04:08:49 <vf2nsr> Hi Ya JWHough
04:08:59 <JWHough> how ya doin
04:09:12 <vf2nsr> not too bad I guess you?
04:10:02 <vf2nsr> been busy with a few new devs
04:10:07 <vf2nsr> and one I can not release
04:10:49 <vf2nsr> CircLE Dock I guess is a no go because of the way it was re-licensed
04:11:34 <vf2nsr> sort of bites since I spent 2 days working on it
04:18:20 *** JWHough1 (~JW_Hough@ip68-107-139-104.tc.ph.cox.net) has joined #portableapps
04:19:19 <JWHough1> sorry, connection issues
04:19:32 <JWHough1> My router seems to randomly stop working
04:19:40 <vf2nsr> np Was wondering what happened
04:19:56 <JWHough1> in which case I have to turn off and turn it back on again
04:20:09 *** JWHough has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
04:20:20 <JWHough1> It's really annoying, as it's the 4th time its happened since I got it 10 days ago.
04:20:27 <JWHough1> one sec

04:28:16 <JWHough> 2 days really isn't that much at all
04:28:46 <vf2nsr> Well it was for me lol and especially because I can not use it
04:28:52 <JWHough> I mean, I'd spend a week or more writing, testing, and debugging my first few dev tests in custom code
04:28:59 <vf2nsr> same here
04:29:05 <JWHough> PAL makes everything simpler
04:29:14 <vf2nsr> but when you spend time on a project only to discover you can no t use it
04:29:25 <JWHough> All in all, I'm sure it did serve for experience, though
04:29:25 <vf2nsr> it is a bit disheartening
04:29:45 <JWHough> You had to learn something, though, right?
04:29:59 <vf2nsr> yup to read with a fine tooth comb licenses
04:30:03 <JWHough> A learning experience is always something you can get from something
04:30:05 <vf2nsr> No I did learn somethin
04:30:22 <vf2nsr> I learend to always keep a copy of work even if I can not use it
04:30:39 <vf2nsr> like with new app SyncDocs got no response looked like I could not release it
04:30:44 <vf2nsr> deleted all the files
04:30:57 <vf2nsr> Then go tpermission and ws lucky I still had it on a stick
04:31:02 <JWHough> nice
04:31:24 <vf2nsr> so did not have to rework a week of work
04:31:45 <vf2nsr> just need to fiigure one think out with it then I will be truly happy
04:32:18 <vf2nsr> which is how to update drive letter in a shortcut
04:37:04 <JWHough> check this out
04:37:05 <JWHough> http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellLink_plug-in
04:37:48 <vf2nsr> looks interesting thanks
04:38:08 <JWHough> Oh and in your SyncDocs Portable page, you link Mirror 2 to this
04:38:09 <JWHough> https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=ohhl4rw8mbn4
04:38:24 <JWHough> Not sure if that was intentional, but clicking it does nothing
04:38:26 <vf2nsr> really let me check
04:41:46 <vf2nsr> www.syncdocs.com/downloads/syncdocsportable_2.25__development_test_1_english.paf.exe
04:42:02 <vf2nsr> Portable apps will not let me put that in?
04:43:10 <vf2nsr> when I enter that it come back to the forum page
04:45:57 <vf2nsr> try morror 2 now please
04:48:09 <vf2nsr> JWHough: you still here? Thanks I seem to have fixed it now
04:48:15 <JWHough> oh yeah
04:48:16 <JWHough> sorry
04:48:26 <vf2nsr> should be working now
04:50:19 <JWHough> So the link above didn't work, so you uploaded it to Google Docs instead, and that worked, right?
04:50:51 <vf2nsr> when I put in th eabove link and hit is it went back to the PA forum
04:51:05 <vf2nsr> so I used a secondary link I was given
04:51:26 <vf2nsr> not sure why the above link went back to PortableApps?
04:51:52 <vf2nsr> but am going to do some testing
04:54:20 <vf2nsr> ok I figured it out give me a minute and will explain
04:55:25 <vf2nsr> ok fixed it to go to above link
04:55:46 <vf2nsr> apparently PA not like it because was www I chenged to http and volia it work now
04:56:55 <vf2nsr> looks like that nsis script you sen tme might work, will look at it mo rein morning thanks

