Gizmokid2005 said a while back that he didn't get the point of my topic. 00:03:06 It was mainly just a form-letter response from MPEG LA, wasn't it? It's information which is fairly readily available on their website, and just saying /why/ it can't be redistributed (patent licensing). That's right, isn't it? 00:03:31 *** MaienM is now known as MaienM|Sleep 00:04:05 pa_5740: I don't know, I didn't really look into it that much to be honest so I can't really judge that 00:04:29 ChrisMorgan: Well, there are some specifics that aren't spoken about on their sites that are mentioned in my thread. 00:05:14 ChrisMorgan: Of course, I might not have it set up in the best fashion, so I'm open to suggestions. 00:07:29 ChrisMorgan: Actually, to my knowledge, the info concerning MPEG-2, MPEG-4 & H.264 that I have posted isn't on the website. 00:07:54 ChrisMorgan: I'll check quick. 00:11:45 ChrisMorgan: I more or less breezed through it, but I didn't see anything like the details I posted. 00:12:50 ChrisMorgan: Can I PM you about something? 00:12:55 Sure 00:19:51 *** SeraphX3 (~seraph@68.185.241.5) has joined #portableapps 00:22:30 *** SeraphX3 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 00:22:38 *** sar3th is now known as sar3th|away 00:22:53 *** SeraphX2 (~Ceryph@68.185.241.5) has joined #portableapps 00:23:45 So, Windows7 doesn't like Autorun.inf.

To add items to the PortableApps.com Menu? 00:33:36 that sucks...i mean, in a way, it almost makes portable apps inconvenient 00:34:09 POrtable Apps needs to develop a Windows Service that you can optionally install 00:34:17 that does the same thing as this dude is trying to do 00:36:52 Actually, hmmmmm...mebbe i could do this......a portable app with a GUI that you install on your USB drive that allows you to customize how the Service behaves and installs/deletes the service. 00:37:17 SeraphX2: that's what that utility does. It launches on system startup, not as a service, though. There's no need for it to be a service, it doesn't need administrative privileges or anything like that. 00:39:13 yeah...but it's either running a GUI, or it's not...if it runs a GUI it's extra resources..if it's not...you can't have settings unless you edit a file manually. 00:39:33 it seems PA would make something like this standard though seeing Windows7 wants to be a pain 00:40:26 oh wait....he says "part of the next platform release" does that mean they are integrating this? 00:40:46 i mean, this post is from 2008 00:40:53 and i don't see that functionality in PA 00:41:13 That was something he was toying with at the time. I don't believe John's planning on having it in the next beta of 2.0, but maybe it'll go in at some point. 00:43:07 besides...i don't like "half-assed" programs...is that thing even fully complete? it's called a test...doesn't say anything is officially good or "bugless" 00:43:54 It's a pretty simple thing. 00:47:41 *** SeraphX2 has parted #portableapps (None) 00:49:31 *** sja5164 (~kvirc@c-67-163-195-41.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #portableapps 01:24:07 *** pa_5740 has quit (Quit: Page closed) 01:28:07 *** JohnTHaller (~JohnTHall@cpe-67-247-35-38.nyc.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps 01:28:10 hola 01:33:22 Hey JohnTHaller 01:33:41 How goes it ChrisMorgan? 01:34:00 Fine.

