06:26:06 <GordCaswell> is anyone here using Ubuntu w/ Wine 1.3 to run the PA.c Platform, or for that matter, any other .exe's? I'm having issues with Ubuntu not allowing me to execute files because they're missing the "executable bit" or something (NOTE: this is a new virtual machine I've set up for testing purposes)
06:26:36 <JohnTHaller> Lemme check
06:30:15 <JohnTHaller> Fired up my Ubuntu VM (in VirtualBox) and updating now.  Will let you know if it's a new bug or something
06:32:54 <GordCaswell> Alright, thanks, John. This is happening with all files I try to run from my external HD at the moment. I'm using VirtualBox as well
06:42:23 <JohnTHaller> ... lot of updates apparently
06:43:46 <GordCaswell> Good to know it's not just me then :)
06:46:26 <JohnTHaller> How do you have Wine 1.3?  Ubuntu's repository shows the most recent as 1.2.2
06:46:49 <GordCaswell> I downloaded it from WineHQ
06:47:17 <JohnTHaller> Ah.  I stick with the Ubuntu stuff from the repository.  Found there are generally less problems and that's what most people are generally using.
06:47:57 <GordCaswell> I thought maybe that was the problem, but when I updated to wine 1.3, it didn't help, so I'm downgrading to the stable 1.2.2
06:48:10 <JohnTHaller> Yeah 1.3 is beta
06:49:48 <GordCaswell> Yeah, thought it was worth a shot to see if it fixed the problem, but alas, it wasn't to be.
06:50:08 <JohnTHaller> You need to set it as executable when you download apps now it seems
06:50:54 <GordCaswell> BTW, Scribus 1.4.0 is due any day now, it should be ready for release shortly thereafter, provided I can figure out how to upgrade data files' contents
06:51:31 <JohnTHaller> After I set the installer as exeuctable, it installed fine.  And then when I went to run the launcher for the app, it launched without needing the executable bit set.
06:51:34 <JohnTHaller> Ah cool
06:51:50 <GordCaswell> I tried that on StartPortableApps.exe, but the flag was unset nearly as soon as I set it.
06:51:50 <JohnTHaller> You chatted with any of the Scribus devs yet?
06:52:08 *** flyback has parted #portableapps ("Leaving")
06:52:26 <GordCaswell> I haven't recently, not since I first put together a Dev Test
06:53:44 <GordCaswell> I'll send you a copy of the conversation I had with them at that time
06:54:10 <JohnTHaller> We shoulod probably reconnect with them.  Be nice to have it semi-official or official
06:57:44 <GordCaswell> This was the reply I received when I first approached them, I'll approach them again about getting it more official: "MrDocs said:  If you are willing to maintain this, please go ahead with our appreciation."
06:59:20 <JohnTHaller> We're happy to do all the work, host, maintain, promote and link back to them for the local version and for donations.  If they're interested in blessing it with a space on their download page or similar, that would be great.
06:59:49 <GordCaswell> I'm drafting an email now, I'll definitely mention that.
07:07:23 <JohnTHaller> Feel free to CC me and let them know I'm around if there's any other ways we can help
07:08:31 <JohnTHaller> We particularly like big useful stable open source apps like this.  They fit in very well with our whole toolkit and platform... and our philosophy (we're GPL as well)
07:11:08 <GordCaswell> Done. Should be receiving it at the developer's address shortly
07:12:15 <GordCaswell> Although it appears the email to them is being held for moderator's approval. The joys of mailing lists being your main dev. contact. :)
07:12:24 <JohnTHaller> indeed
07:14:08 <GordCaswell> well, back to work. I need to post the 1.4.0RC1 so at least a little bit of testing can be done on it before the final comes out.
07:15:04 <JohnTHaller> adding em now
07:15:52 <GordCaswell> eh??
07:16:15 <JohnTHaller> Thought scriptdaemon was here: http://portableapps.com/news/2011-02-24_-_hm_nis_edit_portable_2.0.3_released#comment-171584
07:18:19 <JohnTHaller> thanks for sending the email Gord :)
07:18:44 <JohnTHaller> I can't remember how to do it permanently, but that does it for now at least.
07:18:49 <GordCaswell> ooo...nice
07:19:18 <JohnTHaller> I should learn.  For someone who used to use IRC a lot 15 years ago.  I'm surprisingly inept when it comes to OPing
07:19:48 <GordCaswell> Umm, I'm getting duplicate/denied/ip when I try to post comments at the moment, both on the test releases page and just now on that news story..
07:20:05 <JohnTHaller> triggered the spam filter
07:20:06 <GordCaswell> Just like anything else, if you don't use it much, you get rusty
07:20:13 <GordCaswell> Heh...oops
07:20:40 <GordCaswell> Probably my one-word replies in the test releases page
07:20:44 <JohnTHaller> Yup
07:20:48 <JohnTHaller> 3 of em and you're blocked
07:21:32 <JohnTHaller> that should do it
07:21:32 <GordCaswell> ah, ok. I'll make them more verbose then
07:21:37 <GordCaswell> Thanks.
07:21:54 <JohnTHaller> Just include Added (whatever you added) or Updater to version 1.2.3 or whatever

