Start it up, it "boots" into the PA.c "OS", and you get presented with a "Desktop" and a [GeoShell?] powered shell....with a "Start Menu" that actually opens the PA platform/menu. 01:40:05 PortableApps run in this environment get there taskbar items put into the "PA.c OS" taskbar instead of the host 01:40:48 All in all, while only taking the resources of an application rather than an OS, an entirely personalised desktop experience....all powered by portable apps! 01:49:35 *** GordCaswell (~GordCaswe@unaffiliated/ve4jhj) has joined #portableapps 01:49:41 GordCaswell is a PortableApps.com developer.

GordCaswell I cant seem to get emerger to use relative links...it wants a drive letter or system variable like %SystemDrive% 02:54:58 *emerge 02:57:30 looks like a newer dev test of the base app has fixed issues with relative paths.

Just a bit or a priority crunch. Still catching up on apps post-holiday. And trying to boost and continue drive sales. 19:20:49 First priority on the platform is fixing the personal picture crash.

BTW, good idea changing the site's font. Open Sans looks like Ubuntu (which was supposed to be my default font). Now I wonder why do browsers still have a "default fonts" setting, as no site respects it. 19:54:19 It's for sites that don't specify 20:02:50 Yeah... just realized that even my websites do specify a custom font... m( 20:04:51 JohnTHaller: Have you heard any news from Chris with regards to PAL 2.1.3? 20:17:34 nope 20:19:15 Hmm... alright. 20:20:48 We need to find a way to either 1) delegate the Platform's "Run as Admin" feature to PAL, or 2) share a file between the elevated launcher and the Platform (what means an unique, yet previsible filename). 20:23:02 I right click the start.exe > run as anministrator 20:23:46 *** kronophskiy (~kronophsk@wbs-41-208-198-143.wbs.co.za) has joined #portableapps 20:24:16 hi, anyone here? 20:25:21 yes 20:25:51 I hear that the platform allows me to store fonts portably. How does that work? 20:26:24 See here: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#fonts 20:27:24 Cool 20:27:38 I have an application-specific question too, dunno if you'll be able to help 20:27:42 It's about Iron 20:30:43 It says that I must add adblock.ini to the app's main folder, but it doesn't seem to work 20:32:09 kronophskiy: Try the Data or Data\settings folders. 20:32:44 kAlug: I'll try, thanks 20:32:48 e3iswsi: It's half broken. Language switching, for example, doesn't work. 20:33:01 One more question, about ClamWin 20:33:23 I know you can get ClamSentinel. Will it work on the portable version? I doubt it but I figured I'd ask 20:34:29 Nope 20:35:01 Too bad 20:35:03 At least I don't think so. I haven't tried it myself. 20:35:38 I have mixed feeling about Clam 20:35:45 kAlug: is works perfect to me 20:36:38 *it 20:37:04 e3iswsi: It must have cached the language. Try changing the Platform's language. 20:37:35 I tried. I can't se problem 20:37:41 *see 20:38:36 Hmm... then something is wrong in my machine. What's your OS? 20:39:04 vista. what is the problem exactly? 20:40:43 Environment variables in general (including the language ones) aren't kept when the launcher elevates itself. When I tried, the same happened when the Platform elevated it. 20:41:38 Maybe this "feature" got added in Win7. 20:42:40 I had no problem running the platform in 7... I use it daily 20:43:20 for what "elevation" are you speaking about? 20:44:25 UAC privilege elevation. 20:45:11 Like here: http://www.ms-windows.info/Help/win-7-launching-elevated-app-not-900.aspx (see Solution 2) 20:45:49 *** Zarggg has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 20:52:22 Gotta go now.
