01:17:15 <ZachThibeau> howdy JohnTHaller
01:17:32 <JohnTHaller> Hoa ZachThibeau
01:17:35 <JohnTHaller> Hola even
01:17:41 <ZachThibeau> what's up
01:18:20 <JohnTHaller> Long day. Not as much time to work as I'd wanted. One of my best friends packed up and left for San Francisco.
01:18:54 <JohnTHaller> How bout with you?

01:49:32 <pa_6469> Hi. Just checking something that may seem obvious, but info for myself and also a friend who has old computer that periodically crashes. My understanding is that besides being able to install on a usb drive, I can "install" portable apps in their own self-contained folders on my harddrive. So all the information is in the app folder -- not in registry and documents and setting, etc. So, I can copy the app folder to another d
01:49:48 <pa_6469> is this so, or did I miss something. MANY thanks to the portable app community.
01:50:46 <JohnTHaller> Correct. It's best to copy to a similar directory structure (X:\PortableApps to G:\PortableApps) as some apps will lose some settings when the full relative path changes.
01:53:01 <pa_6469> Thank you. But sounds like I should expect that on some, I might have to do tweaking to get old settings, yes. But at least don't have to do the hideous full reinstall.
01:54:04 <JohnTHaller> If the relative path is the same, they'll work exactly as if you had em on the same drive and just switched computers. All of them.
01:54:54 <pa_6469> Thanks again. I'll pass the word on and though we're both not-quite-working, happy to contribute at least a modest bit tomorrow. Great stuff. An inspiration for us all to do useful things and share. Goodnight
01:56:15 <JohnTHaller> You're welcome. And thanks for the contribution. Have a good one!

02:01:31 <ZachThibeau> sorry John, twas looking after the new member of the family, got a puppy to look after, not much new other than the new pup, made some new progress on PChat 2.0, fixed a couple of crashing bugs, should be beta worthy in about a month or so
02:01:40 <JohnTHaller> Ah nice
02:12:11 <ZachThibeau> indeed
02:12:27 <ZachThibeau> I managed to get gtk also linked as a static library
02:13:56 <ZachThibeau> while it may not be as small as minigtk, it makes PChat look and feel almost like XChat shareware build without the shareware of course :P
02:14:59 <JohnTHaller> I don't think the size different will be a dealbreaker for people.
02:15:16 <ZachThibeau> and best of all a good deal gtk applications can make use of it if they wanted to use it to port their gtk apps to windows
