10:32:31 <pa_5638> hi
10:33:15 <pa_5638> can i install any software with portableapps ?
10:33:35 <MaienM|Sleep> pa_5638: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#addingapps
10:33:54 <MaienM|Sleep> oh, sorry, I misread your question
10:34:13 <MaienM|Sleep> yes, in theory you can install any software to it, but not all software might work
10:34:35 <MaienM|Sleep> some non-portable software may require, for example, .NET which not all computers have
10:34:52 <MaienM|Sleep> and most non-portable software will leave settings behind
10:35:26 <pa_5638> i have softare .. i want to install it to be portable .. can i ?
10:35:30 <pa_5638> look ...
10:36:22 <MaienM|Sleep> the software won't be made portable by just adding it to the menu, but it might work
10:36:54 <MaienM|Sleep> the only real way to find out if it'll work is to try it
10:37:12 <pa_5638> i try install flock browser ... its wirk .... but i can't put shortcut of this software on portableapps menu
10:37:26 <pa_5638> work*
10:38:14 <MaienM|Sleep> pa_5638: you need to make sure that a .exe file is in an direct subfolder of PortableApps. So, for example you have the menu installed to X:, you would have to have something like X:/PortableApps/Flock/flock.exe
10:38:32 <MaienM|Sleep> the menu will then find that executable (flock.exe) and list it
10:39:19 <pa_5638> ooh i will try now
10:42:45 <pa_5638> look what i do when i click ( install a new app ) .... i browse to my software location .. but i can't find it in window untill i add this ( .paf ) to software name .. then i can see it in window .. is that right ?
10:43:49 <MaienM|Sleep> ah, you are trying to install the app through the menu, is that correct?
10:44:03 <MaienM|Sleep> installing through the menu will only work with apps we released
10:45:35 <pa_5638> yes that what i mean ... how can i install other softwares ?
10:45:40 <MaienM|Sleep> you need to install the application normally, then copy its files (C:/Program Files/Flock or something like that) to the menu (X:/PortableApps/Flock where X: is the drive letter of your portable drive)
10:47:03 <pa_5638> then can i take that software with my flash usb ?
10:48:08 <MaienM|Sleep> maybe, I'm not sure. Some apps will work fine doing this, others don't. It really depends on the app.
10:51:32 <pa_5638> you know some files like history and private data will stored in original windows program files ...then even i copy software folders to portableapps folder ... it work without other data and history
10:54:48 <pa_5638> so i click ( install a new apps ) .. i added ( .paf ) to my software name to be listed in window .... then all my software folders will be in portableapps main folder ... its work nice .... my only problem is make shortcut on portableapps
10:56:57 <pa_5638> you got my point ??
10:57:06 <MaienM|Sleep> well, as I've said, the menu will pick up all .exe files that are in a direct subfolder of X:/PortableApps/
10:57:59 <MaienM|Sleep> so, for example, it will pick up X:/PortableApps/Flock/flock.exe, but it won't pick up X:/PortableApps/Flock/flock/flock.exe
11:05:58 <pa_5638> yes ... i do it . all folders and subfolders in this dir. ( X:/PortableApps/Flock/flock.exe ) .... now i get all history and private data wirh portableapps instead of windows folders ... it work with all softwares just if i add ( .paf ) to it's name ...... its great for me .....with little problem of shortcut ... didn't work
11:06:26 <pa_5638> with *
11:18:12 <pa_5638> i find my mistake ..... i must install in dir. (X:/portableapps\PortableApps ) instead of ( X:/PortableApps/ )
11:20:20 <pa_5638> you give me wrong dir. ...... you got my point ? now in that way i can install any sofware with shortcut
11:20:41 <pa_5638> thanks ..

23:26:24 <Chazz> Not /yet/
23:26:38 <Chazz> Folders are supposed to be in the next platform release though.
23:26:59 <pa_2599> do we have any clue of when that would be?
23:27:41 <Chazz> Nope.
23:27:54 <Chazz> Well... you could ask JohnTHaller
23:28:06 <Chazz> But he's away atm.
23:28:27 <pa_2599> Oh well, i was trying to organize my tech toolkit with the platform but i guess i'll have to attempt it again later, thanks for the help man.
23:28:32 <MaienM> we hope soon, but it we cannot make any guarantees on whether it will be tomorrow or next month, all we can say is, it'll be as soon as possible.