12:53:12 <pa_7828> hi just wondering can i use this so that i can install games on my usb and run it on any pc i use?
12:53:30 <vf2nsr|away> What games are you talking about?
12:53:44 <vf2nsr|away> The games that PortableApps has or you rown personal ones
12:53:58 <pa_7828> lets say Assassin creed revelations
12:54:07 <vf2nsr|away> So it is a game you have
12:54:10 <pa_7828> where i install on my game already
12:54:13 <pa_7828> yes
12:54:19 <pa_7828> i mean install on my pc already
12:54:33 <vf2nsr|away> you would have to code it to work PortableApps does not make things portable
12:54:48 <vf2nsr|away> that is up to the way you code the app to work
12:54:56 <vf2nsr|away> so it is not automatic
12:55:06 <pa_7828> oh so what does this does exactly?
12:55:42 <vf2nsr|away> the platform provides an interface to programs that are portable like those listed on the site
12:56:00 <vf2nsr|away> it also has utility program to allow users to make portable other applications
12:56:12 <vf2nsr|away> the PortableApps Launcher, installer etc
12:56:38 <pa_7828> hmmm i see thanks
12:56:59 <vf2nsr|away> yqw

14:42:37 <dan|2> lo
14:42:56 <vf2nsr> hi
14:43:34 <dan|2> anyone know the best way to setup shortcuts to portableapps in the Windows 7 start menu so that they come up when you start typing in the search box?
14:44:12 <vf2nsr> where are the apps stored?
14:45:10 <dan|2> C:\PortableApps\PortableApps
14:45:34 <dan|2> then a subdir with the app name
14:45:44 <dan|2> eg C:\PortableApps\PortableApps\FileZillaPortable
14:45:54 <vf2nsr> so they are on harddrive
14:46:01 <dan|2> yeah
14:46:08 <vf2nsr> why not just create a shortcut to it
14:46:14 <vf2nsr> in the dekstop
14:46:28 <vf2nsr> to launch the platform?
14:46:45 <dan|2> Well, I have the platform launched at startup so can access the apps through that
14:47:06 <dan|2> but for installed programs it's easy to just hit the win key and start typing the app name
14:47:24 <dan|2> rather than hitting ctrl, alt and space
14:47:25 <vf2nsr> ok so why the need to be able to search? just bring up th eplatform
14:47:41 <dan|2> Just personal preference reall
14:47:45 <dan|2> *really
14:47:47 <vf2nsr> ok
14:47:58 <dan|2> just wondered if anyone had done it
14:48:07 <vf2nsr> tried typing in the laucher name?
14:48:25 <vf2nsr> like for instance regshotportable
14:48:30 <vf2nsr> for regshot etc
14:48:35 <vf2nsr> that hsould work
14:49:00 <dan|2> Doesn't seem to
14:49:38 <vf2nsr> odd it does for me
14:49:41 <dan|2> I think Windows only searches in the Start Menu dir
14:49:52 <vf2nsr> and I have that installed in C drive
14:50:00 <vf2nsr> regshot portable that is
14:50:07 <dan|2> Where abouts on C?
14:50:10 <vf2nsr> and no record of it in start
14:50:18 <vf2nsr> c user
14:51:15 <dan|2> I'll just try copying mine to c:\user\me ...
14:51:21 *** techfreak246 has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
14:52:14 <vf2nsr> it should work regardelss of where you have it
14:54:39 <vf2nsr> in fact when I start typing it even lists the USB drive
14:54:50 <vf2nsr> so it might be in the way you have your search set up
14:55:54 <dan|2> I think you might be right
14:56:18 <dan|2> weirdly it finds 7zip portable just by typing 7zip
14:56:34 <dan|2> but FileZillaPortable is not found
14:56:49 <vf2nsr> ok hang on sec
14:57:21 <vf2nsr> if you click on see more results you can customize it there
14:58:15 <vf2nsr> mine brings up local copy as well as the USB version
15:00:40 <dan|2> I went into Folder Options > Search
15:00:51 <dan|2> checked the first radio button
15:01:02 <vf2nsr> does it work now?
15:01:26 <dan|2> It does
15:01:29 <dan|2> thanks
15:01:33 <vf2nsr> yqw
15:02:28 <dan|2> The FileZillaPortable.exe is the last item in the list, behind .ico, xml files, ini files and folder names
15:02:39 *** habr100 has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
15:02:48 <dan|2> but I guess that's just the way it is
15:03:23 <vf2nsr> you might just need to type in the whole name
15:03:27 <vf2nsr> not sure
15:04:30 <dan|2> Well, that's a step in the right direction anyway, thanks for your help :)
15:04:46 <vf2nsr> yqw wish I could have helped more
15:05:01 <vf2nsr> I run 99% of mine of the usb drive
15:05:15 <vf2nsr> only have one program actually installed so to speak
15:05:26 <vf2nsr> and I just created a desktop shortcut fo rit
15:05:37 <vf2nsr> shortcut for it
15:05:46 <vf2nsr> dang keyboard lol
15:06:33 *** vf2nsr has parted #portableapps (None)
15:06:35 <dan|2> Just found a handy guide of tweaking the Windows Start Menu Search - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28111/make-windows-7-start-menu-search-find-your-applications-faster/
