01:53:28 <ChrisMorgan> Yay! I worked out how to do drivers with ServiceLib.
01:55:14 <ChrisMorgan> It requires a change though... it had "interact" = 0|1 and did bitwise operations to turn 0 into 16 (0x10) and 1 into 272 (0x10 | 0x100). Drivers need to end up with this "type" as 0x1 (1).
01:55:34 <ChrisMorgan> So now Interact --> Type and should be provided with 1, 16 or 272 rather than 0 or 1
01:55:39 <ChrisMorgan> *ahhh*

02:36:58 <ChrisMorgan> Well... I /think/ I'm done with NewServiceLib.nsh for the moment. Now to integrate it into PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi.

02:46:19 <sar3th|zZz> now i imported the project into qt creator..i still need to find where startmenu items are created
02:47:27 <sar3th|zZz> super, what does this comment mean?
02:47:28 <sar3th|zZz> / @TODO: where to handle desktop icons creating
02:48:04 <ChrisMorgan> Nice.
02:48:35 <computerfreaker> if it's that bad, make sure you record this stuff for The Daily WTF
02:50:36 <sar3th|zZz> computerfreaker: it's not really bad, but i'd liek to know where the shortcuts are actually created ;)
02:51:33 <ChrisMorgan> sar3th|zZz: grep startmenu *
02:51:36 <computerfreaker> try searching for a method with a name containing "Desktop" or "Shortcut"
02:54:24 <sar3th|zZz> i found out that you can suppress the creation of start menu entries entirely :)
02:54:40 *** tarbo (~me@unaffiliated/tarbo) has joined #portableapps
02:55:25 <ChrisMorgan> sar3th|zZz: it would be more helpful it the applications could be used from the Platform though :-)
02:56:02 <sar3th|zZz> yeah, but in order to do that, we want to have no start menu entries, don't we?
02:56:09 <ChrisMorgan> Sure.
02:56:59 <ChrisMorgan> I imagine you'd want to just make an if statement: if the environment variable KDEPortable is set, run this code, otherwise you can run the start menu stuff.
02:58:01 <sar3th|zZz> installDir()+"/etc/installer.ini"
02:58:28 <sar3th|zZz> or just put the override switch in there
02:58:38 <ChrisMorgan> You also want to disable the install directory selection field.
02:59:46 <ChrisMorgan> Do something like have an environment variable KDEPortableInstallLocation which when set disallows choice of installation location and writes to an INI file rather than the start menu
03:00:12 <ChrisMorgan> Its own installation log could possibly be useful except for the fact that it would require too much modification inside the PortableApps.com Platform

19:14:59 <computerfreaker> pa_8186: what application?
19:15:22 <pa_8186> Not an application but for things like shortcuts
19:15:46 <computerfreaker> I don't think you can create relative shortcuts, actually
19:16:36 <pa_8186> b/c I've seen stuff like %PAFAPP% %currdir% %installdir% and such that work on any drive letter
19:16:59 <computerfreaker> that's generally in a program's INI file, telling it where to find certain resources
19:17:12 <computerfreaker> however, I'm pretty sure shortcuts don't support relative paths
19:18:44 <pa_8186> :(
19:19:13 <pa_8186> Also when can I expect the 2.0 suite?

21:02:28 <JohnTHaller> Gizmokid2005: Yeah, side effect of the broken newsletter sender. About 12,000 went out like that unfortunately.
21:02:34 <Gizmokid2005> Wow.
21:02:44 <Bensawsome> o_o
21:02:46 <JohnTHaller> I'm not gonna resend them, though.
21:02:46 <Bensawsome> thats not good

21:02:49 <Gizmokid2005> I wouldn't
21:02:53 <Bensawsome> i got one like that too ._.
21:02:57 <Gizmokid2005> everything works and all the formatting you wanted is in there
21:03:00 <Gizmokid2005> it just ALSO showed the tags.
21:03:15 <JohnTHaller> It's mostly early subscribers, since they go out first.
21:06:03 <JohnTHaller> Actually looks like 20,000 :-(
21:06:19 <JohnTHaller> I think I'm gonna have to take the site offline and rebuild the drupal database this weekend.
21:06:34 <Gizmokid2005> JohnTHaller: why do you always have so many problems with Drupal's DB?
21:07:39 <JohnTHaller> We had a partially-borked upgrade a while back and it made it flaky... it died 1/2 way through with no way to tell what was and wasn't done. There's no way to analyze or fix it.

