00:10:07 <TimClark> What would be the benefit of a 64-Bit version of 7-Zip ?
00:12:14 <Gizmokid2005> TimClark: faster data travel - more pipes to send it through
00:12:22 <ZachThibeau> for people like me that have a 64bit processor :P
00:12:25 <Gizmokid2005> typically with any 64-bit app, it shoudl perform faster
00:12:26 <ZachThibeau> I just found that out today xD
00:13:03 <TimClark> but if you just zipping or unzipping files would speed really matter
00:13:15 *** dbdii407 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:13:28 <Gizmokid2005> if it's a larger archive, yes.
00:13:56 <Gizmokid2005> a backup of the portableapps platform for me is a lot, usually between 500MB and 1GB. When using higher compression methods it takes longer
00:14:03 <Gizmokid2005> but then it becomes a question of drive speed...so

00:16:24 *** drag|out is now known as dragonmage
00:17:54 <TimClark> Gizmokid2005: so are you saying it might take 15 seconds instead of 20 on a big job, or 2 minutes instead of 15 minutes ?
00:18:23 <Gizmokid2005> depends on drive speed still, but typically you should see /roughly/ a 40% or higher speed increase if it's all done correctly
00:19:32 <TimClark> but are we talking minutes or seconds on the same drive senerio
00:20:11 <Gizmokid2005> depends, on a backup that would take say, 10 minutes, it should take maybe 5 or so with 64-bit vs 32
00:20:19 *** Suiseiseki has quit ("desu desu desu")
00:20:45 <TimClark> ok, so I guess the speed improvement could be of value
00:21:15 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, typically, if the hardware can handle it, it's always a good idea...I was going to use the 64-bit version of XP, but the lack of drivers kept me from it.

01:05:00 <TimClark> are you just visiting or are you hear to let us know that PA.c is down ?
01:05:11 <Gizmokid2005> hello KevinPorter
01:05:34 <KevinPorter> Hi Gizmokid2005. :)
01:06:21 <KevinPorter> TimClark: Just visiting, sir. No need to bother you with things you already would know.
01:07:37 <TimClark> Good to see you as always
01:07:48 <KevinPorter> Likewise. :)
01:09:04 <sar3th> sleeping time now..see ya

01:48:55 <TimClark> Java 6 update 14 released but it is NOT a security release, thankfully
01:50:18 *** Roamer has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
01:52:34 <TimClark> 9.1.2 Updates available for Adobe Reader and Acrobat, these ARE security related, dang
01:52:47 <Gizmokid2005> already updated Adobe
01:52:50 <Gizmokid2005> haven't touched java.
01:53:27 <TimClark> oh, Gizmokid2005 with both of those I always wait at least 72 hours
01:53:40 <Gizmokid2005> java I rarely pay attentiont too
01:53:45 <Gizmokid2005> *attention
01:54:00 <Gizmokid2005> and the only reason Adobe got updated was because I actually used it today and it notified me...so I figured why not..I'm ehre
01:54:00 <TimClark> I am NOT your Guinea Pig Adboe/Sun :O
01:54:02 <Gizmokid2005> *here
01:54:03 <Gizmokid2005> lol
01:54:08 <Gizmokid2005> yeah...but we ARE MS'... :(
01:54:47 <TimClark> Only if you get an OS or Office Package before SP 1 Gizmokid2005
01:55:08 *** SrgSiler|AFK is now known as SrgSiler|Sleep
01:55:10 <Gizmokid2005> TimClark: even then you still are...hence SP2...and SP3...and SP4... ;)
01:55:13 <TimClark> By SP 1 they are usaually stable
01:55:31 <Gizmokid2005> (vista, XP, win2k)
01:56:13 <TimClark> WinXP has been quite stable since SP1
01:56:28 <TimClark> Vista SP1 was a gimick
01:56:59 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, but you get my point ;)
01:56:59 <TimClark> the real SP1 for Vista has a code name, now what was that again ...?
01:57:07 <Gizmokid2005> Win7?? :P
01:57:11 <TimClark> Oh, yeah, it will be called Win7
01:57:15 <TimClark> :P
01:57:24 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, but you understand what I mean
01:57:31 <Gizmokid2005> Even office 03 is SP3 now
01:58:08 <TimClark> Not really, the other serivice packs come out as attacks are created, it does not mean that the product was not stable
01:58:31 <TimClark> But between 0 and 1, that's a bug fix
01:59:08 <Gizmokid2005> gotta nitpick :P
01:59:20 <TimClark> Need to go soon guys, Gizmokid2005 and KevinPorter you have the floor
01:59:31 <Gizmokid2005> I'm leaving soon too, but take care TimClark
01:59:47 <TimClark> hey, who's this PatrickPaticence guy with Op, is he ever around ?
01:59:52 <TimClark> :P
02:00:00 <Gizmokid2005> *shrugs* I don't ever see him anymore :P lol
02:01:00 <Gizmokid2005> on that note, I'm going to go and see if a pillow will fix my migraine
02:01:03 <Gizmokid2005> bye KevinPorter, TimClark, et al

