Just wanted to be sure the tech and API calls were working properly first. 19:47:44 looks nice 19:47:52 quick checking makes life easier as well :) 19:48:07 It won't be the default (since it doesn't work on XP, of course), but it will probably be an option 19:48:24 i just put win7 64bit on my laptop 19:48:26 JohnTHaller: does it use aero's color scheme then? 19:48:48 Yeah. It uses whatever the OS is set to glass-wise. 19:48:52 awesome :) 19:49:01 ooh 19:49:03 mine is a nice green (custom from what they have) so I was curious 19:49:04 We're doing a fake glass fallback for XP so you don't have to switch your theme back and forth. 19:49:07 black glass :) 19:49:09 w00t! 19:50:02 Glass is an option for custom themes. It starts with a full glass window. Then on that you add an alpha-PNG. And then the app icons and folders and options are put on top of it. So themers can build custom glass themes, too. :-) 19:50:17 We'll be including one patterned after our new menu look in the default install. 19:51:37 I think some people will dig it. Personally, I like the color mixing on our new default themes, though :-) 19:52:26 That took me like 3 hours to get it working properly with glass, no titlebar, explicit inclusion of the DLL (so it doesn't crash on XP/2000) and getting the form layouts working properly. 19:53:37 sounds good JohnTHaller 20:10:09 :D 20:10:53 hi JohnTHaller, progress with the updater ? 20:11:14 *** vf2nsr (~chatzilla@cpe-76-179-15-53.maine.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps 20:11:49 HI All I finally got my app to work appropriately so I just updated it in the forum 20:12:06 Was definitely a learning expiriance 20:21:12 vf2nsr: congratulations! 20:21:59 Thanks OliverK now I just need people to test it so I can see if it works as I have planneed it to, especially since I only have XP 20:22:14 Need people to check if it works in Vista nd 7 20:22:45 So now I can work on another idea I have 20:59:08 *** vf2nsr has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.2/20100316074819]) 20:59:34 *** vf2nsr (~chatzilla@cpe-76-179-15-53.maine.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps 21:20:39 *** ptmb (~PTMblogge@a83-132-129-116.cpe.netcabo.pt) has joined #portableapps 21:21:01 *** Space has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) 21:29:37 hi JohnTHaller, progress with the updater ? 21:30:00 Nothing to show publicly yet.

If you check out the text file in there, it has the information. "Place Aspell binaries here to use spellcheck. Usually, just copy in the contents of the C:\Program Files\Aspell directory" 21:52:08 yes I did 21:52:11 So you need to install it locally first with your selected language at the moment. And then copy that into Pidgin Portable. Then you can uninstall the local copu. 21:52:14 and it does not work 21:52:38 It should sho up as a plugin at that point in Tools - Plugins, where you can enable it. Does it not? 21:53:35 what do u mean by installing with my selected language. 21:53:41 Within PidginPortable\App\aspell, do you see a bin directory with the files in it? 21:53:48 yes 21:54:07 It should just work, then. The code to tell Pidgin it's there is in the launcher still. 21:54:22 Aspell only comes with English by default, you have to select to install additional languages. 21:54:35 restart? 21:54:45 I see.yes.No change 21:54:58 Did you install Aspell and a dictionary? 21:55:43 i even installed aspel and the dictionary into this dir \PidginPortable\App\aspell 21:55:52 still does not work 21:56:35 I tried first to copy the dirs and files from c:\program\files\aspel to this dir \PidginPortable\App\aspell 21:56:35 So, the PidginPortable\App\aspell directory has a bin directory in it. Inside that bin directory is aspell-15.dll. And then the aspell directory also has a data and dict folder in it? 21:56:38 did not work 21:57:10 they uninstalled aspell and tried to install in in the same dir \PidginPortable\App\aspell 21:57:15 no it does not work 21:57:46 maybe this file is important libgtkspell.dll 21:57:56 According to Pidgin's support page, it should. 21:58:03 It is. And should be in Pidgin itself. 21:58:54 yes i have this dll 21:59:05 The full details are on here: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#RunningWindowsPidginFromaUSBDrivePortableMode 21:59:32 aspel uses shared dlls.so i thought it is impossible to run in portable. 21:59:36 Our Pidgin Portable release is basically an encapsulated version of that. We also set the environment variables for it just to be sure. 21:59:51 so decided to install it.and still does not work 21:59:56 Last I checked it worked fine, but aspell is annoying to setup and would required 55 different installers if we did it per-language. 22:00:12 When used as indicated it is portable and requires no local install. At least it always did. 22:00:44 If it is failing now, I'd suggest double-checking what you have installed and creating a bug report in the forums so we can investgiate it more fully later. I can't now as I'm in the middle of coding the platform 2.0. 22:02:41 ok. 22:02:52 Do you have a forum acct already? 22:03:16 I'll try to rename aspell to Aspell 22:03:19 no i do not 22:03:38 Include as much info as you can (install location, what operating system you're on, etc). We have installs of Win2k, xp, vista and 7 to test on, so hopefully we can duplicate the issue and figure out what's going on. 22:04:04 xp sp3 is the os 22:04:22 portable instaled in root of c 22:04:54 Include it all the in bug report in the forum. We should be able to get it sorted within a couple days. Something like this is more than a simple config issue (that we normally handle in live chat). 22:04:56 wopy: on the forums please :) 22:05:53 Hi John just wanted to say many thanks for your responses on the forum, especially with the stuppid questions I have been asking. Finally resolved my issues and got the beta of my game posted ;) 22:06:14 vf2nsr: You're welcome. Good to hear. 22:06:37 wopy: Drop a note in here if you have any issues setting up your acct 22:06:40 Now that I have learned SO much I am workingon a nother project :) 22:07:08 JohnTHaller: may I ask you to make an portable thunderbird 3 and 2 version that can use yahoo free imap? 22:07:24 Both TB3 and TB2 can support any IMAP server you'd like 22:07:30 wopy: yup :) 22:07:33 no 22:07:36 i didn't know yahoo had imap 22:07:42 the free imap yahoo server 22:08:13 If it is a standard IMAP server, ANY mail client can work with it., 22:08:27 here is the info about it.this guy has made a trick and change the source and compiled pidgin to do the trick 22:08:41 it is not a standart imap . 22:08:53 yahoo free imap server requires special command 22:08:58 i'll give u a link 22:09:03 There's no point even having an IMAP server if it's not standard IMAP. That' 22:09:07 s kinda silly 22:09:51 Oh, they don't really make an IMAP server available publicly. So you have to hack a client to do it, violating Yahoo's EULA. 22:10:52 yeah . . . you have to buy pop3 access 22:12:19 well yes it is kind of hack 22:12:21 Ah found it. I don't think it requires a hack... at least from this video... : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EevdUhnW3Yc 22:12:39 They are actually using the TB portable client. 22:12:56 I tried to copied the thunderbird exe and replace it into portable thunderbird but it does not work this way 22:13:10 Bottom line, if it isn't baked into TB itself, we're not going to add it. 22:13:37
