00:30:17 <vf2nsr> Evening Script
00:32:25 <sar3th> evening vf2nsr
00:32:47 <Scriptdaemon> 'Ello vf2nsr.
00:33:05 <vf2nsr> HI sar3th
00:33:20 <vf2nsr> Sorry about last night scriptdaemon
00:33:30 <Scriptdaemon> Sorry for what?
00:33:41 <vf2nsr> I got a bit hot under collar,
00:33:57 <vf2nsr> I released 3 releases and not a word yet 65 downloads
00:34:09 <vf2nsr> and first word were yours and guess I wasnt ready for that
00:36:05 <vf2nsr> think I getting hang of it though?
00:36:15 <Scriptdaemon> I didn't mean to seem like I was being tough on you (well, I was, but the point is I was trying to help you learn). I'm taking another look at it right now to make sure it gets finalized.
00:36:18 <Scriptdaemon> Absolutely.
00:36:37 <vf2nsr> ok btw have you actually run it?
00:36:48 <vf2nsr> or you just looking at the formatting?
00:37:03 <Scriptdaemon> Before I had not the time, so I just made sure I looked at the obvious things first.
00:37:08 <Scriptdaemon> Running it now.
00:37:15 <vf2nsr> oh ok np
00:39:23 <Scriptdaemon> Alright, important thing. Since I'm not the one doing this app I don't know how savings its settings works within the app itself, but a user directory is left inside App/RedNotebook. That should be moved to Data (I looked at default.cfg and it looked like that should have taken care of it, but I guess not).
00:39:30 <Scriptdaemon> saving*
00:39:55 <vf2nsr> Yes by default however most of the data is empty in default user
00:40:11 <vf2nsr> the actual data is saved to Data/user....I think
00:40:27 <Scriptdaemon> It's not.
00:40:36 <vf2nsr> No?
00:40:43 <Scriptdaemon> Let me take another look at default.cfg
00:40:47 <vf2nsr> ok
00:41:11 <vf2nsr> Also try restarting it again and look in data/user please
00:41:46 <vf2nsr> I may have to look at the python code to verify the tmp and other directory name I might have that wrong?
00:42:11 <Scriptdaemon> I think it's a much simpler solution. One moment.
00:45:17 <Scriptdaemon> Hmm. Are you sure dataDir, templatesDir,
00:45:17 <Scriptdaemon> tmpDir, and userDir are the correct settings?
00:45:43 <vf2nsr> data is noit sure about other 2 am going to double check
00:46:39 *** vf2nsr_ (~chatzilla@cpe-76-179-15-53.maine.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps
00:46:49 <vf2nsr_> odd
00:46:54 <vf2nsr_> I back
00:47:02 <vf2nsr_> or at least in this nick lol
00:49:56 <Scriptdaemon> Where is the documentation for the default.cfg file?
00:49:58 *** vf2nsr has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
00:50:05 *** vf2nsr_ is now known as vf2nsr
00:50:51 <vf2nsr> There actually is noe that I am aware of it was part of the program, in talking ot the creator he explained how to change the data dir
00:51:04 <vf2nsr> However I may have just figured out the rest?
00:51:10 <vf2nsr> looking at source code now
00:51:23 <vf2nsr> generally the cfg is not esitted by end user
00:52:08 <Scriptdaemon> At first I thought it was incorrect that you were using ./ instead of ../, but when I changed that there was no difference.
00:52:22 <Scriptdaemon> .. means parent directory.
00:53:02 <Scriptdaemon> What does the default default.cfg file look like?
00:53:10 <vf2nsr> hang second
00:54:08 <vf2nsr> shoot me a pm?
00:54:36 <vf2nsr> or you wantr me to pastebinit?
00:54:50 <Scriptdaemon> Pastebin, if you could please. It'd be easier.
00:55:46 <vf2nsr> actually you see where it says portable =1?
00:56:15 <Scriptdaemon> I do.
00:58:41 <vf2nsr> http://pastebin.com/8ksHHQc0 ok everything after that is mine
00:58:53 <vf2nsr> there is the original with a note at bottom I just added
01:00:04 <Scriptdaemon> Ah. Hmm.
01:02:56 <Scriptdaemon> I'm a bit stumped on this one. You'll have to ask the author of Rednotebook, it doesn't seem to be doing what it should.
01:03:26 <vf2nsr> np I checking a few more things I htink I may have it found
01:03:32 <vf2nsr> other than that all ok?
01:03:42 <Scriptdaemon> Looking.

04:40:46 <Horusofoz> Not infallible though. Missing a period at the end of the second paragraph :p

05:18:41 * Gizmokid2005 waves at rmccue
05:18:53 <rmccue> Hi Gizmokid2005
05:19:14 <Gizmokid2005> how're you this fine (late eve'/early morn' over here).