07:23:34 <GordCaswell> Easy enough. Have you given any thought to giving dev's the ability to delete comments on that thread, so that instead of commenting on them, we just add the information, and then delete the pertinent comment?
07:23:35 <JohnTHaller> VirtualBox upgrade
07:23:51 <JohnTHaller> which thread was it
07:25:11 <GordCaswell> the test releases page
07:25:40 <JohnTHaller> oh yeah.  would really like to get all these things in an issue tracker
07:26:26 <GordCaswell> If only drupal had one that was well-integrated for Drupal 7
07:27:46 <JohnTHaller> We'll get there.  Gotta get on Drupal 7 first
07:30:08 <GordCaswell> I don't mind the wait. There aren't any decently-integrated trackers for drupal 7, not yet, anyway
07:31:13 <JohnTHaller> I do.  It's holding back the translations.  And the new db-driven app directory that I can auto-build the updater database file from
07:32:53 <GordCaswell> Ahh, so that's holding up the 2.0 release as well, gotcha
07:34:03 <JohnTHaller> right now I'm manually editing an INI file for the updater.  Pretty easy to mess up an MD5 paste
07:35:05 <GordCaswell> no kidding. I've done it a couple times, prior to saving, and that's with one file! manually editing an ini for all files would be a royal pain alright.
07:36:12 <JohnTHaller> specially as we're at about 200 apps
07:36:49 <GordCaswell> and growing daily - great to see more people adopting the launcher, helping to add to the app directory quickly
07:37:15 <JohnTHaller> Makes analyzing their work much easier too
07:39:51 <JohnTHaller> well, attempting to get my flash drive to pass through into virtualbox crashed it, so I don't think I'll test anything additional in terms of executable bit tonight
07:40:39 <GordCaswell> No problem. I had issues with that earlier myself, took a day of starting and restarting VirtualBox before it finally decided to work.

07:47:18 <pa_6308> thats right
07:47:32 <GordCaswell> Ah, just clicked over to it in Chrome
07:47:57 <JohnTHaller> We don't yet.  But you could refer them to us and we can work with them to get a PA.c Format version working.  It's closed source so we can't just modify it ourselves/

07:49:56 <JohnTHaller> Sure thing :)
07:50:13 <pa_6308> Bye
07:52:39 <GordCaswell> Sorry for stepping on your toes there John...
07:53:02 <GordCaswell> I would have tossed out that addy in -ot, but you're not there right now
07:53:35 <JohnTHaller> There was no stepping.  Having multiple people assist works well if they're all respectful and complement info.
07:55:15 <GordCaswell> Alright. I know some people can get worked up if someone else steps in on "your" help
07:56:12 <JohnTHaller> Meh.  We usually try and have one on one.  But, honestly, having 2 people work together is just fine.  As long as you give it a few moments to be sure the other is done with what they said, etc.
07:56:27 <GordCaswell> I hear ya
07:56:35 <JohnTHaller> And we both said hi to the guy at the same time... so it's anybody's 'help'

