04:29:20 <pa_2665> hi any one there
04:29:32 <JohnTHaller> hi pa_2665, how can we help you?
04:30:56 <pa_2665> i have an .exe i would like to make portable ho can i do it u can down load it from http://www.padowan.dk/graph/Download.php
04:31:22 <pa_2665> it is only 3 mbs
04:32:14 <JohnTHaller> If you're up for it, you can use our tools in the PortableApps.com/development section. It's a bit of work to learn and there's no solid 'getting started' manual yet. But once you know, it's pretty easy.
04:32:39 <JohnTHaller> Or you can request it in the Request Apps forum. We have tons of volunteers and most apps requested that are open source (as this is) and useful (as this is), someone will pick it up.
04:33:01 <pa_2665> ok thanks
04:33:53 <JohnTHaller> The request apps forum is right here: http://portableapps.com/forums/general/request_apps

06:48:04 <pa_1303> hello
06:48:24 <pa_1303> is there any way to install plugins to Chrome Portable? it always fails
06:50:23 <pa_1303> Can not unpack extension. To safely unpack an extension, there must be a path to your profile directory that starts with a drive letter and does not contain a junction, mount point, or symlink. No such path exists for your profile.
06:57:14 <TPFC-SYSTEM> This bug report might be related: http://portableapps.com/node/26795
06:58:34 <pa_1303> not really, I can't even install anything I could try to update
07:03:38 <TPFC-SYSTEM> That's the only non-fixed bug of Chrome Portable I found.
07:03:48 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I don't even use Chrome Portable myself.
07:03:56 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Sorry, I can't help you. :(

13:32:59 *** TPFC-SYSTEM (opera@cs181095174.pp.htv.fi) has joined #portableapps
13:33:12 <pa_3460> I love portable apps. One issue about file associations.
13:34:43 <TPFC-SYSTEM> What kind of issue?
13:37:02 <pa_3460> Google Chrome, for instance, I launched GoogleChromePortable.exe in the portable app root folder, and set it as a default browser. But when I double click a html file, it will launch chrome.exe under x:\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\
13:37:54 <pa_6518> uhh. why set a portable browser as default...
13:38:36 <pa_3460> And they look like different bowsers, since my setting, including extensions don't appare.
13:40:53 <pa_3460> iit is not necessary to be a default browser, but I am asking are they same programs?
13:41:14 <pa_6518> they are same
13:41:32 <pa_3460> and it happens in many portable apps
13:41:46 <pa_6518> but the launcher will do something to your registry before launching the actual app
13:41:52 <pa_3460> such as XNview
13:42:55 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You shouldn't use Chrome's own "set as default" feature. If you do, chrome.exe will become the default browser instead of GoogleChromePortable.exe.
13:43:28 <pa_3460> II make the file associations with this portable program, and it launches the .exe in XnViewPortable\App\XnView\, and the settings are gone
13:43:55 <TPFC-SYSTEM> If chrome.exe is launched directly, it's not portable (it saves its settings in the %appdata% directory).
13:43:56 <pa_6518> the settings are still in the pa config files
13:44:54 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You are theoretically able to set GoogleChromePortable.exe as the default browser, but it's difficult.
13:47:37 <pa_3460> ok, i think i got the point. I love portable apps, and wanted to use the .exe in the GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\ as an initial launcher, since I found the issue of file associations. Now I know if I do that, it is no longer portable.
13:48:15 <TPFC-SYSTEM> An easy workaround is using a natively portable browser that doesn't require a wrapper, for example SRWare Iron.
13:48:22 <TPFC-SYSTEM> http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1459
13:51:18 <pa_6518> end of issue?
13:51:43 <pa_3460> I see. Do you have future plan to wrap regular programs into "natively" portable programs like SRWare Iron to solve the association issue? I mean all kinds of apps, not just browsers.
13:52:27 <pa_6518> these programs without source code can only be wrapped with that launcher
13:52:46 <pa_3460> OK, thank you very much for your help
