04:16:33 <pa_5930> Hello
04:17:04 <pa_5930> I just installed the Portable Apps launcher. I have no idea how the heck it works.
04:17:27 <pa_5930> I installed some apps from the site, but they don't show up in the launcher
04:23:43 <pa_5930> nevermind

13:15:15 <larrybronze> Hi All
13:16:05 <larrybronze> I have a question - I'm running google chrome portable [standalone], and it doesn't seem to want to load any pages
13:17:02 <larrybronze> Specifically, if I enter, for example, google.com, the pointer shows the windows 7 circle ("thinking") icon, but the page never actually loads
13:17:08 <larrybronze> is this a known symptom to anyone?
13:18:21 <Gizmokid2005> larrybronze: no. Does the issue happen with a locally installed version?
13:18:53 <larrybronze> i don't know;
13:18:58 <larrybronze> i don't have install privileges on this system
13:19:22 <Gizmokid2005> it's hard to tell. It almost sounds like something is locking up chrome if you get the Win7 circle of waiting.
13:19:41 <larrybronze> i am on a university computer and installed it to network storage mounted as a drive in this account
13:19:50 <larrybronze> (BTW - thanks for your response!)
13:20:09 <Gizmokid2005> it might be lack of network throughput that's causing issues
13:20:15 <larrybronze> that's what i was thinking too
13:20:17 <Gizmokid2005> but it's hard to say
13:20:21 <Gizmokid2005> that is what it sounds like though
13:20:29 <larrybronze> firefox is working a-ok
13:20:32 <Gizmokid2005> try copying the folder to the local machine and run it from there?
13:20:37 <larrybronze> (a locally installed, full permissions version)
13:20:40 <Gizmokid2005> that will at least eliminate the network thing.
13:20:44 <larrybronze> ahh, ok!
13:21:00 <larrybronze> obvs, that doesn't accomplish what i was looking for long term, but at least it will be good for diagnosis
13:21:14 <Gizmokid2005> right
13:21:58 <larrybronze> i take it chrome portable isn't as popular as FF portable?
13:22:40 <larrybronze> by the way, running it from the local HD works
13:23:14 <Gizmokid2005> Can't say for sure on the popularity thing. Depending on the market, chrome has just as much, if not more market share than Firefox.
13:23:22 <Gizmokid2005> Firefox Portable has just been around longer.
13:23:37 <Gizmokid2005> and is easier to support since it's truly open source, vs chrome
13:24:38 <larrybronze> ah, that makes sense
13:26:01 <larrybronze> just in case this question gets asked again, I found this:
13:26:01 <larrybronze> http://portableapps.com/node/29304
13:26:33 <larrybronze> which states that it's a no-go for running from network drive
13:26:40 <larrybronze> anyway, thanks again for your input

14:03:31 <pa_5551> hello
14:03:56 <pa_5551> anyone not afk?
14:06:14 <Gizmokid2005> pa_5551: it's easier for those that aren't to help if you just ask your question;)
14:06:25 <pa_5551> okay
14:07:06 <pa_5551> I am trying to figure out a portable app's builder, or how to make an app portable without embedding its files into its main exe
14:07:45 *** benedikt93 (~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93) has joined #portableapps
14:08:51 <pa_5551> the sample I have has an exe + a folde named "Sandbox" inside all folders are named with @ in front and end of the nname
14:09:22 <pa_5551> like "APPDATA@ , @PROGRAMFILESx86@ etc
14:09:43 <pa_5551> "@APPDATA@" sorry mistyped
14:10:05 <pa_5551> any idea of a builder with such end results?
14:11:26 <Gizmokid2005> pa_5551: why would you do that?
14:11:35 <Gizmokid2005> you should look at the PortableApps.com Format spec
14:11:41 <Gizmokid2005> it describes how all of that should be handled.
14:12:27 <pa_5551> well idk the maker of this sample , but it runs as fast as the installed one, trying to re-make one with newer version
14:13:03 <Gizmokid2005> PortableApps should run just as fast as the local installs, dependent on the speed of the media they're run on.
14:15:30 <pa_5551> I see reding and giving it a try
