00:50:37 <pa_7866> Help!
00:51:33 <pa_7866> I've just installed portableapps suite recently, was working, but now the folders (documents folder included) keep being set to read-only so the apps won't work.
00:52:01 <pa_7866> I've reset it, but it keeps converting back to read-only.
01:02:35 <gluxon> Try this.
01:02:49 <gluxon> Goto "My Computer"
01:02:54 <gluxon> Right click on your drive.
01:02:59 <gluxon> Click on Properties.
01:03:15 <gluxon> Uncheck "Read Only" <-- if that doens't work, try it with admin privs.
01:03:19 <gluxon> AND if even THAT doesn't work.
01:03:27 <gluxon> Copy all the contents of your drive.
01:03:36 <gluxon> And reformat it. :(
01:07:41 <pa_7866> It's not the normal "propeties" window. Doesn't show an option to set read-only. However, right now I have to join family & company for dinner.
01:08:12 <pa_7866> Frustrating. I'll ask my husband to see if he knows why I can't find the read-only toggle.
01:08:21 <pa_7866> Back in an hour or so. Thanks

16:49:40 <pa_8941> Hello.
16:51:07 <pa_8941> I've a question about OpenOffice.org Portable and UNO services, can anybody help?
16:53:20 <pa_8941> nobody?
16:55:20 <pa_8941> help!
16:55:21 <GizmoBot> pa_8941: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom. Ask your question and someone should be able to help you shortly. If you still don't get an answer, try posting on the forums: http://portableapps.com/forums
16:57:15 <MaienM> pa_8941: I've never heard of UNO services so I'm afraid I'll be of little help, but feel free to ask
16:58:17 <pa_8941> Well the question is exaclty if UNO services are available in Portable OpenOffice. They are in standard OpenOffice but relies on some registry information to work properly.
16:59:00 <pa_8941> UNO Services are a kind of API for OpenOffice automation
16:59:20 <MaienM> is it something integrated into OpenOffice.org or is it an plugin for it?
16:59:40 <pa_8941> They are integrated into OOo
17:02:36 <pa_8941> U still here?
17:02:47 <MaienM> I really don't know, I can't find any info about it on our forums
17:03:46 <pa_8941> It's not new to me, I've looked the forums before trying the chat...
17:04:42 <pa_8941> Is there any chance to get in contact with some of the developer who made OOo portable? They sure know this.
17:04:48 <MaienM> well, I never heard of it before and cannot find anything about it so I'm afraid I cannot give you an clear answer :(
17:04:51 <MaienM> hmm, lemme check
17:09:11 <MaienM> it looks like OO.org is made portable by JTH himself, whoms email can be found on the contact us page: http://portableapps.com/about/contact
17:10:20 <pa_8941> I'm looking...
17:10:41 *** Gizmokid2005|AFK is now known as Gizmokid2005
17:12:17 <pa_8941> Can't find the e-mail. Is it developers_developers@portableapps.com
17:13:17 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8941: that's the email
17:13:21 <Gizmokid2005> but the UNO services should work
17:13:26 <Gizmokid2005> if they are included by default in OO.org
17:14:57 <pa_8941> So I also think. The problem, for me, is how to invoke them. I've to access them in a .NET apps. With the standard version of OOo there are information on the system I can use, with the portable I don't know where to put my hands...:-P
17:15:17 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8941: it should be the same, just change the paths accordingly
17:16:43 <pa_8941> That's the core problem. I don't use any path at all. It's windows that knows that OOo is installed in it and I access UNO services by windows objects. If u are not familiar with Win programming probably u won't understand this...
17:17:01 <Gizmokid2005> IT should work then.
17:17:05 <Gizmokid2005> I do understand
17:17:34 <Gizmokid2005> but it should work as the local installed would. If you can't get it to work, it would be best to post in the appropriate forum
17:18:27 <pa_8941> I've done it already some days ago. Having no reply I've tryed here.
17:19:14 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8941: http://portableapps.com/node/21074 there?
17:19:21 <pa_8941> U should find a post on OpenOffice.org forum from user Stojilcoviz
17:19:36 <pa_8941> Exactly
17:21:20 <Gizmokid2005> If it's trying to run on services that are setup with OO.org it won't work.
17:21:39 <Gizmokid2005> Our apps don't install and run services, it defeats the purpose of what we do, plus services require admin access
17:23:20 <pa_8941> Well, the term UNO "Services" is misused here (but SUN calls them in that way). They are not Windows Services but rather functions of OOo and UNO is the OOo API.
17:27:01 <pa_8941> Chack here: http://api.openoffice.org/

17:28:08 <pa_8941> and here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=9
17:28:11 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8941: from what I can tell, at least the C++ reference uses registry keys to pull the pertinent information
17:28:22 <Gizmokid2005> which OO.org Portable should be taking care of
17:29:43 <Gizmokid2005> but even with all this, it's hard to see exactly how you are trying to call things, and how it should be working. My best suggestion is to post a new thread in the forum, put as much info as you can in it, as to what you are trying to do, any errors you get, how it should be working, etc, and John or another dev/user might be able to help.
17:29:58 <Gizmokid2005> I don't use OO.org that much, and especially the UNO api.
17:30:46 <pa_8941> hum...I know somethin is implemented cause I've found many dll related to this into the portable version. I'll try to put up a new thread then.
17:31:04 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, like I said, it should work
17:31:16 <Gizmokid2005> when we portablize things, they should work just like the local versions, unless otherwise noted.
17:32:10 <pa_8941> kk. Hope to see some reply on the forums then. Thanks for your help. :-)