21:17:10 <sar3th> does that mean we'll have some website downtime?

21:19:35 <computerfreaker> hi SteveLamerton!
21:19:37 <SteveLamerton> Hello Gizmokid2005, JohnTHaller, MaienM, computerfreaker, all
21:19:43 <Gizmokid2005> hello SteveLamerton
21:19:49 <MaienM> hello SteveLamerton
21:20:01 <JohnTHaller> hi steve
21:21:30 <SteveLamerton> JohnTHaller: Did you get my mail? Everything arrived fine!
21:22:46 <JohnTHaller> SteveLamerton: Yeah, I did. Glad to hear. I made a mention of it in the newsletter which is in the process of going out now: http://portableapps.com/node/22430
21:23:56 <SteveLamerton> I am basically famous :O
21:24:01 <JohnTHaller> Yup :-)
21:25:59 <SteveLamerton> JohnTHaller: Do you thinkI should put just the plain platofrm on the drives or the suite?
21:26:06 <JohnTHaller> Suite 1.6
21:26:24 <SteveLamerton> Just what I thought, thanks :)
21:26:28 <JohnTHaller> It's the reason I spring for 2gb drives. So there was plenty of room for the suite and the user's stuff/
21:26:42 <SteveLamerton> Yeah, thats what I figured

21:34:40 <JohnTHaller> Ok, so the newsletter is finally going out properly after much hackage. I'm working on Dia an those other updates and then posting 2.0b4 which is just 1.6 with theming back on and sar3th's fix for the systray icon show/hide
21:35:20 <Gizmokid2005> YAY!
21:38:50 <Bensawsome> cooooooool
21:40:02 <computerfreaker> question for you guys
21:40:50 <computerfreaker> I created a PAF build of XN Resource Editor (http://portableapps.com/node/22426), but somebody else already made one. Should I take mine down?
21:47:14 <SteveLamerton> computerfreaker: I vote leave it, the other one hasnt been commented on for 6 months or so
21:47:22 <computerfreaker> ok
21:47:34 <computerfreaker> thanks, SteveLamerton
21:47:37 <JohnTHaller> I was actually gonna go stable with the old one even with the vista icon issue
21:47:50 <JohnTHaller> It got fleshed out well testing wise and just had a couple minor bugs
21:47:50 <computerfreaker> JohnTHaller: so should I take down my new one?
21:48:04 <JohnTHaller> if the old one is stable... why do a new one? who did the old one anyway?
21:48:09 <computerfreaker> if you want, I can take my new one down - it's had no testing AFAIK
21:48:28 <Oni-Neoxes> Woo SteveLamerton, Hope you do terrific at the FOSDEM 2010
21:48:42 <SteveLamerton> Thanks Oni-Neoxes :D
21:48:45 <computerfreaker> and btw, JohnTHaller, I didn't know there was an old one when I made my new one
21:49:11 <JohnTHaller> oh, powerjuce did the old one. and there was a comment about one bug at the end that was never addressed.
21:50:29 <computerfreaker> so, JohnTHaller, what do you want me to do? Whatever you want is what I'll do
21:50:47 <JohnTHaller> I'd actually say start with the old one, add the patch and have it be a new dev test if you'd like. I'm guessing powerjuce isn't gonna do anything with it. And if he'd like to, he can take it back over. As long as that patch fixes the bug, we can release it (with the caveat about vista icons). Actually is some delphi person can just recompile it to ignore those image types, that would be perfect.

21:51:23 <computerfreaker> ok, I'll start with the old one then
21:52:46 <JohnTHaller> alright, cool
21:52:56 <JohnTHaller> i'm gonna run for a bit, but i'll be back on later

22:25:40 <computerfreaker> sure, Portablenewbie. What's up?
22:26:36 <Portablenewbie> hey. I am trying to organize the files in the menu of portableapps
22:26:45 <Portablenewbie> but I am not succeeding in it
22:26:56 <Portablenewbie> is it even possible?
22:27:15 <computerfreaker> Just a second, let me check
22:29:51 <computerfreaker> Portablenewbie: it doesn't seem to be possible, sorry
22:29:59 <computerfreaker> http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite
22:30:05 <computerfreaker> did you try right-clicking the files?
22:30:13 <computerfreaker> there might be an option in the contextual menu
22:30:31 <Portablenewbie> I am trying, but the only things I see are like hiding programs
22:30:58 <computerfreaker> I guess it isn't possible at the moment then, sorry
22:31:02 <Gizmokid2005> you mean organize as in categories Portablenewbie?
22:31:20 <Portablenewbie> yes
22:31:29 <Portablenewbie> like the same as on the website
22:31:36 <Portablenewbie> like office, internet etc
22:31:44 <Portablenewbie> and then sub categories
22:31:45 <Gizmokid2005> Portablenewbie: it's coming in the next release 2.0
22:31:49 <Portablenewbie> ah ok
22:32:06 <Portablenewbie> good thing to look forward at