05:19:18 <Gizmokid2005> s/./?
05:21:06 <rmccue> I'm well. How goes it with you?
05:22:10 <Gizmokid2005> Meh, it's been better. My brother went to the hospital tonight for running his fingers into a table saw...so I've got my younger sisters here since my parents were with him...
05:22:26 <Gizmokid2005> but I got my truck completely fixed today, and everything else is going alright...so.
05:22:53 <rmccue> Yeah, so I heard.
05:22:57 <rmccue> Sucks though.
05:23:51 <Gizmokid2005> Yeah. Been worse, been better. He's doing well, not too much damage per the hand specialist. And he's actually on his way home with my parents (if not already there)...he's drugged up pretty good, but they think everything is AOK, save for one fingernail that'll probably never grow back right.
05:25:20 <rmccue> I have a friend who almost cut a finger off with a saw.
05:26:09 <JohnTHaller> a fingernail is a small loss in a run in with a table saw.
05:26:12 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, it's quite the scary ordeal. the irony of it all, is he's been in woods and metals shop for the last 3 years in school...so he's not new to using one...he just slipped. He's not even sure how it happened and was pretty embarassed that it happen.
05:26:23 <Gizmokid2005> JohnTHaller: yep. A far cry from how much worse it could've been.
05:26:31 <JohnTHaller> Anyone can slip. Literally anyone.
05:26:36 <Gizmokid2005> he did chip the bone in his middle finger ever so slightly, the rest was just flesh wound though.
05:26:37 <Gizmokid2005> yep.
05:26:53 <JohnTHaller> That's the whole reason they have these things now: http://www.sawstop.com/howitworks/videos.php
05:27:02 <Gizmokid2005> Yep.
05:27:05 <Gizmokid2005> I was just going to mention that.
05:27:12 <Gizmokid2005> it's very cool technology.
05:27:21 <Gizmokid2005> and I can't wait until it's more mainstream.
05:27:34 <JohnTHaller> yeah. hopefully more folks will but it and the price will come down
05:27:47 <Gizmokid2005> yep.
05:28:20 <Gizmokid2005> but all in all, he's doing good. Just gonna be a bit sore, a big ding to his ego. But he's alright, still all in one piece. Best outcome we could've hoped for.
05:29:35 <qwertymodo> a guy in my school chopped off his whole finger once. the doctors sewed it on ever so slightly crooked.
05:29:48 <Gizmokid2005> i tell you what, it's quite the adrenaline rush to hear it come across the pager. being on the department I am, I hear all medical/fire calls in town, and hearing a priority 1 medical to my parent's house is something else. Not the best way to find out about it. Luckily I live around the corner so it's only seconds for me to get there...
05:30:15 <JohnTHaller> yeah
05:33:02 <Gizmokid2005> anyways, been a very eventful day. I'm going to try to combat my allergies enough to get some sleep. Cya'll later.
05:33:09 <rmccue> Cya.

18:21:20 <Simeon> What do you need?
18:21:44 <Lily> got some problem with updating my version of thunderbird portable
18:21:56 <Simeon> what exactly
18:22:31 <Simeon> did it stop working?
18:23:20 <Lily> no... but I installed the uodate... and it says the upsate will keep your data from the old version... but it doesnt semm to work out
18:23:42 <Simeon> do you have the data in the usual place?
18:26:06 <Lily> I guess thats the problem... I cant work out in which place my old version is located. I usually start it by calling up the portableapps start menu, but I cant find a directory for it
18:27:26 <Simeon> the new Thunderbird overwrites everything in your old thunderbird portable folder (X:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable) except for the /Data folder which is where your personal data is/should be stored
18:32:42 <Lily> thats what I thought, but when I enter this as destination folder for installing the new version, it tells me that the folder is invalid
18:34:09 <Simeon> it should find the installation folder automatically. How do you have your portableapps set up? Classical folder layout (=X:/PortableApps/AppNamePortable) or something else.
18:37:38 <Lily> i thought i had the classical folder layout. but apparently I havent
18:37:49 <Simeon> whats yours?
18:38:28 <Lily> no idea... how can I find out?
18:38:50 <Simeon> do you have the menu installed to the root of your drive?
18:40:29 <Lily> what do you mean?
18:40:58 <Simeon> the classical layout is that you have StartPortableApps.exe and 2 folders called Documents and PortableApps in the root of your drive.
18:41:35 <Simeon> the Documents folder includes 3 folders called Pictures, Videos and Music.
18:42:13 <Simeon> The PortableApps folder contains all your portable Apps, each in a separate folder named AppnamePortable where Appname is the name of the App i.e. Thunderbird.