I don't know how I got it. I had a look in my registry and there was no HKCU\Local Settings. Don't know how I got it. 02:36:33 Maybe regfromapp is wacky. 02:36:47 possibly. Thats what I was using. 02:37:34 I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your help with my questions and learning how to convert applications. You have been a real help. 02:37:55 You're welcome :-) 02:38:16 And I asked a question a week or so ago about an online installer. I have figured it out (mostly) and it works like a charm. 02:38:28 I have most of it figured out. 02:39:42 *** OliverK|Away is now known as OliverK 02:40:50 JohnTHaller: How's the platform going? Have you finished it yet and are testing it? Or are you injecting the last of the code? 02:42:12 Beta 5 is coming along nicely. Dropping tomorrow with the new theming engine, portable fonts, updater and an app manager. Beta 6 will drop on the 20th with aero themes, categories and file associations. 02:42:33 o.o nice 02:43:18 awesome. Beta 6 so fast? I love you (not literally) but ur cool 02:43:34 what about the screenies with the file associations in them? 02:44:15 That's the options window. It's in there, just blank for now. It's a placeholder for translations basically :-) 02:44:41 The preview was 2.0 features, not all beta 5 features. Some beta 6. Some final. 02:44:51 mock ups? 02:45:52 sweet. It looks so awesome. I can't help but think if you were cahrging an initial fee for the right to use PA, you would be a very wealthy man. 02:45:52 No, that tab is actually there in the options window. It's just not connected to anything functional yet. Still working the bugs out. 02:46:28 I'm debating between including the category stuff in the context menus for translators. But I think some people may be annoyed that they don't work yet. 02:46:47 yeah 02:46:50 Hmm... Maybe I'll add a special translator switch in the INI that shows the non-functional features. 02:46:54 do it anyway :) 02:47:07 that's a good way, of course, it adds the complexity 02:47:33 Not really. They'll just be hidden and it'll check a single INI setting on launch to show them. It's like 3 lines of code. 02:48:04 shanet: John's had several opportunities of becoming very rich by selling out. Fortunately for us, he cares about the product more than the money :-) 02:48:26 yes. Very selfless. I envy him in this way 02:48:29 Yeah, I had one angel investor try to get me to go closed source and charge 20 or 30 bucks back 3 years gao 02:49:07 Well, not totally selfless. I think it'll still be self-suficient and support me. But I don't think profitable and open source/free/open are mutually exclusive. And I aim to prove that. 02:49:13 haha. You must get hammered with investors? 02:49:23 I get cold calls from VCs, yeah. 02:49:35 ... 02:50:27 I've always been interested in software dev. I always think piracy is a niusance, but its also a compliment in a way. 02:50:48 It means your software is so good people want to use it but cant afford it. 02:50:54 piracy is because developers have an over-inflated opionion of there software 02:51:07 I know. 02:51:24 But it tells a developer that they are doing something right. 02:51:38 yet they miss that they are doing osmething wrong 02:51:44 because people areresorting to law breaking to get their hands on your software 02:51:58 you are correct there 02:52:04 i've always been curious how many more millions more copies of office would sell itf was just 20 bucks 02:52:14 There are a lot of things wrapped up in piracy, not just price and not just developer egos. It's an odd interplay of the 'information wants to be free mindset' idealogues, the folks who like software but can't afford it, the folks who want to 'make a name' for themselves, etc. 02:52:21 but I also think there is only 1 way to stop piracy. 02:52:45 make it open source 02:52:46 Personally, I'm of the opinion of no DRM, fair pricing, and supporting your paid users well. 02:53:12 Not all software can work as open source, honestly. Eventually the business models may be found for the rest of it, though. 02:53:15 You see you had to pay for PA it would be pirated within a few hours of its upload. 02:53:54 Yes. It's just to make things open source means (usually) free. 02:54:00 True. But I'd have priced it fairly enough that most people would pay for it. 02:54:20 And then there is no point in making it free. If you want money and no piracy... 02:54:22 you get me? 02:54:41 indeed, there's more to it then just egos or price. But a driving force is linked to the price 02:54:50 I've debated doing a suggested donation when folks download. Or asking people to become supporters (and get a badge near their name on the site) 02:55:10 I ran across something called BumpTop. It has a free version with 2 features disabled. Fro 30 dollars you could get those two features. But it is worth it. 02:55:12 there are always users how will pirate software because they can or to tick other people off 02:55:36 exactly 02:55:49 I bought my most expensive software yet the other day, coincidentally. Delphi 2010. 02:56:34 Well I cant pay online - dont have paypal or anything (im 16) but I'm happy to work hard and put in my stuff\ 02:56:43 I want autocad 02:56:44 I don't think I've ever bought software, if you don't count a copy of Vista which came installed on this laptop... (and no longer is :P) 02:56:46 is it worth it? 02:56:50 $1,035 02:56:51 so bad 02:56:59 awesome 02:57:02 bah, autocad full version is like 10 times that :D 02:57:14 ChrisMorgan: Are you open source? 02:57:25 i've bought portals, that was 20 bucks well spent 02:57:26 Yeah, it's worth it. It lets the menu become fully Unicode, better PNG support, touch/gesture support, etc. 02:58:08 I came across this interesting thing the other day. Does anyone here have a nintendo wii? 02:58:13 Yup 02:58:56 Sweet.