15:45:06 <pa_2878> can anyone tell me how to determine if a program i want to install can be used as a portable app?
15:45:50 <kiriko> first you have to know if it uses .net or java
15:46:06 <kiriko> or if it run with QTwebkit
15:46:09 <pa_2878> hmm. ok, how do i determine that?
15:46:27 <kiriko> you have to get that from main site under requierments
15:46:41 <pa_2878> ok. thank you.
15:47:21 <kiriko> at the corrent moment we do not use .net application that will be comin soon
15:48:02 <pa_2878> ok, the site doesnt specify. it says java for MAC, but I'm using Vista
15:48:05 <kiriko> you can find more information here http://portableapps.com/node/11772
15:48:21 <kiriko> ok java is a cross platform program
15:48:56 <pa_2878> ok. does that help me figure out if will work as a portable app?
15:49:13 <kiriko> yes it can
15:49:34 <pa_2878> ok. where should I place the executable file?
15:49:43 <kiriko> can you send me the link of the app that you are interested so that i can help you determin
15:50:06 <pa_2878> can i post it here?
15:50:11 <kiriko> yes

15:55:35 <pa_2878> Focuswriter is just a word processor.
15:55:43 <kiriko> ah
15:56:32 <kiriko> we also have abi word portable that is a full word processor
15:56:43 <pa_2878> .wnw
15:57:14 <pa_2878> this software is a comprehensive program designed for writing books with lots of extra features a word processor doesn't have
15:57:53 <kiriko> oh ok
15:58:24 <pa_2878> Can I make it work on portable apps by dropping the executable in a particular place?
15:58:26 <kiriko> ok so what version of the program do you have
15:58:47 <pa_2878> I have 4.0.6r
16:00:06 <kiriko> it has to made portable in a specific way
16:00:20 <pa_2878> oh
16:00:37 <pa_2878> is that something I can do, or must that be done by the creator?
16:00:52 <kiriko> no you can do it your self
16:01:09 <pa_2878> ok
16:01:26 <kiriko> let me give you the links so that you can get started
16:01:29 <pa_2878> what would be the best way to do that?
16:01:33 <agdurrette> http://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_launcher
16:01:40 <pa_2878> k
16:01:46 <pa_2878> k
16:01:47 <kiriko> yes that is one of the programs you need

16:02:00 <agdurrette> here is the manual http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/
16:02:14 <pa_2878> k
16:02:19 <kiriko> yes
16:02:19 <pa_2878> k
16:02:38 <kiriko> you also need NSIS Unicode from here http://portableapps.com/apps/development/nsis_portable
16:03:35 <pa_2878> k
16:03:51 <pa_2878> i need all of these?
16:04:11 <kiriko> yes
16:04:18 <pa_2878> ok
16:04:36 <agdurrette> there is 3 apps you need (I think)
16:04:37 <pa_2878> i assume the manual has the detailed instructions?
16:04:56 <agdurrette> on how to use the launcher yes
16:05:27 <kiriko> yes it dose and you can also you use some of the other apps as examples to help you with the development of this app
16:05:40 <pa_2878> ok thanks for your help.
16:05:48 <kiriko> :D

