03:21:12 <GordCaswell> JohnTHaller: Do you want me to build GIMPPortableU.nsi with the GS stuff, or using PAL?
03:21:47 <JohnTHaller> I'd like to get some more testing with the PAL version before calling it ready for stable. So the nsi version, please.
03:25:01 <GordCaswell> K, no problem
03:25:29 <JohnTHaller> If it's too much work, we can just do it with the next major release with the PAL launcher
03:26:15 <GordCaswell> I've got 4 days off work starting WED, so I'll put it in, test, and should have it to you by the end of the day WED
03:26:23 <GordCaswell> Nope, easy to do
03:27:18 <GordCaswell> Just wanted to check abt that. Later!
03:27:24 <JohnTHaller> Later man

03:56:11 <pa_5140> i couldn't download this application due to shutdown of megaupload
03:56:16 <JohnTHaller> That's an illegal website unassociated with us. We only do legal software.
03:56:51 <pa_5140> this website indicated that this is the main site of it
03:57:01 <pa_5140> on the bottom page
03:57:16 <JohnTHaller> It's lying. As a site that distributes illegal software and who knows what else, I wouldn't take it at its word.

04:00:14 <JohnTHaller> I thought that was a logical argument.

04:31:45 <GizmoBot> pa_1186: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom. Ask your question and someone should be able to help you shortly. If you still don't get an answer, try posting on the forums: http://portableapps.com/forums
04:31:56 <JohnTHaller> what do you need pa_1186?
04:32:23 <pa_1186> how can i make a non-portable app portable?
04:33:06 <JohnTHaller> We have a bit outdated guide here: http://portableapps.com/node/14868
04:33:31 <JohnTHaller> Nearly all apps use the PortableApps.com Launcher now instead of custom code, though. Complete details are here: http://portableapps.com/development
04:35:44 <JohnTHaller> OliverK|Away: Do you have any plans to update Geany or should someone else get it?
04:36:38 <vf2nsr> pa_1186: do you have a specific app in mind as there are hundreds of apps already made portable on the site
04:43:29 <pa_1186> i dont think the app i am thinking of is on this site. it is called "verb-ace pro" and it is an arabic-english digital dictionary
04:47:15 <vf2nsr> considering it is commercial software I Know it is not

05:11:48 <vf2nsr> JohnTHaller: I see you been very busy tonight lol
05:12:00 <JohnTHaller> Just a bit
05:12:26 <vf2nsr> would that be a 32 or a 64 bit lol
05:13:06 <vf2nsr> I noticed in th eoutdated apps it mentions private browser is that the one you made from FF?
05:13:49 <JohnTHaller> Yeah. Already started a replacement
05:14:18 <vf2nsr> ah ok because I was playing around with it last night and noted that it updated at same time as FF had
05:14:24 <vf2nsr> so was a bit confused
05:14:41 <JohnTHaller> It uses a FirefoxPortable installed alongside it. Doesn't play nicely with modern FF though
05:14:56 <vf2nsr> oh? ok
05:15:08 <vf2nsr> seemed functional with me but I was no theavy testing
05:15:19 <JohnTHaller> It's missing the visuals mainly
05:15:45 <vf2nsr> more I was just testing out the other program I works for and its web based app uising all the different browsers
05:16:24 <vf2nsr> I say work actually volunteer

10:15:14 <pa_9345> I have just installed the PortableApps.com Platform, but after adding apps to it via "Apps > Get More Apps..." and "Apps > Install a New App" I cannot see them in the starter.
10:15:41 <pa_9345> (I suppose they should be listed in the left pane, where there's the "All Portable Apps" link below.
10:16:55 <pa_9345> I have installed it to a local drive at F:\TEMP\PortableApps
10:41:18 <pa_9345> Any ideas?
10:55:26 <pa_9345> The installer says "Your new portable apps have been installed and are now available in the PortableApps.com Menu.".
10:55:49 <pa_9345> I cannot find them in the F:\TEMP\PortableApps directory structure either.
10:59:31 <pa_9345> The environment is restricted to only allow program execution from F:\TEMP

13:09:18 <TPFC-SYSTEM> pa_9345: Have you tried downloading an application from the website and running the .paf.exe file directly?
13:10:23 <TPFC-SYSTEM> The applications should be installed within F:\TEMP\PortableApps, so if they aren't there, likely their installation has failed somehow.
13:11:24 <Gizmokid2005> if the install failed, you would be alerted by the updater.
13:13:06 <TPFC-SYSTEM> That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
13:23:48 <Gizmokid2005> no problem TPFC-SYSTEM :)

13:54:38 *** Oni-Neoxes has quit ()
14:14:25 <pa_9345> TPFC-SYSTEM: installing a .paf.exe wants to install it to "\gVimPortable" directly. I had installed MinGW before, but adjusted the path.
14:15:10 <pa_9345> Should it detect/use F:\TEMP directly? If so, how would it know?
14:15:29 <pa_9345> Maybe it looks for "PortableApps" in all drive roots?
14:15:58 <TPFC-SYSTEM> It should detect F:\TEMP if you install it via the PortableApps.com Platform.
14:32:51 <pa_9345> It has not asked for a location to install then, and installed correctly. It appears in the list, too.
14:33:25 <pa_9345> But installation via "Get more apps..." does not work, despite the success message in the end.
14:33:47 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Well, at least you have a workaround now. :)
14:33:58 <Gizmokid2005> it should work via "Get more apps..."
14:34:09 <Gizmokid2005> the only thing you /might/ need to do is refresh the menu app icons after install
14:34:13 <Gizmokid2005> but the installer should do that intself.
14:34:34 <pa_9345> I have even restarted the launcher.
14:43:43 *** AlleyKat has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
14:46:53 <pa_9345> When using "get more apps..." it does not put any files there, too.
14:48:52 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Hmm, maybe it's a bug.
14:49:18 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Most people install PAM into the drive root.
14:50:31 <pa_9345> Yes, looks like a bug. Unfortunately I cannot install it in the drive root.
14:51:09 <pa_9345> I could also imagine that certain restrictions in this environment cause this behavior.. non-whitelisted programs are only executable in F:\TEMP
14:51:27 <pa_9345> ..and other directories have tight permissions also, of course.
14:53:39 <TPFC-SYSTEM> At least you can install .paf.exe's directly. :)
15:27:42 <pa_9345> Yes, workaround is ok. But I would like to help fixing this, e.g. by providing more information.
15:27:52 <pa_9345> I have to go now though. Thanks so far!