03:44:29 <JohnTHaller> In case anyone was wondering about the brief site outtage: http://portableapps.com/node/19547
03:44:36 <ChrisMorgan> Hello JohnTHaller :-)
03:44:41 <ChrisMorgan> Didn't notice one...
03:45:28 <ChrisMorgan> JohnTHaller: how're you going on the launcher?
03:45:36 <JohnTHaller> it was 2 hours and apparently internmittent as the various switches and stuff came onine
03:46:15 <ChrisMorgan> OK. I was probably in bed at the time, or if it was within the last few hours, doing the GAT (general exam for year 12 students)
03:47:00 * ChrisMorgan likes the new Inkscape package :-)
03:47:58 <JohnTHaller> hey chris
03:48:36 <ChrisMorgan> Ain't that sad... a laptop I was interested in buying, specs looked fairly good all round at a very good price... but it's being discontinued and they're out of stock :-(
03:49:19 <JohnTHaller> ChrisMorgan: I sent emailed you the joint copyright assignment agreement. I'd like to take bits of both and make it a little fresh. some of your foundation, some of my error handling, some of each of our features.
03:50:01 <ChrisMorgan> Arg... should I replicate my signature in Inkscape!?
03:51:31 <JohnTHaller> I sign and scan. Or copy my sig and drop it in.
03:51:38 <ChrisMorgan> Does it really need to be that complex? A verbal agreement has just as much legal standing as a written one, and so does an email, I understand.
03:51:40 <JohnTHaller> you can fax it too if you want
03:51:59 <ChrisMorgan> Well, I can't fax, and can't scan... how's that :P
03:52:35 <JohnTHaller> Alright. Create it in a program like that :-)
03:52:43 <JohnTHaller> I had a drawing pad I did mine in.

