01:11:49 <pa_3984> Hi All. What is the minimum recommended flash drive size for using PA?
01:12:13 <Aerok> pa_3984: It depends on the apps you'll install.
01:12:57 <pa_3984> Good point. For someone just starting out with a couple of web browsing apps to test it out? Just wondering if you need something big or basic
01:13:35 <Aerok> Web browsers? 256MB, I think.
01:14:01 <pa_3984> awesome. Thanks!
01:14:12 <Aerok> The most important thing is the drive's speed.
01:15:34 <pa_3984> Interesting. Not too tech savvy here. You mean like USB2.0 etc type of speed?
01:17:44 <Aerok> No, I mean the flash drive's mean read/write speed. See http://portableapps.com/node/2341
01:18:41 <pa_3984> Gotcha. Thanks for the help, I'm gonna do my homework :)

03:12:14 <Aerok> hi GordCaswell
03:12:27 <GordCaswell> hi Aerok
03:13:14 <Aerok> How are you, Gord?
03:13:32 <GordCaswell> not too bad. Got the GS stuff working :)
03:14:18 <Aerok> Great
03:15:05 <GordCaswell> Yeah, not sure what the problem was. All I did was change back the debug messages in the GS function, and it worked.
03:17:39 <Aerok> Hmm... odd.
03:18:12 <GordCaswell> at least, i think that's all i did. I'm diffing the two commits now to see if i changed anything else.

13:58:47 <Delano> hi, how would I go about adding a portable app that's not in the .paf.exe standard?
13:58:55 <Delano> Like apps from portablefreeware.com?
14:00:00 <Gizmokid2005> Delano: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#addingotherapps
14:01:02 <Delano> Thank you kindly
14:01:08 <Gizmokid2005> you're welcome

14:02:34 <Delano> Sweet
14:03:14 <Delano> Obviously it will only check for updates on the official apps?
14:04:09 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Yes, that's right.
14:04:26 <TPFC-SYSTEM> BTW, I'm one of the maintainers of portablefreeware.com. :)
14:04:36 <Delano> I gathered, from your nick :p
14:04:41 <Delano> Are you that Lee fellow?
14:05:18 <TPFC-SYSTEM> No, I'm SYSTEM.
14:05:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?q=%5BSYSTEM%5D&m=Search
14:05:59 <Delano> heh
14:06:35 <Delano> I used psmenu religiously
14:06:53 <Delano> But since v10 of the PA platform, I'm hooked
14:07:19 <Delano> Definitely more streamlined to use, and the fact that you can run apps as admin is a major plus
14:07:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I'm still using PStart. Too lazy to switch. :D
14:08:08 <Delano> That's why I asked about "unofficial" apps; I'm migrating my rather large collection from psmenu to PA platform :D
14:08:58 <Delano> Question, though
14:09:08 <Delano> Why include both LibreOffice and OpenOffice?
14:09:54 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Well, maintaining OpenOffice Portable doesn't currently require any activity from PortableApps.com.
14:10:13 <TPFC-SYSTEM> They don't have permission to repackage versions newer than 3.2.0.
14:10:21 <Gizmokid2005> OO is listed because it was already done. LO was added because it's the "real" version now.
14:11:10 <Gizmokid2005> ^^ also that
14:11:14 <Delano> Okay
14:11:19 <Delano> May I offer a suggestion?
14:12:00 <Delano> In the directory/get apps windows, could you have a search option please?
14:14:23 <TPFC-SYSTEM> That feature is planned.
14:14:25 <TPFC-SYSTEM> http://portableapps.com/node/28593
14:14:34 <TPFC-SYSTEM> "Ability to search app directory"
14:19:24 <Delano> Kewl!
14:23:16 <Delano> I'm off. Thanks a ton, guys. The platform is awesome and I appreciate your helpfulness.
14:24:00 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You're welcome. :)

14:35:17 <Doctor-Drive> Hi
14:36:14 <Doctor-Drive> I was wondering, Is there a way to create your own personal themes for PortableApps Platform Menu?
14:36:48 <Gizmokid2005> Doctor-Drive: yes.
14:38:04 <Doctor-Drive> Really. Because I have one theme, which I created long time ago and it was not capable with this new edition
14:38:21 <Gizmokid2005> Right. The themeing engine changed with the new release
14:38:24 <Gizmokid2005> it's still possible though
14:39:22 <Doctor-Drive> Do I have to make alternations to my theme so it would work again? And what changese
14:41:34 <Doctor-Drive> I stopped trying by the first editions
14:43:48 <Gizmokid2005> yes you will, but I don't have the details
14:48:21 <Doctor-Drive> Alright
14:48:30 <Doctor-Drive> Good to know
14:52:31 <Doctor-Drive> Wow, Long time has gone, so many years ago and PortableApps Platform is still the one and only good Application Suite. I have told so many people about this software and they all got nuts about it.
14:54:50 <Doctor-Drive> Thanks for truly for your honestly, many MANY!!!! says that their Application Suite is easy to use etc, men it is not, Not at all.
14:55:06 <Doctor-Drive> but it is not, Not at all.
14:59:39 <Doctor-Drive> I am gonna go now, but have a nice day

20:40:57 <kronophskiy> how do I do that