23:34:41 <gluxon> Hey :)
23:35:05 <computerfreaker> What's up? :)
23:35:10 <gluxon> Nothing :)
23:35:18 <gluxon> Check out this :) --> http://gnome-look.org/
23:35:22 <gluxon> First two items :)
23:36:15 <computerfreaker> nice work!
23:36:50 <gluxon> Thanks :)
23:37:03 <ChrisMorgan> computerfreaker: AutoHotkey doesn't get as many false positives as AutoIt
23:37:07 <ChrisMorgan> But still lots.
23:37:21 <ChrisMorgan> But eXpresso is the sort of thing which would be a /lot/ harder to do in any other language than AutoHotkey.
23:37:25 <sar3th> i somewhat prefer the autoit syntax
23:37:54 <computerfreaker> ChrisMorgan: the AV FP's are still the problem, right?
23:38:10 <ChrisMorgan> Yes
23:38:33 <computerfreaker> so is my post OK, or should I edit it?
23:39:23 <ChrisMorgan> It's correct.
23:39:27 <ChrisMorgan> I was just informin gyou more
23:39:32 <computerfreaker> oh, thank you
23:39:37 <computerfreaker> I had wondered if I said something wrong
23:39:43 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: but what does that yucky blob /do/?
23:39:53 <ChrisMorgan> You've already got the real menus up the top.
23:40:17 <gluxon> I just ported two Lee-Soft themes for GnoMenu :)
23:40:31 <gluxon> You know, like ViOrb and ViGlance? :D
23:41:07 <gluxon> And it's not a yucky blob :/
23:41:48 <ChrisMorgan> What does it /do/ though when you click on it?
23:42:05 <computerfreaker> gluxon: I reckon it depends on your personal taste
23:42:15 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: oh :P
23:42:21 <gluxon> Opens up the GnoMenu :D
23:42:33 * ChrisMorgan now has to work out what GnoMenu is
23:42:35 <computerfreaker> I like the look, but think it's mostly eye candy and that something less attractive (and less RAM-hogging) would be nicer to have
23:42:36 <gluxon> https://launchpad.net/gnomenu
23:42:38 <computerfreaker> .g GnoMenu
23:42:38 <GizmoBot> computerfreaker: http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/GnoMenu+-+consolidated+menu+for+gnome?content=93056
23:42:56 <ChrisMorgan> Looks far too Windowsish
23:43:10 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: Alt+F2
23:43:15 <computerfreaker> .title
23:43:17 <GizmoBot> computerfreaker: GnoMenu - consolidated menu for gnome GTK-Apps.org
23:43:19 <ChrisMorgan> That's all you ever need.
23:43:35 <ChrisMorgan> (Alt+F2 is the equivalent of Windows+R)
23:43:38 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: I already knew about that :/
23:43:43 <ChrisMorgan> Except it's better.
23:43:52 <gluxon> And I changed it to Super L + R :P
23:43:59 <ChrisMorgan> :O
23:44:01 <ChrisMorgan> :o
23:44:03 <ChrisMorgan> :-O
23:44:05 <ChrisMorgan> :-o
23:44:06 <gluxon> Just easier to reach, and I've already gotten too used it it :'(
23:44:42 <ChrisMorgan> Well I use Alt+F1 and Alt+F2... and so I created a new one, Alt+F3, to open gnome-terminal
23:45:16 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: So you use ubuntu, right :)
23:45:20 <ChrisMorgan> Yep
23:45:49 <gluxon> Oh hey, The third PortableApps.com Newsletter is here :)
23:46:26 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: it's not the third. There were earlier ones before it started getting sent out.
23:46:39 <ChrisMorgan> emailed out
23:47:21 <gluxon> What are you talking about >_<
23:47:25 <gluxon> They're all right here :P
23:47:25 <gluxon> http://portableapps.com/taxonomy/term/42
23:47:47 <ChrisMorgan> Some earlier ones were not tagged.
23:48:07 <ChrisMorgan> And not quite labelled as newsletters. "Status updates" or similar I think they were
23:48:08 <gluxon> Oh.
23:49:01 <ChrisMorgan> But I will concede after all that it's the third newsletter.
23:49:53 <gluxon> :)