Was gonna debut it in conjuntion with 2.0. 03:02:28 It's always a given that a donate button is usually in the about box, and people dont really mind 03:02:51 or the suite dowload button could have a donate button beside it? 03:04:08 Yeah, the About box could definitely do with a Donate button. 03:06:27 Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. 03:06:32 You can set up sourceforge with donate. 03:06:37 Or an entry...

But you'd probably wouldn't want to include to PAL due to the size of the plug-in 11:01:21 119 kb 11:02:02 No, one that big I wouldn't. Could be a compile-time thing in launcher.ini though. [Activate]:XML=true makes the plug-in be included, put in a strong note about it needing to generate the launcher again. 11:02:41 Or at the least something like "!define EnableXML" in Custom.nsh 11:02:53 Custom code is a good way to properly get it tested first, but having it available for use 11:03:36 Anyway, now I got to make a custom code to deal with the DefaultData :-( 11:05:45 Ah, PreSecondary should be the solution 11:07:05 ? 11:08:02 *** newbie|2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.0.0 Insomnia http://www.kvirc.net/) 11:13:20 Ok, my mistake, it should probably be PreExecPrimary, I haven't done this for a while 11:27:15 *** sar3th|away is now known as sar3th 11:27:17 These 2.1 release notes are becoming quite a document... :-) 11:30:03 So I can say for the Xml script :-( 11:30:32 i think you should encourage ppl to post their custom pal code to a special forum topic, so it can be reviewed easily and incorporated if necessary 11:31:16 by the way, good morning! today is releaseday! j/k 11:31:28 That's what I said, I'll put one up as soon as I'm finished with this script 11:33:41 sar3th: it's been Tuesday the 13th for over 21 and a half hours :P 11:33:43 Here 11:34:12 oh, i forgot; does that mean we are behind schedule? ;) 11:35:14 *** rmccue has quit (Quit: The general rule on about people on IRC seems to be "Attractive, single, mentally stable: choose two") 11:40:20 Not at all.

I dissabled Language and do a custom code. 11:50:31 What for? The DefaultData thing? 11:51:14 No no , I sorted that. SegmentInit is missing PAL:DataDir 11:51:28 variable 11:53:01 In SegmentPre I can make use of the PAL:DataDir variable 11:53:12 In the custom code? 11:53:18 Yes 11:53:59 I done ${DisableSegment} Language 11:53:59 , and copied/modified the language segment to CustomCode 11:56:01 * Gringoloco wonders, wouldn't it be better the custum code segment running on the end of each hook, instead of at the beginning of each hook. 11:56:02 Hmm... possibly what you should do instead is use Pre instead of Init 11:56:31 It's hard deciding exactly where they should go. I think that's probably why I've got so many hooks. 11:56:36 Yes, that's what I done, and it seems fine for now 11:57:03 Using ${SegmentPre} instead of ${SegmentInit} should be fine, that'll in effect be at the end of Init as it'll be the first thing done next. 11:57:22 So then do you need to replace Language or is it OK? 11:57:45 Replace language ? 11:57:53 replace the Language segment 11:58:12 ${DisableSegment} Language 12:00:00 'Fraid I don't really understand the context of it all. And I can't stick around long enough to have it explained properly, sorry. 12:00:43 Don't worry, I'm getting there anyway, probably send it these days. 12:01:29 It's doing everything ever needed with Xml files, accept for non-ansi file paths 12:03:17 *** benedikt93 (~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93) has joined #portableapps 12:04:05 ok. thanks 12:04:25 *** shanet (~Shane@218-215-220-131.people.net.au) has joined #portableapps 12:04:29 *** pa_1637 (3ce40f1c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.60.228.15.28) has joined #portableapps 12:04:52 Wo bist das Beta 5? 12:04:57 must the executable located in AppNamePortable ? 12:05:49 pa_1079: The launcher executable AppNamePortable.exe yes. 12:05:50 canĀ“t it be located in app subfolder or any other subfolder under app 12:06:01 pa_1079: it won't appear in the menu if it's not. 12:06:29 pa_1637: just wait.
