The domain is up for renewal and I'd meant to ask you.
21:19:09 <ZachThibeau> yes sir I am
21:22:11 <ZachThibeau> interface wise it's just going to be like foobar where it's just using native controls not skin support at least not right away but layout wise probably going to start as just primarily playlist with controls, considering video playback and with video I have options, either libvlc or just do the entire thing as a front for mplayer which would be kind of cheating, at least libvlc has exposable api I can hook into and just use audio f
21:22:11 <ZachThibeau> unctionality from that first and consider video much later
21:24:52 <JohnTHaller> cool.
21:25:16 <ZachThibeau> it's how songbird started before switching to gstreamer
21:37:48 <JohnTHaller> Be back later, all
