04:34:21 <ParkerR_> Is there a way to get the menu to always show? It's hiding as soon as I click on anything else
04:35:43 <ParkerR_> :O
04:35:58 <ParkerR_> +1 for Windows 8 theme in the 12.0 beta
04:39:31 <ParkerR_> http://i.imgur.com/u0BzW.jpg
04:41:01 <ParkerR_> Aha found my answer "RemainVisible=True"
04:43:15 <ParkerR_> Hmm the menu is not obeying that when I put it at the end of PortableAppsMenu.ini
04:46:04 <ParkerR_> Even changing True to lowercase has no effect

05:11:06 <ParkerR_> Any reason why it wouldn;t be reading that setting?
05:11:10 <ParkerR_> *wouldn't
05:13:56 <AluisioASG> ParkerR_: did you restart the Platform?
05:14:04 <ParkerR_> AluisioASG, Yes
05:14:53 <AluisioASG> Can you paste your INI file ( to e.g. http://pastebin.com )?
05:19:07 <ParkerR_> Sure
05:19:43 <ParkerR_> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jKCZaJCg
05:26:31 <AluisioASG> Move that RemainVisible line to line 2 (right after [DisplayOptions] and before Language=English).
05:26:49 <ParkerR_> Ahh ok will try
05:30:41 <ParkerR_> AluisioASG, Aha thanks
05:34:39 <ParkerR_> AluisioASG, Thanks to you I was able to get a scrolling capture of all my apps. Plus some custom ones I added. http://imgur.com/rW2Kg
05:36:14 <AluisioASG> wow

08:01:13 <PatrickPatience> How I've missed you.
08:01:26 <PatrickPatience> 4 years of logs. Not bad.
08:01:32 <AluisioASG> hai PatrickPatience
08:01:58 <PatrickPatience> Hi... AluisioASG.
08:02:44 <PatrickPatience> I'm still a moderator. That's hilarious.

13:44:09 <Olive6767> I'm trying to make my litle freebie portable. For this purpose I have created the directory structure and appfino.ini file as explained on http://portableapps.com/development , I have used the PortableApps.com Launcher to generate a launcher. All went fine. However now, when i used the generated launcher, I'm returned an error stating that no myapp.ini file is available and the launcher stops. I'm wondering where I could find d
13:44:10 <Olive6767> ocs explaining how to make this file ?
13:48:34 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I think this will help: http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ref/launcher.ini/index.html
13:49:23 <Olive6767> Having a look, thx :)
13:50:14 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Sure thing. :)

14:54:27 <Olive6767> My app is using a .ini file, this file is stored in the OS default user directory, how can I handle this with the launcher?
14:56:32 <Olive6767> the goal would be to have the launcher manage an ini file stored in the portable app itself without having to write custom code in my app

17:47:51 <Olive6767> Ok, looks like my app is now portable, one last thing: where can I find infos on what to make sure of to fullfill smooth updates of my app?
17:54:15 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Well, what do you mean by a "non-smooth" update? Losing settings?
17:55:46 <TPFC-SYSTEM> If you're concerned about settings, try installing your program over itself. If you don't lose settings that way, updates won't destroy settings either.