18:44:01 <Lily> no... mine doesnt. I dont have a folder named ThunderbirdPortable. I can reach the app only by calling up StartPortableApps
18:45:12 <Simeon> weired. lets find out the path to the app. What version of the menu do you have? It should display it in the About window
18:51:37 <Lily> um... it says Version: 1.0.0.0 Description: Start PortableApps Copyright: John T. Haller etcetera
18:52:28 <Simeon> ok.thats a rather old version you might want to upgrade. Do you see anything if you hover over an entry in the menu?
18:52:29 <JohnTHaller> You need to upgrade your platform first of all, it's over 2 years old :-)
18:52:52 <Simeon> glad you join us John. Im a little lost here.
18:53:15 <JohnTHaller> I'm not on for long.... rough day here.
18:53:48 <Simeon> did you read the log? D'you have any hints?
18:54:30 <Lily> so I need to look for an update for... what exactly? StartPortableApps?
18:54:34 <JohnTHaller> Need to browse to X:\Portableapps and see what he sees. I'd recommend a platform upgrade first so we can better see what is where. 1.0 doesn't support PAF and has no hover states.
18:54:59 <JohnTHaller> What does your menu look like? If you click Help and then About does it say 1.0?
18:55:56 <Lily> if I click help, I cant even choose About. Im directed to the support page of portableapps
18:56:25 <JohnTHaller> Your menu doesn't support folders or anything does it? Just making sure you're using an official one and not a mod.
18:57:09 <Lily> I dont think it does
18:57:41 <JohnTHaller> Ok, if you go to the root directory of your drive, do you see StartPortableApps.exe and then a Documents and a PortableApps folder?
18:58:58 <Lily> yes
18:59:09 <JohnTHaller> click into the PortableApps folder. What do you see in there?
19:00:53 <Lily> some folders... all named like AppnamePortable. but no ThunderbirdPortable
19:01:45 <JohnTHaller> Then it can't be appearing in your menu if its not there. It doesn't work from anywhere else. Did you check inside all the folders to make sure none of them are actually thunderbird portable with the folder accidentally renamed?>
19:01:57 <JohnTHaller> You can tell because it will have ThunderbirdPortable.exe within there
19:02:18 <Simeon> I'd do an update of the Suite first. Go to http://portableapps.com/download and download Platform only.
19:04:16 <Lily> this is really weird... I dont have anything named ThunderbirdPortable.exe (even if I do a search on it!) but this is not possible since I use the app all the time...

19:04:23 <Lily> thanks simeon
19:04:32 <Lily> Ill try that
19:04:41 <Simeon> ok.
19:10:32 <Lily> so now I got this update installed... and what now?
19:10:44 <JohnTHaller> run the menu
19:10:53 <Simeon> run it and hover over the ThunderbirdPortable entry. It should tell you where it is.
19:11:55 <Lily> ah... I see
19:12:17 <Lily> and now I have to enter this as the destination folder for installing the new version of thunderbird?
19:12:30 <Simeon> what is it.
19:12:40 <Simeon> whats the path to thunderbird portable?
19:13:53 <Lily> X:/PortableApps/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable
19:14:22 <Simeon> are there any more folders inside X:/PortableApps/PortableApps?
19:14:32 <JohnTHaller> Ah, you accidentally installed it one too deep at some point

19:15:59 *** ptmb_ (~PTMblogge@a83-132-129-116.cpe.netcabo.pt) has joined #portableapps
19:16:58 <Lily> it says X:/PortableApps/PortableApps/AppnamePortable for all the apps in the menu
19:16:59 *** ptmb_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
19:17:24 *** ptmb__ (~PTMblogge@a83-132-129-116.cpe.netcabo.pt) has joined #portableapps
19:17:26 <JohnTHaller> Ah. Yeah, when you did the original install, you installed the whole thing to X:\PortableApps instead of X:\
19:17:57 <Simeon> ah then copy the whole X:/PortableApps/PortableApps/ folder to X:/
19:18:20 <JohnTHaller> You should be able to move the whole thing up one level by renaming X:\PortableApps to X:\PortableAppsOld and then moving the PortableApps folder in X:\PortableAppsOld to X:\
19:18:40 <Simeon> You should end up with X:/PortableApps/SomethingPortable
19:18:44 <JohnTHaller> A couple things may lose settings (like a couple Firefox extensions. Possibly a minor app)
19:18:55 *** ptmb has quit (Disconnected by services)
19:19:07 *** ptmb__ is now known as ptmb
19:22:12 <Lily> um... problem being that in PortableAppsOld, there is one hell of a lot of things... being Documents, PortableApps, Autorun, Countdown, PStart, and StartPortableApps (and dont ask me how they happen to be there)
19:25:07 <Simeon> you can delete STARTPortableApps, autorun and the documents folder if empty. Dunno what the Countdown thing is
19:25:48 <Lily> neither do I
19:25:55 <Simeon> then delete it
19:27:00 <Simeon> and copy all the SomethingPortable folders to X:/PortableApps
19:27:18 <Lily> even though there is no ThunderbirdPortable?