23:50:28 <computerfreaker> ChrisMorgan: could I consult you for a few moments?
23:50:46 <ChrisMorgan> Sure, my official consulting rate is $150/hr.
23:50:48 <ChrisMorgan> ;-)
23:50:50 <computerfreaker> lol
23:50:52 <ChrisMorgan> Ask away :-)
23:50:55 <computerfreaker> sorry, I don't have that much on me
23:51:17 <ChrisMorgan> Did you know that I've handled $100,000,000,000,000?
23:51:26 <computerfreaker> O_O
23:51:30 <sar3th> omg that's over 9000!
23:51:34 <ChrisMorgan> Quite seriously, and entirely literally.
23:51:39 <computerfreaker> wow.
23:51:44 <ChrisMorgan> One hundred trillion dollars.
23:52:05 <ChrisMorgan> One note.
23:52:08 <computerfreaker> hard to imagine that kind of cash.
23:52:09 <ChrisMorgan> Zimbabwe dollars.
23:52:33 <ChrisMorgan> Equivalent at the time of printing to about AU$7, and by the time I saw it under $1
23:52:54 <ChrisMorgan> Something like 1c I think was suggested.
23:53:08 <gluxon> ^
23:53:08 <gluxon> |
23:53:08 <gluxon> |
23:53:09 <gluxon> Loser :P
23:53:28 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: JK :D
23:53:31 <ChrisMorgan> Having an official (official) inflation rate of 231,000,000% is not something which is helpful to making money worth much.
23:53:38 <ChrisMorgan> And unofficially it's in the billions...
23:53:48 <computerfreaker> wow... that inflation is insane
23:53:59 <ChrisMorgan> Nevertheless, a $100,000,000,000,000 note is pretty impressive to talk about ;-)
23:54:05 <computerfreaker> definitely
23:55:03 <gluxon> That's about 666666666666.666666667 hours of consulting :P
23:55:21 <computerfreaker> I'm working on ThunderUSB (a screen reader) right now, and it's got 65 data files. In the INIBackup section, should I go through and backup each file separately, or should I just overwrite any existing data files?
23:56:16 <gluxon> computerfreaker: Aren't they all in the same folder?
23:56:29 <computerfreaker> forgot to mention, the data files are all stored in the ThunderUSB folder
23:56:57 <computerfreaker> gluxon: yes, but backing them up the usual way (DataFile.ini becomes DataFile-BackupByPortableApp.ini) would take a *lot* of code
23:57:18 <gluxon> Where are they located?
23:57:23 <ChrisMorgan> computerfreaker: use the PortableApps.com Launcher.
23:57:34 <gluxon> [X]:\PortableApps\somethignsomething\App\ThunderUSB?
23:57:38 <gluxon> NO! :D
23:57:39 <computerfreaker> gluxon: yes
23:57:43 <gluxon> Ah.
23:57:49 <gluxon> Any conflicting INI's?
23:57:56 <computerfreaker> ChrisMorgan: ok. Should I get it from the repository or the PA thread?
23:58:00 <computerfreaker> gluxon: nope
23:58:04 <gluxon> Okay.
23:58:06 <gluxon> So try this.
23:58:19 <ChrisMorgan> computerfreaker: if you want to test running as admin, get it from the repo, otherwise the Pre-Alpha release is fine
23:58:28 <gluxon> CopyFiles /s "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\*.ini" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\*.ini" :D
23:58:44 <gluxon> Wait now.
23:58:53 <gluxon> CopyFiles /s "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\*.ini" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
23:58:55 <ChrisMorgan> You may be able to have a [FilesMove] value Data\settings\*.ini=App\ThunderUSB but I haven't tried it. You may need to do each one individually
23:58:56 <computerfreaker> ChrisMorgan: no need to try running as admin for this app, it's already fully-portable (just not in PA format)
23:59:01 <gluxon> *Wait no
23:59:03 <ChrisMorgan> I expected so.
23:59:12 <computerfreaker> gluxon: I don't think you understand
23:59:50 <gluxon> Why?
23:59:54 <computerfreaker> gluxon: I have the data files in the settings folder; I'm trying to get them into the app folder without overwriting any pre-existing data files
