00:11:37 <AluisioASG> I just remembered to add .NET 4.5 support to the Launcher.
00:12:00 <JohnTHaller> Cool
00:19:14 <AluisioASG> Hm. .NET version info is not in the usual places. Fortunately dotNETInspector is open source.

16:58:59 <pa_2663> help!
16:58:59 <GizmoBot> pa_2663: 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
16:59:59 <pa_2663> I'm experiencing some unwanted behaviour of the PA platform. Maybe it is a bug.
17:00:08 <pa_2663> Anybody willing to discuss?
17:01:38 <gluxon> pa_2663: Yes, what's the problem?
17:08:13 <pa_2663> When installing a new app I'm given a choice to install it to a custom folder.
17:08:38 <pa_2663> So I renamed the folder to something that suits my needs.
17:08:54 <pa_2663> but now the PA platform doesn't want to update that app.
17:09:53 <pa_2663> Are the users supposed to install in folders with default names to get their apps recognised and updated by the platform?
17:10:18 <gluxon> pa_2663: You have to install it within the PortableApps folder.
17:10:28 <pa_2663> I did that.
17:11:03 <pa_2663> I just installed it in folder "[INTERNET]FirefoxPortable" instead of just "FirefoxPortable"
17:11:19 <pa_2663> The PA platform shows the icon and all works fine.
17:11:36 <pa_2663> just the update doesn't want to collaborate with custom folder name.
17:11:48 <gluxon> pa_2663: Just curious, can I ask why [INTERNET] works better for you?
17:12:30 <pa_2663> Because I have so many apps... and I often start them straight out of the foder
17:12:42 <gluxon> pa_2663: I'm trying to reproduce your problem now. I've personally always installed to the default path.
17:12:46 <pa_2663> and this way putting a tag in front of the names I keep them organised
17:13:11 <pa_2663> Cool thanks :)
17:14:30 <gluxon> pa_2663: Just a suggestion. What I usually do is let the platform organize my apps, and if I ever need to open an app's folder, I just right click and hit "explore here" on the app.
17:18:58 <pa_2663> Thanks for the suggestion, I used it that way before. But now I have a need to start the apps without opening the PA platform and wanted to organise them with some kind of tags in front of folder names.
17:19:46 <pa_2663> But if it doesn't work I will just make shorcusts in a folder and rename the shorcuts instead.
17:20:47 <gluxon> pa_2663: Ok, you're right. The platform doesn't update apps that don't have their default name.
17:21:23 <pa_2663> But it is not supposed to be like this, right?
17:21:29 <gluxon> pa_2663: It may be a bug, or it may be by design.
17:21:37 <gluxon> pa_2663: I'd bet it is not suppose to be like that.
17:22:05 <gluxon> pa_2663: Can you submit a post in the forums? -> http://portableapps.com/forums
17:22:36 <pa_2663> I think also. Otherways why would the installer give you an option to give a custom name?
17:22:46 <gluxon> pa_2663: Yep, good point.
17:22:49 <pa_2663> In the forums? Do I have to register?
17:23:00 <gluxon> http://portableapps.com/forums/support/portableapps_menu
17:23:08 <gluxon> When you make a forum topic, put [bug] right before it.
17:23:28 <gluxon> It'll show up on the bug tracker then, and our main Platform developer (John) will see it.
17:24:36 <pa_2663> Ok. I will try. Thanks for your help!

19:36:32 <gluxon> Hey Espreon :)

19:39:06 <Espreon> Ah, damn it.
19:39:36 <gluxon> Zach hasn't been around much either.
19:39:48 <gluxon> He drops by once in a while, but I think that's it.
19:39:50 <Espreon> Well, I just need to talk to someone who can edit posts on the fora.

19:42:18 <Espreon> Uh-oh!
19:42:22 <Espreon> That's not good.
19:51:32 <sar3th> indeed :(