21:12:15 *** 45PABT3NY is now known as dbdii407
21:12:54 <dsjweons_saj24> i created my laucher and installer.... successful but with some issues
21:14:53 <dsjweons_saj24> apparently when tested with my launcher, the .exe installs additional files to my C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
21:15:50 <gluxon> Could you paste bin the additional files part of the launcher?
21:15:53 <gluxon> http://pastebin.com
21:16:08 <gluxon> Or better yet, the whole launcher ini.
21:16:42 <dsjweons_saj24> don't know what that is
21:17:22 <gluxon> How did you make the launcher then?
21:17:47 <gluxon> Just wondering, there's different methods at making launchers, the PortableApps.com Launcher generator is just the most common.
21:17:56 <dsjweons_saj24> I only have the 'ProgramExecutable' line in my launcher.ini file
21:18:24 <dsjweons_saj24> i use PortableApps.com Launcher generator
21:19:38 <gluxon> Can you upload the installer someplace and let me look over it then? I have no idea what's causing the additional files to be placed in AppData.
21:20:04 <dsjweons_saj24> i want the files to install on the portable app

21:22:25 <dsjweons_saj24> how do i tell launcher.ini to install on portable app
21:23:19 <gluxon> Ah, okay, that makes sense.
21:23:27 <gluxon> Additional files or settings?
21:23:36 *** kai_62656 has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
21:24:09 <dsjweons_saj24> additional files
21:25:47 <dsjweons_saj24> well they are image and music files that are used by program to display stuff
21:26:11 <gluxon> You can either set up an environment variable to redirect them, or do the rename, copy, and backup method.
21:26:33 <gluxon> Is it random location, or is it always the same?
21:26:40 <dsjweons_saj24> always the same
21:26:49 <dsjweons_saj24> same file names
21:26:57 <gluxon> And same folder name?
21:27:06 <dsjweons_saj24> also same on different computers
21:27:22 <dsjweons_saj24> yes same folder name
21:27:36 <dsjweons_saj24> too
21:29:18 <gluxon> Well, additional files are different from settings, so can't you just delete them after the app is finished running?
21:30:36 <dsjweons_saj24> i like the additional files to be installed on the portable cause the portable app needs them to display program properly
21:31:04 <gluxon> What do you mean by display the program properly?
21:31:28 <dsjweons_saj24> image and sound files
21:33:11 <gluxon> Sorry, but I don't completely understand, how would letting the app copy its additional files to AppData prevent it from displaying images and sound files?
21:33:40 *** benedikt93 has quit (Quit: Bye ;))
21:34:36 <dsjweons_saj24> i just like to know how to set the environment variable so that the portable app installs additional files to portable location, then points to the new location each time i use it

21:41:35 *** Tapionp has quit (Quit: Leaving)
21:44:29 <dsjweons_saj24> i have read the manual and it's a bit confusing. got other portable apps created but the one i'm working on is installing stuff to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
21:45:02 <dsjweons_saj24> this is only after first launch of app
21:45:42 <gluxon> Then what's wrong with rename, restore, and backup?
21:47:09 <dsjweons_saj24> sorry please explain rename, restore and backup?
21:47:28 <dsjweons_saj24> method?
21:48:09 <gluxon> Rename the folder (if it's there), and let the app run, then copy the folder onto the drive, and rename the original.
21:48:48 <gluxon> Then next time, instead of letting the app run, you restore the folder's previous contents by copying it off the drive and placing it back in AppData.
21:51:32 <dsjweons_saj24> are you tell me that I need to do this each time I run the portable app
21:51:34 <dsjweons_saj24> ?
21:52:16 <gluxon> Not manually :-/
21:52:30 <gluxon> That's how Firefox Portable handles profiles.
21:53:04 <dsjweons_saj24> exactly!
21:53:36 <dsjweons_saj24> so how do i get my first launch to set the portable app to do what firefox portable does?
21:55:39 <gluxon> Actually, I lied a bit, it doesn't copy the whole profile, but it uses the same method.
22:00:49 <dsjweons_saj24> so do i have to do something in the launcher .ini file?

23:47:57 <mrmcpowned> I really wouldnt think so
23:47:59 <dboki89> IMO, that should have been the default ten years ago. Would be lot less infected computers
23:48:10 <mrmcpowned> Yeah
23:48:12 <Kiriko> not if it means that it give you more securyti
