01:21:22 <mwortman> Hello and help
01:24:12 <ChrisMorgan> mwortman: what seems to be your problem?
01:24:49 <mwortman> I am new ti Portableapps and have a couple questions
01:26:35 <mwortman> First I loaded Chrome on the flas drive using portable applications and selected it as my default browser. It is also the default browser on my PC. the Portable applications program seems to think Firefox is my default and loads it when ever I need help.
01:27:19 <mwortman> I would like to only have on browser but I am afraid to remove firefox
01:28:44 <mwortman> Also I am having jerky video play with the VLC player and want to know if any progress has been made with Miro or some such.
01:28:46 *** rouilj has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
01:30:38 <ChrisMorgan> You should not set a portable browser as your default browser. Then it isn't portable at all.
01:31:07 <ChrisMorgan> Then it's just a mess.
01:31:57 <mwortman> OK, I mispoke. Is there a way to have the portable application help function point to Chrome (on the flash and loaded in Portableapps) instead of Firefox?
01:32:10 <ChrisMorgan> Jerky video playback in VLC is probably due to the media you're playing from - if it's your USB disk, it's too slow to play video at the real speed, you could try copying to the local disk for greater performance.
01:32:18 <ChrisMorgan> Not at the moment.
01:32:43 *** rouilj (~rouilj@pool-74-104-157-242.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #portableapps
01:33:51 <mwortman> The Flash isn't the problem. I can play the file with a player on my PC like Real and it runs perfectly. I only have a problem with VLC
01:35:29 <mwortman> So I can't just delete firefox? Then why offer Chrome if you still have to have firefox?
01:37:25 <ChrisMorgan> What is it that's launching Firefox?
01:38:13 <mwortman> a help request in the portable applications menu
01:40:11 <ChrisMorgan> That's just about the only thing that will do it. Most things won't be able to specify a portable browser at all. And so it's not really a big issue.
01:40:29 <ChrisMorgan> If you didn't have Firefox Portable it would use the system default browser.
01:42:30 <mwortman> OK, It sound like if I want to remain portable and off the main system I need to keep firefox. If other requests go to the system default browser how do I get rid of the browser history on it?
01:50:15 <vf2nsr> Have you tried Tools> options> privacy > clear history?
01:52:55 <vf2nsr> ChrisMorgan, thanks I have fixed app and page to your suggestions
01:53:13 <ChrisMorgan> Thanks :-)
01:53:36 <vf2nsr> when you have moment can you review as I posted a question for you as well
01:53:57 <mwortman> I have firefox on the flash set up to clear history at exit. My question is do I also need to clear the history of the default system browser if, like ChrisMorgan is saying, that is where Portableapps would sent the request. My goal would be to run just Chrome from the flash
01:55:21 <ChrisMorgan> vf2nsr: do you mind if I tidy up the page a smidgeon more?
01:55:39 <vf2nsr> go for it only way I will learn I guess
01:56:24 <vf2nsr> what wrong now though?
01:56:41 <vf2nsr> I am using the template and all for formatting
01:56:42 <ChrisMorgan> Some of it is just ways that I like it. Most recent release notes first, if it's a single item don't put it in a list but rather inline. And then put the link to the previous version at the bottom.
01:57:01 <vf2nsr> ok
01:57:18 <ChrisMorgan> And you were missing "Development Test 2" from the download link. And (finicky me) I removed the ".0" from the topic line as you don't use it anywhere else in it :P
01:57:49 <ChrisMorgan> Now I think I'm going to head off to Uni.
01:58:40 <vf2nsr> Chris you didnt answer my question
01:58:52 <vf2nsr> development vs alpha vs beta?
01:59:08 <ChrisMorgan> What question is it? I can't see a new question there?
01:59:19 <ChrisMorgan> Ah, that. I responded to that /aaaages/ ago :P
01:59:36 <ChrisMorgan> 36 minutes ago :D
01:59:52 <ChrisMorgan> Bye :-)
01:59:54 <vf2nsr> no as it only says development prerelease and release
02:00:00 <vf2nsr> nothing about alpha and beta
02:00:12 <ChrisMorgan> I did; I said that there are no further subdivisions.
02:00:31 <vf2nsr> ok

13:23:05 <Tilly1> Hi. Just wondering about the Java portable - version is listed as 6v19 but now they have put out 6v20. Which version will I end up with during install?
13:23:35 <Tilly1> ..."they" being Sun - sorry. :)
13:25:16 <iceslice> i guess the listed one
13:25:44 <iceslice> wait for others to reply
13:27:15 <Tilly1> Listed - you mean listed at Portable Apps or listed at Sun?
13:27:38 <iceslice> i meant portable, that's what you meant too, no?
13:27:53 <Tilly1> Yes. :)
13:28:10 <iceslice> well, it should be so.

13:28:49 <iceslice> hehe, not english :)
13:29:00 <Tilly1> lol - that was my guess, iceslice. :D
13:30:10 <Tilly1> "that's what you meant, NO?" - that's what gave it away. :D

13:41:15 <sar3th> checking...
13:42:11 <sar3th> it seems to be an online installer
13:42:49 <sar3th> partially
13:43:12 <iceslice> what version it should end up with?
13:43:19 <sar3th> it's update 19
13:44:40 <iceslice> ye, otherwise it would be a bug
13:46:10 *** iceslice has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
13:47:07 <Tilly1> Okay. I'm not up to installing it yet. Still getting some other apps and then doing the lot at once. Hopefully Firefox won't keep offering to disable it like the non-portable versions do.
13:53:16 *** sja5164 (~sartman@66-200-55-19.client.dsl.net) has joined #portableapps
13:55:03 <sja5164> Quick question: It seems that every time I run my flash drive (only has portableApps) on XP, then take it back to my Vista machine at home, It says I need to reformat. It works, but wont autostart. Any ideas?
14:09:26 <Tilly1> Do other things autostart on your Vista machine?
14:15:58 <sja5164> Lots of stuff. I have my flashdirve set up to autostart PAM as soon as I plug it in.
14:19:11 <Tilly1> That was the only thought I had. I'm only new at PortableApps myself.
