03:53:47 <stoned> hi
03:53:50 <stoned> help
03:54:03 <stoned> I need the portable apps launcher to always be visible
03:54:12 <stoned> It used to be, but no longer. Now if I click outside it, it hides.
03:54:18 <stoned> I can't find the option to make it visible always
03:54:20 <stoned> please advise.
03:56:15 <gluxon> stoned: You need to modify the Platform's INI file.
03:56:16 <gluxon> http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#advanced
03:56:27 <gluxon> Add RemainVisible=True
03:57:18 <stoned> under what section gluxon
03:57:28 <gluxon> Advanced Features.
03:57:34 <stoned> nevermind
03:57:36 <stoned> displayoptions
03:58:44 <stoned> It would be nice if we could have multi monitor support.
03:58:57 <stoned> I'd like it to always open and remain on a certain # display.
03:59:12 <gluxon> stoned: Can't you drag it into that screen?
03:59:13 <stoned> but whenver the window opens, it only ever opens on the very first primary monitor
03:59:16 <gluxon> And keep it open?
03:59:28 <stoned> Yeah, but I've been dragging it there every single time every time
03:59:33 <stoned> It's kinda getting annoying.
03:59:40 <stoned> And also, the launcher is a bit too huge/big
03:59:41 <stoned> Way too big.
03:59:55 <stoned> Could be smaller. I'm actually about to get a shortcut bar and make shortcuts to all the apps in the PA dir
03:59:56 <gluxon> stoned: It would be nice to have, but there's higher priorities at the moment.
04:00:12 <gluxon> And the majority of users do not use multi monitors.
04:00:32 <stoned> Don't get me wrong
04:00:35 <gluxon> Not saying support for that isn't important, just not as important as full screen reading.
04:00:43 <stoned> I'm no just waltzing in here and demanding features
04:00:44 <stoned> :
04:00:45 <stoned> :)
04:00:49 <gluxon> :)
04:01:05 <stoned> I would however like to see a smaller launcher
04:01:16 <stoned> as well as the option to set always visible in the option dialog
04:01:57 <gluxon> stoned: The next version should be smaller.
04:02:07 <gluxon> It removes the logo at the top.
04:02:15 <stoned> Yeah
04:02:24 <stoned> the start menu design is not really that great
04:02:29 <stoned> we already have a start menu
04:02:51 <stoned> I use it as my primary launcher
04:02:54 <stoned> I don't install apps on my system
04:03:11 <gluxon> stoned: Can you voice your concerns in the forums? I share some of them and it would be seen by more people there.
04:03:41 <stoned> Perhaps
04:03:56 <stoned> ATM I'm not even high
04:04:00 <stoned> My best mate's mom died
04:04:04 <stoned> my parents lost business
04:04:16 <stoned> family is borke and make be homeless soon
04:04:20 <stoned> brother is in the hospital
04:04:30 <stoned> and I've got my own problems
04:04:36 <stoned> I had to make time to come in here and ask for support.
04:04:38 <stoned> :/
04:04:54 <stoned> But since this is important to my productivity
04:05:01 <stoned> I hope to make time to address these in the forums.
04:05:11 <gluxon> stoned: Man, I'm really sorry about that.
04:05:17 <stoned> Thank you
04:05:33 <gluxon> Wish I could help, but best wishes.
04:05:50 <stoned> Positivity and compassion do help. Thank you.
04:06:37 <stoned> On top of that, I hadn't seen my girlfriend barely in two weeks. She IM'd on Facebook, wanted to come over for lunch but I was asleep. I just saw the messages.
04:07:01 <stoned> *sigh*
04:07:42 <stoned> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmfzWpp0hMc
04:07:47 <stoned> Time to medicate.
04:08:27 <stoned> gluxon, btw, thank you very much for your assistance.
04:08:42 <stoned> I wasn't expecting anyone to be around tonight.
04:08:42 <gluxon> Your welcome. Hope your problems do get sorted out.
04:11:47 <stoned> Where's the git repo for this?
04:11:51 <stoned> Maybe I could help.
04:12:05 * stoned does .NET C# a bit of C/C++, mostly web scripting langs and server stuff
04:12:15 <stoned> I also do xbox 360 homebrew, libxenon, libwii
04:12:35 <gluxon> stoned: The Platform doesn't have a repository, the main developer here just provides source for download.
04:12:37 <stoned> vs2012 etc. w/ xdk cross compiler toolchain and fully setup dev sttion
04:12:38 <stoned> station*
04:12:45 <gluxon> The PortableApps.com Launcher on the other hand, is on BitBucket.
04:12:54 <gluxon> I'm going to advocate for the Platform to be moved to Git.
04:13:02 <stoned> As it should be it
04:13:14 <stoned> Changing the gui would be trivial
04:13:20 <stoned> it's just rearranging elements
04:13:28 <stoned> nothing needs to be modified for that.
04:13:47 <stoned> I have no idea who it's done, winforms or winapi
04:13:50 <stoned> wpf?
04:14:02 <stoned> I haven't even looked at anything source realted to this proejct yet
04:14:26 <gluxon> It's written in Delphi.
04:15:01 <stoned> Oh
04:15:16 <stoned> I'm not familiar w/ that at all. But how hard could it be.
04:17:40 <stoned> ah
04:17:44 <stoned> objPascal
04:18:05 <stoned> a bit unorthodox syntax
