02:03:39 <newbie> Evening..
02:04:01 <ChrisMorgan> Good afternoon newbie :-)
02:04:21 <ChrisMorgan> Can we help you with anything?
02:04:35 <newbie> I will go to the help screen and figure out how to change my name. Thanks Chris.

02:07:28 *** newbie (n=kvirc@66.62.195.80) has joined #portableapps
02:07:58 <newbie> Sorry, crashed.
02:08:14 <ChrisMorgan> Which version of KVIrc are you using?
02:08:28 <newbie> 4.0.0
02:08:39 <newbie> Just fired it up for the first time.
02:08:47 <newbie> And I am SO rusty.
02:09:01 <Gizmokid2005> newbie: the V4 PR from PortableApps.com?
02:09:01 <ChrisMorgan> You're using a slightly later build than me... I think I've only managed to crash this once.
02:09:05 <newbie> yes,
02:09:09 <Gizmokid2005> ahh, ok :)
02:09:22 <ChrisMorgan> You've got r3576, I've got r3529
02:09:26 <Gizmokid2005> I forgot what build I've got out there
02:09:28 <Gizmokid2005> ahh yes.
02:09:38 <Gizmokid2005> I'll probably update it again at the end of the weekend.
02:09:41 <newbie> Ok, so I typed /name Raleigh034 and it didn't change. Does it need quotes?
02:09:45 <ChrisMorgan> No
02:09:49 <ChrisMorgan> "/nick"
02:09:58 <newbie> ok, crashed when that came up.
02:10:04 *** newbie is now known as Raleigh034
02:10:08 <Raleigh034> Got it, thanks.
02:10:25 <ChrisMorgan> You should probably then change it in the KVIrc config so that you come as Raleigh034 rather than newbie
02:10:46 <Raleigh034> Ok, in the settings?
02:10:52 <ChrisMorgan> yep
02:11:05 <Raleigh034> It had to have defaulted to newbie.
02:11:08 <Raleigh034> thanks
02:13:02 <Raleigh034> Neat program, Gizmokid2005.
02:13:15 <Gizmokid2005> thanks Raleigh034, after a long search I finally found an IRC client I like
02:13:16 <ChrisMorgan> (He didn't make it, he just made it portable)
02:13:21 <Gizmokid2005> right
02:13:29 <ChrisMorgan> Gizmokid2005 found it for me too :-)
02:13:32 <Gizmokid2005> I'm in no way experienced enough with Qt to even consider making an application like this.
02:13:41 <ChrisMorgan> I wouldn't have a chance...
02:13:43 <Raleigh034> Good enough for me. You all tweak a lot of things to make my day easier.
02:13:56 <Gizmokid2005> Raleigh034: makes a lot of our lives' easier too :)
02:14:08 <Gizmokid2005> ChrisMorgan: yeah, I'm working on a Qt Twitter app, and seeing just how involved it is.
02:16:25 <Raleigh034> When I quit, is the polite way or correct method to type /quit?
02:16:30 <Gizmokid2005> well, enjoy guys, I'm off to bed now. been up a LONG time for 3.5 hours of sleep.
02:16:40 <ChrisMorgan> bye Gizmokid2005
02:16:43 <Gizmokid2005> Raleigh034: it doesn't matter really ;) as long as you don't join/quit in quick succession
02:16:45 <Raleigh034> Night Gizmokid2005
02:16:45 <ChrisMorgan> Raleigh034: you can just close the window, it'll quit properly
02:16:56 <Raleigh034> Ok, thanks both
02:17:10 <ChrisMorgan> I tend to have my connection time out normally, when I put my laptop to sleep or hibernate it.
02:17:19 *** Gizmokid2005 is now known as Gizmokid2005|AFK
02:17:32 <ChrisMorgan> And so my quit message observes that something went wrong as normally I crash or otherwise time out :P