03:53:40 <JohnTHaller> you can try with your mouse
03:53:48 <ChrisMorgan> OK, I'll see what I can do in Inkscape with a mouse :-)
03:54:37 <JohnTHaller> heh
03:54:49 <ChrisMorgan> Do you reckon that Inkscape 0.47 could be an immediate release when its released?
03:54:53 <JohnTHaller> i did mine freehand in GIMP (since I don;t nee the vectors(
03:55:01 <JohnTHaller> sure, long as you're happy with it.
03:55:10 <JohnTHaller> I trust your knowlegde of it
03:55:12 <ChrisMorgan> Oh yeah, could you please release BPBible Portable 0.4.4?
03:55:30 <ChrisMorgan> Yeah, I think I've got the launcher working perfectly now for Inkscape.
03:56:14 <JohnTHaller> yeah, was finishing another installer bug first (doesn't correctly check runnin when in automated mode)
03:56:27 <ChrisMorgan> Yeah, guessed it might be something like that.
03:56:39 <JohnTHaller> .0.90.2 fixes that issue and switches to NSIS 2.45 (no more Win7 patch needed)
03:56:44 <JohnTHaller> and adds in plugin installers
03:56:46 <ChrisMorgan> Good :-)
03:57:16 <ChrisMorgan> Is it OK if I just say "Yes" on the agreement? From a legal point of view, I believe that it's perfectly valid.
03:57:20 <JohnTHaller> (which is basically tale appinfo.ini and installer.ini and turn it into plugininstaller.ini and put it in Other\Source
03:57:40 <JohnTHaller> I need a signed thing jusy in case
03:57:47 <JohnTHaller> according to my lawyer
03:58:05 <ChrisMorgan> Facebook business pages just require you to type in your name as an "Electronic signature" saying that you're authorised to use the name
03:58:28 <ChrisMorgan> Might be different under American law, but I doubt it. Ah well :P
03:58:39 <JohnTHaller> i mean really, i could be 6 months before someone comes along and has an app that has to use something closed at the launcher level and wants to be in PAF and we cut a deal with him. it'd be nice to know we already can and don't have to go get them then
03:59:20 <ChrisMorgan> Sorry, go get what, signatures?
03:59:29 <JohnTHaller> It's about the agreement, really. FOr site terms and stuff, adding you initials is a step above a clickwrap. In a few locals it is considered a signature. But not here. And we need to be sure we have them all.
03:59:44 <ChrisMorgan> OK :-)
04:00:01 *** JacobMastel has quit (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
04:00:19 <ChrisMorgan> Should I write with a blue or a black pen? (rhetorical! :P)
04:00:31 <JohnTHaller> Sigs from those working on the platform, launcher, etc. So that we have joint copyright. So that if we need to add an exception for a specific closed source bit later, we can without havimg to do legal stuff theb
04:00:36 <Bensawsome> blue is a nice color :D
04:01:54 <ChrisMorgan> Maybe purple :P
04:02:23 <JohnTHaller> har ha
04:02:32 <JohnTHaller> alright... i need my sleep
04:02:41 <JohnTHaller> more updates coming tomorrow so keep an eye out.
04:02:47 <ChrisMorgan> OK, goodnight :-)
04:03:13 <ChrisMorgan> Will it crash..?
04:03:18 <JohnTHaller> oh before I head bout... what do you guys think about...
04:03:33 <ChrisMorgan> Oh grr, it didn't, just became unresponsive for a while :P
04:03:52 <ChrisMorgan> I think ... is good ;-)
04:04:00 <JohnTHaller> different height themes. not fine-tuned in terms of number of apps, but being ab;le to have a short one with only 10 apps listed. or normal with 20. or large with 30. it'd be defined by the the,e
04:04:39 <ChrisMorgan> Are you typing on a netbook keyboard?
04:04:52 <Bensawsome> lol
04:05:14 <ChrisMorgan> I think it could be useful, but I personally wouldn't use it... because I don't use the menu at all :P
04:05:20 <ChrisMorgan> Command Prompt Portable ftw :-)
04:05:21 <Bensawsome> if i didnt have so many apps that it went over the whole screen lentgh then yes i would think those length themes are good :)
04:06:17 <ve4jhj> I'm sure there's users out there that would appreciate those kinds of themes. I, myself, wouldn't use them either, but someone would.
04:08:02 <ChrisMorgan> Hey, the calligraphy tool /has/ been improved since 0.46!
04:09:19 <JohnTHaller> move to top is becoming favorite and move to bottom is going away.
04:09:44 <JohnTHaller> favorite is being used within our category (aka folder view), too.
04:09:45 *** dabossbv1 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
04:09:58 <JohnTHaller> may have a test build out tomorrow if I bust my ass
04:10:48 <ChrisMorgan> Yeah, categories are definitely a favourite.
04:11:32 <ve4jhj> ok, i'm heading off now. G'night all
04:11:43 *** ve4jhj has quit ("Leaving.")
04:12:34 <JohnTHaller> advanced themes, too (rearrange the form, layout, etc)
04:13:11 <ChrisMorgan> Is what you're saying that folder view is coming in a test very soon?
04:13:45 <ChrisMorgan> JohnTHaller: http://portableapps.com/node/19537 is illegal, right?
04:13:45 <ChrisMorgan> .title
04:13:48 <pabot> ChrisMorgan: Firefox Portable in VietNam | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives
04:15:29 <JohnTHaller> it is illegal. tnough maybe we can ask him to do vietnamese translations for us. if we're mssing em for the launcher, if he does em, I'll make it official for the next release.
04:16:10 <ChrisMorgan> Vietnames comes under Unicode stuff.
04:17:02 <ChrisMorgan> BPBible's first translation was Vietnamese... and yet it's still the only language BPBible supports which the Platform etc. doesn't
04:20:58 <JohnTHaller> yeah. think we may need to just switch to NSIS unicode as a test release... be sure plugins etc are working, etc
04:21:38 <ChrisMorgan> TimClark reckoned that 2000 support would be dropped within 8 months... I said I couldn't see any reason why it would be...
04:22:08 <ChrisMorgan> I added a calendar entry for me on 9 April to remind him it's still there, don't fail me :P
04:22:41 <ChrisMorgan> What do you think about dropping 98 support completely, going Unicode, dropping Notepad++ ANSI?
04:23:04 <ChrisMorgan> I reckon we've come to a time when we could safely do it. So many of our apps now don't support it at all.
04:23:39 <ChrisMorgan> And the Windows 98 machines in the school library are going out, to be replaced with XP machines, so my need for 98 support is done :P
04:26:12 <JohnTHaller> yeah, that's the plan. switch the installer and launcher to unicode win2k+ only
04:26:25 <JohnTHaller> i'll do a single 'legacy' suite with the old versions of stuff for win9x
04:26:34 <JohnTHaller> gonna switch the menu to unicode, too
04:26:45 <ChrisMorgan> Sounds good. Make it the cut-off point :-)
04:27:06 <ChrisMorgan> I reckon people using 9x are unlikely to be the people wanting to upgrade.
04:27:13 <ChrisMorgan> And also unable to for performance reasons.

