02:06:32 <ZachThibeau> I just managed to get my desktop back, after moving and getting a job I was able to finally purchase a new monitor and bring the desktop to where I live now
02:06:41 <Pyromaniac> hi iTechNewsDaily
02:06:47 <iTechNewsDaily> Hello
02:07:01 <iTechNewsDaily> vf2nsr
02:07:01 <Pyromaniac> so I see you got issues with regshot, right?
02:07:07 <iTechNewsDaily> Yes
02:07:11 <Pyromaniac> he's |away
02:07:16 <iTechNewsDaily> Ah ok
02:07:22 <Pyromaniac> what dontcha get?
02:07:52 <iTechNewsDaily> Problem is that I can't do anything with it right now. I'm actually using the IRC website chat from a iPod touch
02:08:05 <Pyromaniac> lol
02:08:18 <Pyromaniac> ok, when will you be back on your oc
02:08:20 <Pyromaniac> *pc
02:08:54 <iTechNewsDaily> Tomorrow at any time I can get on. It's 10:00 at night for me right now. Not sure what time it is for you.
02:09:23 <Pyromaniac> 7
02:09:43 <Pyromaniac> ok, I'll be online around this time again. Perhaps an hour earlier
02:10:02 <iTechNewsDaily> I have a couple classes during my school day that I can get online and do some work. Not sure how my schools PC's are going to hadel me takeoff shots of the registry
02:10:08 <iTechNewsDaily> Probably will block it.
02:10:46 <iTechNewsDaily> I will try to bring in m own laptop to do some work, but I need rife it connected to the network.
02:10:52 <Pyromaniac> taking a shot doesn't change the computer at all. It's only looking at it. While I don't necessarily reccomend doing it there, I'm sure regshot would work
02:11:13 <iTechNewsDaily> If not then I'm going to have to fit his whenever to get home
02:11:20 <Pyromaniac> no need to rush
02:11:27 <iTechNewsDaily> I know

02:11:54 <Pyromaniac> aight
02:12:07 <iTechNewsDaily> What is the beret way to get into contact with you outside of IRC so I CBS let you know when I'm on?

03:17:05 <vf2nsr> nope
03:18:23 <GordCaswell> It's KDE's office suite, they've just released a major update to it, but the Windows binary isn't available yet. Once it is, I'm goin to look at packaging it for us...it looks pretty solid.
03:18:40 <vf2nsr> nice
03:18:48 <GordCaswell> yup
03:18:59 <vf2nsr> Hope yyou have better luck with it than I am with amarok

03:23:48 <vf2nsr> back
03:24:08 <vf2nsr> GordCaswell: does that a portab le version or will it be from scratch?
03:24:32 <GordCaswell> no, it'll from the normal, installed version.
03:25:44 <vf2nsr> hmmm I may want to chat about that sometime as this amarok is actually one version behind the base app so maybe I can get a few ideas from ya
03:39:41 <vf2nsr> GordCaswell: what version of KDE does it use?
03:40:10 <GordCaswell> No idea. I haven't looked at it at all, just got the news release in my rss feed earlier.
03:40:24 <vf2nsr> ah ok
04:12:24 <vf2nsr> sweet looks like I actually wrote a custom code that works and did not even need help A milestone for me lol
04:21:07 <vf2nsr> Oops I think I just found a bug in the new installer
04:23:18 <Pyromaniac> what?
04:24:18 <vf2nsr> hang on I trying again BUT I ran installer then checked box to launch the app it launched app and also brought up the installer box again I am running another test though to check
04:24:25 <vf2nsr> in case it was a fat fingers issue
04:26:11 <vf2nsr> ok did not happen this time but also noted no splash screen when launched
04:26:20 <vf2nsr> so that is twice no splash
04:26:35 <vf2nsr> not sure why it hiccuped before on the installer though?

Version 1162 build 1347 (final) has been out for about 3 weeks and I keep wondering when the portableapps version will be released. Maybe or John T. is on vacation (or other wise occupied) ;-) (the new version fixes a couple of bugs that affect me - so I am anxious)

13:33:32 <m3bX> any clue?
13:35:10 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Hmm, I don't use either of them actively.
13:35:43 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Do the non-portable versions of VLC and Pidgin crash too?

17:31:50 <pa_7774> Just wanted to let you know that under no conditions, even under re-install will Libre Office 3.5.0 work in Portable Apps. The direct download from Libre Office to the desktop will work on any computer, but the Portable Apps version refuses to launch even after a re-install.