03:49:05 <pa_2462> hello, why portable apps is not portable?
03:49:16 <Chazz> Portable apps are portable
03:49:25 <ChrisMorgan> pa_2462: our applications are portable; what in particular is it that you have in mind?
03:49:39 <pa_2462> does it work on windows 7?
03:49:43 <Chazz> It does.
03:49:45 <ChrisMorgan> Yes
03:49:52 <ChrisMorgan> Except for The Mana World
03:50:01 <Chazz> ChrisMorgan, it doesn't?
03:50:02 <pa_2462> is there a x64 version? or portable 64?
03:50:11 <ChrisMorgan> The Mana World doesn't work on Windows 7, but the platform and all our other applications do
03:50:17 <Chazz> pa_2462, no, but x86 apps work on x64 platforms
03:50:24 <pa_2462> nice
03:50:27 <ChrisMorgan> No, currently we haven't seen enough benefit to produce specific 64-bit versions
03:50:57 <pa_2462> yeah i dont see anything about x64 in the whole page
03:51:09 <pa_2462> i just wondering
03:51:12 <ChrisMorgan> Some time soon we may add a 64-bit build of 7-Zip in 7-Zip Portable (and then the launcher will use the 64-bit version on a 64-bit system and the 32-bit version on a 32-bit system)
03:51:31 <ChrisMorgan> The reason why we haven't so far is because it adds to the size - it will double the package size.
03:51:56 <ChrisMorgan> For more information about the 64-bit discussion, read http://portableapps.com/node/19527
03:52:19 <pa_2462> thank you!
03:52:31 <ChrisMorgan> You're welcome :-)
03:55:44 <pa_2462> hello, is there any way to create a portable app by my self, whit out install it first?
03:55:52 <pa_2462> i mean, from the msi file?
03:56:07 *** Res2216firestar has quit ("Leaving")
03:56:48 <ChrisMorgan> pa_2462: what's the application?
03:57:20 <ChrisMorgan> I suggest that you read the following about making portable applications:
03:57:23 <ChrisMorgan> .def field_guide
03:57:23 <GizmoBot> field_guide is here: http://portableapps.com/node/14868
03:57:52 <ChrisMorgan> If you don't want to install the MSI first, you can try msi2xml (think it's called that)
03:57:58 <ChrisMorgan> But installing it is the easiest way to do it
03:59:00 <ChrisMorgan> Yup, http://msi2xml.sf.net
03:59:10 <ChrisMorgan> But I recommend that you just run the installer and work from there.
04:00:03 <pa_2462> thank you again

10:27:52 <pa_3032> I've just downloaded Dia Portable and was trying it
10:29:01 <pa_3032> it crashes whenever I try to draw an RE-i* block
10:29:25 <pa_3032> where should I report this incident?
10:30:44 <MaienM|Sleep> pa_3032: you should report this problem to the authors of Dia, let me get a link for you
10:31:17 <pa_3032> Thankyou
10:32:42 <MaienM|Sleep> here is their bug tracker, however it seems they require you to register to use it.... this is the way bugs should be reported though: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=dia
10:33:06 <MaienM|Sleep> I think its stupid to require people to register before allowing them to report bugs, but thats how they do it it seems :(

