I'm using LiberKey as a main portable apps provider, but would like also try to check PA solution. Some time ago when I've been trying it, it required to check manually for an update for every application, something that LiberKey does automatically. My question is, is I will try the Suite, not separate programs, will it check for updates for all programs from the Suite on start? 13:23:32 No 13:23:53 The updater is coming in the next release, but you'll still have to run it manually. 13:24:22 Are you aware that LiberKey is a regular law breaker? 13:24:42 Personally I don't like anything which goes connecting to the internet when it feels like it. I prefer to look for updates manually. 13:26:01 I guess that having an option for it to check for updates on startup or anything might be convenient for some people though....

21:53:28 Oh, it's an Eclipse Portable question? :D 21:53:36 it 21:54:04 it's a general question about setting up my own applications so that they will run in the menu. 21:54:11 Ah. 21:54:29 Please wait a couple seconds :D 21:54:34 pa_5394, but you also had an eclipse portable question, right? gluxon is the developer and he can help you with that 21:55:15 *** gluxon is now known as gluxon|gone 21:55:22 meclipse was just an example but my real qusetion is a general question about setting up any application to run in the menus 21:55:25 *** gluxon|gone is now known as gluxon 21:55:37 ? 21:55:52 pa_5394: you usually use a special launcher to handle the drive letter-related questions 21:56:14 eclipse portable does so automatically because of the special launcher developed by gluxon, for example 21:56:15 like find out on which drive we are, and launch the exe with --data-dir=X:\myapp\Data 21:56:19 Wait, did you download Eclipse from eclipse.org or the PortableApps.com edition? 21:57:02 I have several applications that will run standalone (Tomcat, MySql, and Eclipse) which I would like to setup to execute from the menus. 21:57:13 oh. 21:57:36 pa_5394: if they require special treatment in order to work on your flash drive, you need a launcher to handle those things for you 21:57:39 *** gluxon has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 21:57:46 none actually require any windows setup but need environment variables 21:58:03 you can set those with your launcher then :) 21:58:42 I'm a newbee to portaleapps...what would my laucher be? 21:58:58 pa_5394, general rule, such applications have the user data stored somewhere, and if there isn't a command line argument for that, the developers create a launcher that detects the custom folders, files, and regestry entries in which these programs store their data and make sure that, a) the portable data is saved on the pen, and b) the app doesn't interfere with local app's data 21:59:24 when I say pen, I mean flash drive or usb drive 21:59:26 *** gluxon (n=DSi@c-76-23-212-66.hsd1.ct.comcast.net) has joined #portableapps 21:59:31 so how would I create a launcher?

22:08:43 *** Gizmokid2005 is now known as Gizmokid2005|AFK 22:09:24 pa_5394, you can use a special scripting language, called autohotkey, to launch the .bat files. It can be compiled into a .exe, so it will show up in the menu 22:12:22 pa_5394, we noticed we are all out of sync and shooting answers here and there, so we will ask you, are you confused? 22:13:13 pa_5394, and if you are, how can we help you? 22:15:07 I created the txt file and dropped it in both the PortableApps directory and the PortableApps\mysql directory but it's not showing up when I refresh the menu 22:15:28 I called the file MySQLPortableApp.txt 22:15:33 .txt files will not show up, only .exe's 22:15:54 that is the whole point we have tried to make 22:16:23 I was following the info on the link above "To turn a regular application into portableapps format. all you have to do is create a new text document in its root folder and include the following..." 22:16:24 pa_5394, what TimClark means is that the guide may not be very well made, this is because the menu only accepts executable files 22:17:50 and it did specify an *.exe.

