The cache comes along... (although that might not be the most desirable thing to do) 01:03:55 You could also just disable the cache completely if you're worrieda bout disk activity 01:04:05 it's not stored on the local machines for obvious reasons 01:04:31 ff portable permits to move "everything" to the temp for use with a live cd or read-only use 01:04:42 yes, it does. 01:04:46 but then you lose all changes when you leave 01:04:50 exactly 01:05:07 i'm trying to speed up ff portable 01:05:18 stuck with usb 1 ports 01:05:24 Wow 01:05:27 old pc I take it? 01:05:45 ya, public access 01:06:00 Alcasar: you can set RunLocally=True in the ini for Firefox 01:06:23 i know but then you lose everything when you leave 01:06:29 yes... 01:06:32 Alcasar: RunLocally=True actually helps keep your Firefox safe from malware, esp. on public computers 01:06:35 first thing i looked at 01:06:38 so unless you recode the launcher, you won't find a fix. 01:06:51 because the temp copy of FF gets deleted after you close it, any malware you collect gets deleted too 01:07:17 Alcasar: you aren't going to find an easy way to do what you want...you just aren't. 01:07:31 not unless you rewrite the launcher 01:07:37 but even that would be a monster-sized job 01:07:45 because if you were to move the cache to the local machine, and wanted it on your drive when you left, it would have to copy it all back upon close, which, on a slow drive or USB1.1 ports, would take quite a while 01:07:48 no need to recode if i can modify the config or one of prefs.js or user.js 01:08:22 maybe that would work... hmm.... you could recode the launcher to change the cache location in prefs.js or user.js, I suppose 01:08:55 but it would be an awful job 01:09:00 I don't want to cache back when i leave, but i do want any bookmarks, addons or anything else i might have changed 01:09:28 then just set FF to "Clear my private data on exit" and check the "Cache" box 01:09:38 the cache is just the surfing temp dir 01:09:52 Alcasar: so why don't you do what I originally said, and just disable cache completely? 01:10:21 disabling the cache can make page load times slower, though, so you're going to have to trade something 01:10:26 no cache, no speed, all is on the ram and take a guess as to the ram size of the old computers 01:10:53 "Clear my private data on exit", then check the "Cache" box 01:10:59 FF uses the cache, destroys it on exit 01:11:06 computerfreaker: you're missing the point 01:11:20 leaving cache enabled defeats the purpose he wants to do...he wants to speed up ff. 01:11:29 and leaving cache enabled will still keep the writes on the USB drive 01:11:32 which will slow it down. 01:11:40 if you DISABLE cache completely, that issue is gone 01:11:41 oh, I hadn't known that was what he was trying to do... 01:11:43 I see 01:11:54 and unless you are visiting the same site quite frequently, having the cache enabled won't do much. 01:11:56 Gizmokid2005: unless the cache is not on the key 01:12:15 right Alcasar, but why would keeping it help you if you are going to forget about it when you are done? 01:12:36 in the same session, the cache is pretty useless like I said, unless you frequently visit the same site in the same session 01:12:47 Alcasar: maybe copy your profile to temp? That's the only (feasible) thing I can think of anymore 01:12:59 i do keep visiting the same sites some times 01:13:10 Alcasar: right, but unless it's a lot, you won't notice much difference 01:13:15 unless you are on a very slow connection 01:13:18 really? 01:13:36 yes 01:13:43 mmm ... 01:13:45 what all do you expect to be cached? 01:13:50 typically it's just some images and stylesheets 01:14:02 so just disable the cache in Firefox and your issue is solved. 01:14:06 well images can be big some times 01:14:36 they can be, but unless it's a slow connection and you HAVE to see the SAME image multiple times, you won't notice a thing. 01:14:58 right i guess 01:15:27 so if i disable the ram cache and the disk cache it should go faster? 01:15:36 the RAM cache doesn't matter, but the disk cache will 01:15:42 there'll be less reads/writes to the drive, so that'll help 01:15:54 and depending on the RAM on the machine, that might help too 01:15:54 the rame cache slows down the whole computer 01:16:07 yeah, then disable that as well 01:16:21 k thanks 01:16:39 you're welcome 01:16:45 any ideas when version 2.0 of the platform might be out? 01:16:50 Alcasar: not a clue. 01:16:52 someday :) 01:16:55 that's always a safe answer 01:17:02 "it'll be out when it's done" 01:17:19 *** kaeos has quit () 01:17:21 ya, not like windows 01:18:36 *** Alcasar has quit ("Page closed") 01:20:35 *** gluxon has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 01:21:33 *** computerfreaker has quit ("Goodnight everyone!") 01:23:03 *** ptmb has quit ("Bye everybody") 01:23:40 *** ZachHudock (n=Miranda@cpe-173-88-250-76.neo.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps 01:24:05 hi guys 01:31:22 *** Res2216firestar (i=Sam@wikipedia/Res2216firestar) has joined #portableapps 01:35:09 *** ZachHudock has quit ("Miranda IM!

I am not a techy, and tried to download the portable apps suite to my new Samsung netbook. I think I made a big mistake. I. I downloaded to the c drive, did not add to start menu, and not can't access them unless aI run a search on the files. How can I get the start menu to feature the applicatins, andrun the apps directly? 23:45:55 pa_9799: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom. Ask your question and someone should be able to help you shortly. If you still don't get an answer, try posting on the forums: http://portableapps.com/forums 23:49:32 pa_9799: the platform is meant to be used from a portable device such as an USB drive. It will not add itself to the start menu, this is on purpose since it does not tie itself to the system it runs on in any way. You can of course manually create a shortcut in the start menu if you wish to. To do so, right-click the StartPortableapps.exe and select Copy As -> Shortcut. Then drag this shortcut to the start menu, into the folder where you 23:49:32 want it. 23:52:22 Thanks -- but I can't even open my c: drive -- the computer will not let me, so I can't click on any of the file names. I'm not even sure I can delete them, . Do you know how I can delete them? then I can start over, and down load the suite to a USB drive. 23:53:47 you can open the C: drive by going to Start, then to Run, and then typing in "C:" (without the ""s) and then pressing enter 23:58:31 Yay! I found them. I was able to click on the Start Portable Apps logo,and the Portable Apps start menu came up! That is actually what I want to be able to access. Is there a way that I can move the whole suite and start menu to another folder, not on the c: drive , so I don't have to go through the Run, c:, etc? 23:59:17 IT's like having everything on my Netbook, so I don't have to use up a USB port to run the apps! I like it even better than putting them on a USB drive. 23:59:40 actually, everything IS on my netbook, ha! 23:59:53 you can select all files (the files StartPortableapps.exe and autorun.ini, the folders PortableApps and Documents), press control + x to cut them, and then go to the place where you want to move them to 23:59:58 andf then press control + v