19:09:40 <ZachThibeau> I forgot the little tm thing :P
19:09:43 * Bensawsome requests his free cd
19:09:52 <pa_9576> why dont you download it?
19:09:53 * ZachThibeau already has it installed since the beta
19:09:58 * Bensawsome needs to upgrade his linux machine when he gets home
19:10:07 <Bensawsome> pa_9576 i like having the cd. it's kewl :P
19:10:08 <pa_9576> I am trying the live cd right now :)
19:10:11 <Bensawsome> lol
19:10:12 <Bensawsome> ya
19:10:18 <Bensawsome> im gonna dopwnload it soon
19:10:22 <Bensawsome> but my college's internet sucks
19:10:26 <pa_9576> :)
19:10:31 <Bensawsome> so it's gonna take a WHILE to download
19:10:34 <Gizmokid2005> Bensawsome: it's ok, most DLs are less than 300KB/s
19:10:40 <ZachThibeau> even with a torrent Bensawsome?
19:10:44 <Bensawsome> like a whole day
19:10:55 <pa_9576> I even infected my girlfriend so she is about to dump windows :)
19:10:59 <Bensawsome> ZachThibeau stop teasing me... torrenting is blocked :(
19:11:02 <Bensawsome> lol
19:11:09 <SteveLamerton> The connection I get here is about 20KB/s, rubbish
19:11:18 <ZachThibeau> ouch
19:11:20 <Bensawsome> but yes even over torrent it would suck ZachThibeau
19:11:22 <danisan> Hi
19:11:22 <danisan> I think poratble apps are great. I'm using it at work every time I can.I was wondering if I coud use it as network instalation. ¿Any way of changing apps Data directory to point to %APPDATA% (or %APPDATA%\<name_of_portable_app>\Data)?
19:11:24 <pa_9576> i dld it in about 8 mins
19:11:30 <Bensawsome> 10mb/s split between 1500 students
19:12:05 <Bensawsome> danisan the point of portable is to NOT use %appdata%
19:12:05 <Gizmokid2005> danisan: you can just install to the network drive if you please, just map the drive in my computer
19:12:23 <pa_9576> danisan: I dont know. Using the ini to change the data folder wont work since that only works if its on the same drive
19:12:32 <Gizmokid2005> just remember, just because it's installed on the network, that doesn't mean you can use it more than one instance at a time.
19:12:34 <Bensawsome> oh but a warning danisan it could be a bit slow over the network also
19:12:48 <Bensawsome> depending how good your network sspeeds are
19:12:56 *** andreasma (n=andi@93.215.137.202) has joined #portableapps
19:12:59 <pa_9576> yes. Put the whole AppnamePortable folder onto the network drive.
19:13:29 <ZachThibeau> SteveLamerton: so whats in the new toucan release?
19:14:00 <pa_9576> hi Andreasma :)
19:14:09 <SteveLamerton> Bensawsome: 80mb/s between ~20,000 students and staff :(
19:14:30 <ZachThibeau> when I was in college I said screw the college internet and I got my own xD
19:14:30 <andreasma> hi pa_9576, hi all
19:14:48 <SteveLamerton> ZachThibeau: Not that much loads of bug fixes and stability updates, new rules ui, stuff like that, much of the big stuff is currently underway for what I will will have to be 3.0
19:14:55 *** rcmaehl (n=rcmaehl@unaffiliated/rcmaehl) has joined #portableapps
19:15:21 <rcmaehl> Can I help make a good PAP for Ubuntu/Linux
19:15:26 <danisan> the point is zero config install, just drop into network share and every body will have their own Data in their own %appdata% (I'm lazy ;)
19:16:03 <Gizmokid2005> rcmaehl: you can do what you please, you know we don't do apps specific for linux.
19:16:17 <Gizmokid2005> danisan: most apps won't like running multiple times from the same install directory
19:16:19 <Gizmokid2005> so chances are what you want to do won't work.
19:16:38 <rcmaehl> Gizmokid2005: i mean make it so it looks better
19:16:42 <pa_9576> Andreasma: Do you know where Marko is with OooPortable? Havent seen him a lot lately.
19:17:19 <andreasma> pa_9576, I know where he is ;-)
19:17:33 <Gizmokid2005> rcmaehl: make what better? The actual platform? Again, you can do what you want, but competing platforms won't be released on the site.
19:17:41 <andreasma> He has worked on an Built-Environment.
19:17:53 <pa_9576> :) oh ok
19:18:12 <rcmaehl> Gizmokid2005: the graphics
19:18:30 <Gizmokid2005> rcmaehl: john has his own graphics artist rcmaehl
19:18:34 <andreasma> I tested a beta version and I get OOoPortable in the language, I decided.
19:18:43 * rcmaehl headdesks
19:19:10 <pa_9576> cool
19:19:38 <andreasma> I'll give a presentation about OOoP at the OOoCon2009 next week in Orvieto/Italy.
19:20:07 <SteveLamerton> andreasma: I don't suppose you know if Marko is going to FOSDEM?
19:20:11 <rcmaehl> Gizmokid2005: I'm saying I want to help make a portable apps platform that looks better in Lunix, with out actually changing any of the PAP other than the Pictures for the apps and menu
19:20:22 <danisan> Gizmokid2005: if the application only writes into data directory, then one user in one machine cant notice other user in other machine (just distinct %appdata% directories)
19:20:51 <andreasma> SteveLamerton, in January or February 2010?
19:20:56 <Gizmokid2005> danisan: I know that, but the application itself will be using the app files, and it could potentially cause issue...most apps aren't meant to run like that.
19:20:57 <ZachThibeau> rcmaehl: if you seen the latest screenshots you can see there is already improvements, just drop it please
19:21:04 <SteveLamerton> andreasma: Thats the one
19:21:08 <rcmaehl> ZachThibeau: k
19:21:18 <Gizmokid2005> rcmaehl: again, my previous statements apply...if you want to do it so bad, post in the forums and talk to john...
19:21:48 <andreasma> SteveLamerton, I don't know.
19:22:04 * rcmaehl murmurs I hate fourms, they take so long.
19:22:13 <andreasma> SteveLamerton, maybe, I have the time to spent a weekend in Brussels.
19:22:15 <SteveLamerton> andreasma: No problem, I need to try and track him down ;)
19:23:56 <andreasma> SteveLamerton, Travelling to Brussels is a very long distance, if you live in the east of Germany.
19:24:21 <SteveLamerton> andreasma: Yes, it is quite a long journey from the UK too...
19:27:30 <andreasma> SteveLamerton, Marko is very busy in the last time.
19:29:58 * rcmaehl is away: sudo sleep now