04:32:25 <JohnTHaller> got the installer working with NSIS unicode
04:32:37 <ChrisMorgan> OK, good!
04:32:53 <ChrisMorgan> I think it'd be mainly DLL calls that'd need checking, that right?
04:33:00 <JohnTHaller> couple minor formatting things. and I'll have to compile the Win7 patch in.
04:33:08 <JohnTHaller> yea
04:33:19 <ChrisMorgan> Yeah, thought NSISU 2.45 might not have been released

06:31:26 <prbzt> hello i want to ask something
06:32:04 <ChrisMorgan> please ask it :-)
06:33:08 <prbzt> okay thank you chris,umph i have portableapps 1.5 and its open source right?i download a source code from the sourceforge.net and i want to change something from the "main.pas" source
06:33:52 <ChrisMorgan> You'll need a copy of Delphi - commercial software
06:34:06 <prbzt> i want to change the "eject button when pressed" command to run an application from the portable drive that portableapps installed to
06:34:13 <ChrisMorgan> (To compile it at least)
06:34:13 <prbzt> cant use notepad++?
06:34:30 <ChrisMorgan> If you wanted to edit it to do that you could, but not to compile it.
06:35:07 <prbzt> whats the difference?im sorry im a very new to programming
06:35:42 <ChrisMorgan> You've got to compile it before you can use what you've done.
06:35:52 <ChrisMorgan> And you've got to pay for Delphi before you c an compile it.
06:36:36 <prbzt> owh i see,okay i need the basic code to launch an application using the eject button
06:36:43 <prbzt> the software is EjectUSB
06:36:54 <prbzt> and i put it in the portable drive
06:37:41 <ChrisMorgan> The thing is that there are various ones, none of them really do a very good job of it. Soon the platform'll be getting fully integrated closing of each app as it is best closed down, not how other apps normally doit which is just terminating processes.
06:38:26 <prbzt> umph yeah i think so too,
06:38:40 <prbzt> i just make an experiment haha lol
06:41:54 <prbzt> thanks anyway

12:25:04 <Guest74913> Hi, thunbird portable works ok, but not in a multi-platform. I work with both linux and windows, is there an alternative where I can put all my emails in a thumbdrive?
12:27:29 <Bensawsome> we do not currently have any linux portableapps

12:28:18 <ChrisMorgan> Hello elijah, can we help you?