19:27:54 <Simeon> You just said Thunderbird was inside X:/PortableApps/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable
19:28:30 <Lily> it says so if I hover over the entry in the menu. but if I go to the folder, it isnt ther
19:29:27 <Simeon> Does it still say that in the menu after you click Options-Refresh App Icons?
19:30:06 <Lily> yes
19:30:20 <Simeon> and when you go there its empty?
19:30:55 <Lily> not empty... there are some folders named AppnamePortable, but not for Thunderbird
19:31:57 <Simeon> afaik the menu only says the exe is in ThunderbirdPortable if that folder really exists...weird.
19:32:34 <Lily> yes... weird it is
19:34:04 <Simeon> do you have any other folders inside X:/PoerableApps/PortableApps excpt folders called anythingPortable
19:36:06 <Lily> only one... called 7-Zip. and inside that one, there is a folder named 7-ZipPortable.
19:36:41 <Simeon> your folder structure is pretty messed up (no offense - we're gonna fix it)
19:36:58 <Simeon> copy the 7-ZipPortable to where the other anythingPortable folders are
19:37:44 <Lily> yes
19:37:48 <Lily> ah.. funny thing
19:37:59 <Lily> now there is another folder... named PortableApps.com
19:38:08 <Simeon> whats inside
19:38:09 <Lily> I dont get it
19:39:00 <Lily> inside... App, Data, Other, PortableAppsBackup, PortableAppsBackupRestore, PortableAppsPlatform and readme
19:39:15 <Simeon> ok thats find thats the old menu
19:39:47 <Simeon> You copied the 7ZIpPortable folder right?
19:39:59 <Lily> yes
19:40:11 <Simeon> then copy all the anythingPortable folders to X:/PortableApps
19:41:06 <Lily> okay.... that will take some time
19:41:12 <Simeon> thats ok
19:43:59 <sar3th> wow, quite busy i see
19:44:22 <Simeon> and complicated too.
19:49:48 <Lily> right... copied the folders
19:55:58 <Simeon> You should reinstall the Menu cause I think you overwrote it.
19:56:24 <Lily> the new version or the old one?
19:56:46 <Simeon> did you overwrite the new one with the old one?
19:57:01 <Lily> I thought thats what I did
19:57:16 <Lily> its what John told me to do, isnt it
19:57:34 <Simeon> so you have to reinstall the new one. delete the X:/PortableApps/PortableApps.com folder and reinstall.
20:00:12 <Lily> so whats my destination folder now?
20:00:27 <Simeon> for the menu?
20:00:43 <Lily> yes
20:00:44 <Simeon> just the root folder of the drive: X:/
20:00:51 <Simeon> or whatever drive letter you have
20:00:56 <Lily> ah ok
20:02:03 <Lily> wow great... now i havent got any entries in the menu
20:02:39 <Simeon> if you go Options-refresh icons
20:03:23 <Lily> nothing happens
20:03:42 <JohnTHaller> Ok
20:03:45 <JohnTHaller> Close EVERYTHING
20:03:52 <JohnTHaller> (except this chat of course)
20:05:32 <Lily> yes?
20:07:36 <Simeon> John? What was your plan?
20:08:04 <Simeon> Id now start X:/StartPortableApps.exe
20:08:52 <Lily> the menu is still empty
20:09:28 <Simeon> What is inside the X;/Portableapps folder?
20:10:28 *** joby_toss has quit (Quit: Leaving)
20:11:59 <JohnTHaller> My plan was very simple. Rename X:\PortableApps to X:\PortableAppsOld. Move the folder PortableApps inside X:\PortableAppsOld to X:\, making it X:\PortableApps. I never said to delete anything at all.
20:12:59 <JohnTHaller> At that point, X:\PortableApps\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable would not be X:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable. A new install of the PortableApps.com Platform to X:\ (NOT X:\PortableApps) would probably be in order. Then run X:\StartPortableApps.exe and all should be done.
20:13:00 <Lily> I already renamed the folder some time ago when you told me to
20:16:46 <JohnTHaller> Did you follow all the steps in my last two posts EXACTLY? Because that's all you should need to do
20:18:46 <Lily> yes... somehow, it still doesnt work out.
20:19:28 <Lily> anyway... gotta go to work now... I'll try and continue to fix it tomorrow... thanks for your help
20:19:50 <Simeon> ok.
20:20:00 <Simeon> hope you can work it out.
20:20:25 <Lily> I'll try
20:20:30 <Lily> thanks anyway
20:20:38 <Simeon> viel Glück!
20:20:45 <Lily> =)

20:22:58 <Lily> well I know its unusual to go to work now (German time)... but someone has to^^
