03:46:22 <PatrickPatience> Pssst, Gizmokid2005, Bensawsome, OliverK, Mir.
03:46:29 <PatrickPatience> Jesus, dbdii407 is still around?
03:46:30 <Gizmokid2005> hey PatrickPatience :)
03:46:38 <Gizmokid2005> Yup, but rarely actually connected.
03:47:27 <PatrickPatience> I actually saw you online in Facebook chat and I remembered PortableApps.com and oh memories...
03:47:30 <PatrickPatience> Now here I am.
03:47:33 <Gizmokid2005> :)
03:47:39 <Gizmokid2005> I'm almost always online in FB chat, logged in with pidgin
03:47:47 <PatrickPatience> Haha, me too.

03:59:08 <pa_1993> Hello, anyone available to help with Google Chrome Portable??
03:59:20 *** kAlug (~kalug@2001:0:53aa:64c:30c9:5248:44c6:f77b) has joined #portableapps
03:59:46 <kAlug> pa_1993: Possibly. What's the issue?
04:01:39 <pa_1993> I want to use GCP totally off the web on a flash drive. It will be used to access .html files on the same flash drive. However, I need relative addressing so that no matter what drive letter happens to get associated with the drive, the file will be found. I can't figure out how to do that.
04:02:32 <kAlug> So, you want GCP to automatically open a file when it starts?
04:03:28 <pa_1993> Yes, an hmtl on the flash drive such as file:///X/file.html where X is never guaranteed to be the same
04:03:39 <pa_1993> aacutally X:
04:04:22 <kAlug> Hm. Give me a minute.
04:04:41 <pa_1993> At least, I have spent 3 hours :)
04:05:42 <Mir> PatrickPatience: herpisypilisaids
04:06:00 <Mir> is what i shall deal with on tuesday
04:06:02 <Mir> D:
04:07:10 <kAlug> pa_1993: Try copying the file Other\Source\GoogleChromePortable.ini to the same dir as GoogleChromePortable.exe, and editing the AdditionalParameters line,
04:07:18 <Mir> oh PatrickPatience did you know you are not the only patrick here?
04:07:27 <kAlug> so it becomes AdditionalParameters=\Path\to\file.html
04:07:43 <kAlug> Just don't put the X:
04:08:59 <pa_1993> however, if that path\to\file contains a specific drive letter, say E:, and when another computer assigns the drive F: to the flash drive when it is plugged in, that path won't work
04:09:54 <kAlug> pa_1993: Again, just don't put the X:, so X:\path\to\file -> \path\to\file
04:10:04 <PatrickPatience> Man I was wondering why my computer kept making beeping noises.
04:10:45 <pa_1993> Or say I am on the drive with the folder Stuff in the same folder as GCP and in thgat folder there is the file thing.html, exactly what would your suggestion look line
04:11:01 <PatrickPatience> Mir: I saw a 'PatrickPo' part in the logs.
04:11:17 <PatrickPatience> Who's tarnishing my good name?
04:12:52 <Mir> PatrickPatience: whois me
04:12:55 <pa_1993> What I am asking is how to exactly write the batch file command
04:13:07 <Mir> and no it wasnt me
04:13:19 <Mir> just me and Mirbot
04:13:22 <kAlug> pa_1993: One sec.
04:13:22 <Mir> bot bot bot
04:14:13 <kAlug> pa_1993: Try using just the file's name.
04:14:22 <kAlug> thing.html
04:14:27 <PatrickPatience> Mir: Part of my wants to say Mirror, the other is like Muuuurrrrr.
04:15:42 <pa_1993> that is : googlechromeportable.exe file.html
04:15:52 <pa_1993> is what you mean
04:16:19 <pa_1993> that does not work
04:17:03 <pa_1993> I can drag the file onto the GCP icon and that works, but I am trying to set this up to be automatic for naive users
04:17:31 <kAlug> pa_1993: Copy the file Other\Source\GoogleChromePortable.ini to the same dir as GoogleChromePortable.exe, and edit the AdditionalParameters line, so it becomes AdditionalParameters=file.html
04:19:08 *** JWHough has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
04:19:15 <pa_1993> ok, I have played with that so let me try. BTW: googlechroneportable E:file.html works when the drive is named E
04:22:15 <pa_1993> the addition in additionalparameters dis not work. I am beginning to doubt the possibillity of doing this
04:23:47 *** PatrickPatience has quit (Quit: Page closed)
04:23:53 <kAlug> Open GCP and go to chrome://version
04:24:43 <kAlug> Paste the command-line (it's the second last line, I believe) here
04:25:08 <pa_1993> there
04:25:46 <kAlug> Now copy the command-line (it's the second last line, I believe) and paste it here
04:26:47 <pa_1993> "E:\App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe" --user-data-
04:27:13 <kAlug> Just that?
04:29:16 <pa_1993> dir="E:\Data\profile" --disc cache-- dir="CUsers\Mark\Appdata\Local\Temp\GoogleChromePortale" --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end rs.html
04:29:52 <pa_1993> sorry I am testing it on a different machine not network connected and not loaded with chrome, so I had to type it in
04:30:49 <kAlug> I see it gets the filename...
04:31:53 <kAlug> Maybe... try using ..\..\file.html instead of file.html.
04:32:21 <pa_1993> Question: the default is for chrome to open in the tab page with the address chrome:newtab I cannot find where that is of how it is retrieved, but if I could I could simply edit the html for that page
04:35:01 <pa_1993> You were VERY close. \..\file WORKS !!!!
04:35:30 <pa_1993> that is \..\file.html
04:36:03 <kAlug> Great!
04:36:37 <pa_1993> I am Mark Dubin, a retired professor in colorado, and I thank you :)
04:37:27 <kAlug> You're welcome.
04:38:58 <pa_1993> I had not thought of making that change in the .ini file

18:34:19 <vf2nsr> not much
18:34:33 <vf2nsr> just thought would hang for a bit
18:35:33 <ZachThibeau> cool, I'm just getting some bugs fixed in PChat, some minor and hopefully not major ones lol but either way going through the code while I'm waiting for arkham city to finish downloading on steam for me
18:36:17 <vf2nsr> sweeet I know a lot of people will be happy
18:36:40 <ZachThibeau> I'll be happier when I can get PChat 2 stable and feature complete

18:44:38 <ZachThibeau> mostly c being converted to c++
18:45:16 <vf2nsr> ah nice language but last time I worked in C+ was 1990's
18:45:54 <ZachThibeau> I'm still working a lot of gtk related stuff from the core, really gtk stuff should only be in the gui code
18:46:22 <ZachThibeau> in essence PChat is turning into a complete rewrite of XChat, just taking some time
18:46:36 <vf2nsr> ah I see
18:48:56 <ZachThibeau> especially when I didn't have a monitor for nearly 2 months lol
18:49:34 <vf2nsr> I imagine it hard to write code on ipad lol

23:36:28 <asmodea> is this where I go to for help...?
23:37:21 <asmodea> I just installed portableapps, but I'm not quite sure how to use it. I was hoping to put Microsoft Office on it but I don't know how--or if it can.
23:38:54 *** habr100 has parted #portableapps (None)
23:41:12 <vf2nsr> you can only put apps on it that are legal
23:41:20 <vf2nsr> MS office is not portable
23:41:36 <vf2nsr> and Portable apps is a menu system not an OS