12:28:25 <ChrisMorgan> ah yes...
12:28:25 <Guest14979> hi
12:28:42 <Guest14979> thunderbird portable changes it's path whenever I change OS
12:28:44 <ChrisMorgan> Anything /else/ we can help with?
12:29:15 <Guest14979> I use both linux and windows, so when I use linux the path is different when I switch
12:29:16 <Bensawsome> unfortunately we dont have any cross platform apps
12:29:21 <Guest14979> :(
12:29:36 <Bensawsome> i remember a long time ago there was a cross platform firefox...
12:29:36 <Guest14979> anyone here knows of any? a java app maybe?
12:29:42 <Bensawsome> but that was back on version 1.5
12:29:55 <Bensawsome> ummmm i dont know of any unfoertunately :( ChrisMorgan?
12:30:23 <ChrisMorgan> I don't recall any cross-platform Firefox.
12:30:39 <ChrisMorgan> It's much more common for Java applications to be cross-platform-portable.
12:30:46 <Guest14979> there was this iscribe, opens up the emails from the usb, but doesn't seem to work for me
12:31:39 <ChrisMorgan> JSword is one I know of - dmsmith distributes a package of it which is portable *and* cross-platform, and GanttProject is available as a cross-platform download with a batch file for Windows, and shell scripts for Linux and OS X.
12:32:37 <Guest14979> sounds like an office application, what would be great is an email client like thunderbird
12:33:10 <ChrisMorgan> That may happen later for PortableApps.com, but at the moment we only deal in Windows apps.
12:33:35 <Guest14979> aw ok :( I'll keep looking then, thanks for the replies

14:40:21 *** ZachT|AFK is now known as ZachThibeau
14:41:30 <pssyde> first I tried to register but there was no captcha image. Second, I got this error when i try to install Flash player for Mozilla portable "Firefox could not install the file at http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi because: Install script not found -204" pliz assist
14:45:23 <pssyde> help
14:46:46 <sar3th> pssyde: for the flash issue, try http://portableapps.com/node/15501
14:47:15 <pssyde> tarbo: help
14:49:29 <pssyde> sar3th: already been to the site n used that installer but after installing I still cant play flash
14:57:12 <pssyde> If I right click on a page with a flash movie I get a menu with 2 items: (1). movie not loaded, (2). About Flash player 10...
14:58:09 <Gizmokid2005> pssyde: that means its installed
14:58:16 <Gizmokid2005> if it gives you the option for "About Flash Player 10"
14:59:08 <pssyde> so what could be my problem? I have tried several Flash sites but it is just the same
15:00:17 <Gizmokid2005> pssyde: see if they work here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
15:02:39 <pssyde> sorry no- doesnt work all I get is "click here to download plugin" at the space where the flash movie is supposed to be
15:02:59 <Gizmokid2005> for one, or both?
15:04:20 <pssyde> thats for shockwave. for flash I get a white space and on ight click on a page with a flash movie I get a menu with 2 items: (1). movie not loaded, (2). About Flash player 10...
15:04:25 *** drag|zzZZ is now known as dragonmage
15:05:19 <Gizmokid2005> then there is something else on your system blocking the flash, be it another plugin, or firewall, or security settings
15:05:22 <Gizmokid2005> flash is installed
15:05:32 <Gizmokid2005> your system just isn't allowing the *.swf files to be downloaded
15:05:36 <Gizmokid2005> do you have adblockplus installed?
15:06:00 <pssyde> I believe am behind a firewall.
15:06:17 <Gizmokid2005> that's probably why you can't see them.
15:06:26 <Gizmokid2005> but I can't say for sure, but it's most likely the issue, flash is installed

16:19:43 <pa_2502> i copied the folder "profile" from the portable and pasted it in place of local's "profile" folder..
16:20:31 <pa_2502> i also tried to remove the profile folder of the local and put in its place the profile of portable