19:42:47 <Gizmokid2005> SteveLamerton: that reminds me, I need to call T-Mobile today
19:42:50 <Gizmokid2005> and verizon probably
19:43:04 <SteveLamerton> They giving you a hard time Gizmokid2005?
19:44:44 <Gizmokid2005> SteveLamerton: no, I'm thinking of switching. Since T-Mobile released their $80/mo for unlimited everything plan, and they are going to subsidize the N900, I'm looking at switching
19:44:58 <Gizmokid2005> it saves me a lot of money and I absolutely must have the N900
19:45:27 <SteveLamerton> Yes, I would love an N900 too, I have an N800 at the moment but the extra phone stuff and new OS looks _awesome_
19:45:35 <Gizmokid2005> OOHh, VERY nice :)
19:45:39 <Gizmokid2005> I'm already jealous of you SteveLamerton :)
19:45:57 <Gizmokid2005> I've only got my E71x
19:46:23 <SteveLamerton> N800 is tablet only, no phone, so limited in its use, N900 on the other hand, wow
19:46:34 <Gizmokid2005> ahh, true.
19:46:46 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, the N900 is going to be probably the best phone to date :)
19:46:53 <Gizmokid2005> even better than the iphone :)
19:47:12 <Gizmokid2005> major processing power = unbelievable multi-tasking abilities..
19:47:23 <Gizmokid2005> plus it's a nice solid linux base and maemo5 :)
19:48:19 <SteveLamerton> Yes, I loved Maemo 4 and what they have done is amazing
19:49:16 <Gizmokid2005> I'm a little sad about the setback until next month, but I"m really excited for it.

23:19:01 <JohnTHaller> Yes, it is. And it's guaranteed, because the whole thing is open source, so even if we decide to charge, someone else could give it away.

23:19:23 <pa_4927> Oh, very nice.
23:19:33 <pa_4927> So how hard is it to make it portable if I were to do it on my own?
23:19:40 <Bensawsome> .def the
23:19:40 <GizmoBot> the simple truth is that there is no easy way of creating portable applications. For starters though, read the field guide at http://portableapps.com/node/14868 and look at http://portableapps.com/development
23:20:22 <pa_4927> Cool thank you very much
23:20:25 <JohnTHaller> It's not too hard. see GizmoBot's links for a little. if you wait a week or so, we're gonna have a universal launcher where all you do is fill out a config file and tell it that your software needs this directory and this registry key and it does all the work for you
23:20:25 <Bensawsome> unfortuantely that is the answer :(
23:20:57 <pa_4927> Don't know if I should say it here but what if it's a cracked software?

23:22:12 <Gizmokid2005> well it's true pa_4927. If you portablize it, you can still use it for yourself, granted it'll still be illegal, but we won't be making it portable or posting it to our site.
23:22:12 <pa_4927> Well thank you for the quick response. I appreciate it.
23:22:40 <pa_4927> Oh nice, thanks.
23:22:48 <pa_4927> Once I get money I will donate.
23:23:31 <pa_4927> So a week you say for the universal software?
23:23:39 <JohnTHaller> a week or two
23:23:49 <JohnTHaller> a lot is coming out
23:23:55 <pa_4927> I am glad I found this site
23:25:06 * JohnTHaller is in and out while coding...

23:40:11 <Chazz> JohnTHaller, could you possibly change the download link on http://portableapps.com/node/11137 to nascent-project.org/portableapps/WinPenguins_Portable_1.0.0.6_Development_Test_1_en-us.paf.exe so people will stop complaining that the download doesn't work?
23:40:53 <JohnTHaller> done