22:58:59 whether you are wrong or right doesn't matter, support hasn't ended so take it to -ot 22:59:23 you have been told before, multiple times, so consider this a last warning. 23:00:04 ? 23:00:42 take your discussion, whatever it may be, to -ot or -dev 23:00:46 *** pa_5394 has quit ("Page closed") 23:01:35 pa_5394 seems to have left, floor is open 23:01:35 vicc_portugal, esta � uma sala de suporte, pelo se queres discutir a implementa��o, leva essa discuss�o para #portableapps-ot ou #portableapps-dev, como o MaienM disse 23:02:03 sorry, i thought he was talking to other user 23:03:01 *** vicc_portugal has quit ("Page closed") 23:04:26 comments on support: 23:04:46 first of all, when we offer support, ONE person talks to our pa guy 23:04:49 in the start ptmb, sar3th and gluzon were talking to our pa_ guy, all coming with ideas and confusing him. 23:04:53 *** vicc_portugal (i=5facba23@gateway/web/freenode/x-wbpmirqlthimnrpx) has joined #portableapps 23:04:57 that is NOT how we do stuff. 23:05:14 second, all talk about support goes to -ot 23:05:37 so if anyone has any ideas, state them in -ot so the guy talking to the pa_ can use them 23:06:10 because of this, during support -ot is reserved for support discussion, and all -ot discussion is banned from it. 23:06:22 and third, NO PLAYING AROUND 23:06:59 that disrupts support which is unacceptable, and doing so may very well result into a (temp) ban or mute, so you are warned. 23:07:52 I am in agreement with MaienM on all of this and I think Gizmokid2005|AFK is as well 23:08:27 And as a norm, folks who have a released app should be the first to give support if possible 23:08:38 or someone who is working on an app 23:09:08 or someone who has delt with the problem or question at hand and KNOWS the solution 23:09:45 I agree with TimClark and MaienM, we made maybe the WORST support untill now 23:10:21 anything more MaienM? 23:10:33 no, that was all 23:10:53 ok, so my proposal is as to avoid such things happen again (sort of) 23:11:27 we should have a place where to teach people how to do support and save pre-made answers to commonly questioned things 23:12:12 so I think a special page or site should be made, specifically by moderators, developers, and those who usually give support, on how to properly give support and all of such things 23:12:45 something like a "PortableApps.com Support Training Page/Site" 23:12:57 iirc, JTH was thinking of making a wiki on the site, which would be perfect for this 23:13:03 I might be wrong though 23:13:34 I know i have bookmarks to the most common questions that i can deal with 23:14:01 which is general a good idea everyone should have handy if you are going to be participating in support 23:14:12 *** Ben|Adium (n=Bensawso@c-67-186-183-156.hsd1.vt.comcast.net) has joined #portableapps 23:14:23 i think it's a good idea, too 23:14:30 TimClark, that is great, but everyone should have those links available to them, and with some sort of canned response that explains all 23:14:50 that is why I think we should do something like that 23:15:05 ptmb: eveyone can have them , they just need to make them till we get a central spot 23:15:30 ptmb: i agree, but someone has to make and maintain it 23:15:37 TimClark, I agree 23:16:00 I could host a general page on my blog at zachthibeau.com until a proper page on portableapps.com has been made 23:16:17 ZachThibeau, I think something more than just a page is necessary 23:16:58 but the page can be a whiteboard until something can be done, or best of all something I've been meaning to do is setup a wiki on my site anyways 23:17:13 I think that works 23:17:31 this way once the time comes you could copy and paste the data into portableapps.com once JTH gets to the idea 23:18:36 oh, sar3th, sorry to bother you, but when you are available, can you write that article on how to show bat files on the menu on the development forums? 23:18:43 I'm setting up the wiki now, maybe we should get some volunteers to help contribute ideas to the wiki and generate a rough draft 23:19:06 ptmb: i'm working on it right now 23:19:08 i think we need a page for how to manage support 23:19:25 and then a page with a list linking to several canned responses 23:20:05 well in a nutshell that was the direction I was going for :P guess I was misunderstood 23:20:10 we could grab some discussions from the logs so we know some questions 23:20:14 thanks for clearing it up anyways 23:20:19 and agreed 23:20:34 anyways I'm uploading mediawiki files to my server now 23:20:54 *** vicc_portugal has quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 23:20:57 and we should define which kind of support we give (if we give info about 3rd pary apps and such...) 23:21:28 and tools which we know can lead to improper results, like bat2exe solutions.. 23:22:17 *** vicc_portugal (i=5facba23@gateway/web/freenode/x-dfgqnufvkttgbqzo) has joined #portableapps 23:22:23 I agree with sar3th 23:22:39 if you guys want to get started on collecting data I'll let you know once the wiki is setup and then all you would have to do is paste what you have 23:22:47 ok ZachThibeau 23:23:37