21:51:37 <m3b81> afternoon guys
21:52:21 <gluxon> m3b81: Hello
21:53:21 <m3b81> hey i'm having problems w/piding all the sudden; and then vlc for about two weeks now...
21:53:39 <m3b81> and i have a couple of questions on software u could recommend
21:54:19 <m3b81> i guess; first of all how can i re-install pidgin w/out loosing my theme; plugins just backup .purple?
21:55:04 <gluxon> Pidgin Portable can be installed just by running the installer over the current installation.
21:55:21 <m3b81> Sweet easy enuff
21:55:24 <gluxon> Yep.
21:55:35 <m3b81> vlc gets stuck; freezeds and quits...
21:56:38 <gluxon> Yeah, our PortableApps.com Installer detects when you've selected a folder with the same app already installed, and upgrades it instead. Upgrade as in "reinstall while preserving settings"
21:57:31 <gluxon> m3b81: Does vlc do this on a clean install? As in first launch without tweaking settings?
22:03:56 <m3b81> i can do a clean install; every setting I can reset...
22:04:56 <gluxon> Does it crash/freeze/quit on a clean install?
22:08:52 <m3b81> i haven't tried yet one sec
22:09:38 <m3b81> + could u recommend a good registry cleaning program...
22:12:18 <gluxon> Have you tried CCleaner?
22:13:29 <m3b81> ya; I'd like something tighter...
22:13:58 <gluxon> Tighter?
22:16:35 <m3b81> more precise
22:17:35 <m3b81> or would you happen to have a list off hand of some portable app sites...

22:17:50 <pa_3859> help
22:17:50 <GizmoBot> pa_3859: 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
22:18:07 <gluxon> m3b81: I don't know any registry cleaning apps other than CCleaner that's portable.
22:18:22 <gluxon> pa_3859: What's your question?
22:18:52 <pa_3859> \i have a software on cd. Can i turn that into a portable app to use & run directly off of a flash drive?
22:19:07 <pa_3859> i don't want to have to install it on a computer that isn't mine
22:19:13 <gluxon> m3b81: http://www.pendriveapps.com/ http://www.winpenpack.com/en/news.php http://www.portablefreeware.com/
22:19:49 <gluxon> m3b81: I can not guarantee that any of those follow the official PortableApps.com Format specification and do not leave personal files behind.
22:20:06 <gluxon> pa_3859: It depends on the software.
22:20:33 <gluxon> pa_3859: What's the name of the software?
22:20:40 <pa_3859> SESAP
22:21:06 <pa_3859> it's a question based software that i purchased in cd format
22:21:51 <pa_3859> i've looked trough your apps but i don't see it there...not that i expected to. can i convert it on my own to work like portable apps?
22:21:53 <gluxon> pa_3859: I'm sorry, it's a payware application and I can't find out more information about it due to that.
22:22:12 <pa_3859> what does that mean? payware?
22:22:27 <gluxon> Software requiring payment
22:22:44 <gluxon> Or commercial software, which is the official term.
22:23:22 <pa_3859> so even though i paid for it, those can not be converted?
22:24:25 <gluxon> pa_3859: Well, creating a PortableApp isn't really about converting. It's more about looking at where your program stores its data and required external files, then creating a PortableApps.com Launcher from that information.
22:25:49 *** andreasma has quit (Quit: Verlassend)
22:25:57 <gluxon> There is a good guide to doing this, but it's a bit dated and to be honest, most users end up deciding that they do not have the time required to make their favorite app portable.
22:25:58 <gluxon> http://portableapps.com/node/14868
22:26:28 <pa_3859> can i create a launcher from this cd to place/run entirely off of a flash drive?
22:26:36 <pa_3859> postable apps launcher
22:27:29 <gluxon> pa_3859: It depends on whether or not the app has external dependencies that need to be linked.
22:28:41 <pa_3859> how can i figure that out? i've made iso images of the cd, placed on my flash, but when i tried to run from the usb, the computer inevitably asks for the cd
22:30:13 <gluxon> pa_3859: If the program installs to the location it should (C:\Program Files) you can try to copy it out, and place the application folder on your flash drive.
22:31:24 <gluxon> That *might* succeed in allowing you to run the application from your flash drive, but settings will not be carried upon removal of the USB.
22:32:03 <gluxon> *might*, if the application does not require a dependency.
22:32:38 <pa_3859> ok. i'll try that.
22:32:51 <pa_3859> dependency on?...
22:33:20 <gluxon> A DLL, .NET, Java
22:36:55 <pa_3859> oh boy! so all in all, this may not be possible. is there no one program that can bundle this up & make it work?
22:38:22 <gluxon> pa_3859: Correct, and I don't know the answer to your second question. All I can say is the possibility is low due to the lack of popular usage on SECAPS.
22:38:40 <gluxon> *SESAP
22:38:43 <pa_3859> ok. thanks
