04:27:13 <pa_9849> What would it take to get an app officially released, on the app store and everything.
04:32:39 <gluxon> pa_9849: It has to go through the release process, and the developer has to agree to the guidelines.
04:32:43 <gluxon> Let me fetch the link.

04:45:58 <MrUnkownGuy> hello!
04:46:01 <MrUnkownGuy> help!
04:46:58 <MrUnkownGuy> my autorun configuration is missing
04:47:15 <MrUnkownGuy> where can i download the autorun config?
04:47:16 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: Elaborate please? Autorun.inf is missing?
04:47:34 <MrUnkownGuy> i think so
04:47:46 <MrUnkownGuy> is there a way to get it?
04:48:13 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: Reinstalling the PortableApps.com platform will add a new autorun.inf if yours has been deleted somehow.
04:48:23 <MrUnkownGuy> ok i'll try
04:48:26 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: It is also possible that your Autorun.inf file is hidden by Windows.
04:48:42 <gluxon> You can enable "Show Hidden Files" in Windows explorer to check if that's the case.
04:48:43 <MrUnkownGuy> i have the show all hidden item checked
04:49:38 <MrUnkownGuy> when i re-install, do i have to re-install ALL of my Apps?
04:49:42 <gluxon> No.
04:49:44 <gluxon> Of course not.
04:49:52 <gluxon> You just install the Platform over your current drive. :)
04:50:00 <MrUnkownGuy> ok thanks!
04:50:01 <gluxon> So basically, install it again.
04:50:06 <MrUnkownGuy> adios amigos
04:50:12 <gluxon> pa_9849: Thanks for being patient. There are many resources available in the developers section of the website. http://portableapps.com/development
04:50:22 <MrUnkownGuy> goodbye, friend!
04:50:27 <gluxon> pa_9849: After you have created your own launcher program, post it on the Beta forums for testing.
04:50:38 <MrUnkownGuy> ok thanks
04:50:48 <MrUnkownGuy> Aaaaaannnndd that's enogh.

04:51:21 <pa_9849> gluxon: And the guidelines I need to get the dev to consent to?
04:51:35 <gluxon> pa_9849: Basically the Format 3.0
04:51:41 <gluxon> And usage of the PortableApps.com Launcher.

05:31:20 <MrUnkownGuy> help!
05:31:50 <MrUnkownGuy> i am back and I have re-installed the Portable apps but the autorun.inf is still missing!
05:33:38 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: It has to be there at this point.
05:33:52 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: Does your drive show up with the PortableApps.com drive icon?
05:33:53 <MrUnkownGuy> nope, its not there
05:34:02 <MrUnkownGuy> oh! no it doesn't
05:34:22 <MrUnkownGuy> just "Removable Disk G:/"
05:34:28 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: Ok, create your own.
05:34:40 <gluxon> Create a new file and call it Autorun.inf
05:34:44 <MrUnkownGuy> u mean rename the disk?
05:34:50 <MrUnkownGuy> oh yea!
05:35:04 <MrUnkownGuy> now thats what i'm talking about!
05:35:08 <gluxon> Here's a basic template.
05:35:09 <gluxon> [Autorun]
05:35:09 <gluxon> Open=MyApp.exe
05:35:09 <gluxon> Action=Start MyApp
05:35:09 <gluxon> Label=My Portable PC
05:35:10 <gluxon> Icon=MyApp.exe
05:35:26 <gluxon> Label changes the drive name.
05:35:30 <gluxon> Only on Windows though.
05:36:34 <MrUnkownGuy> ok creating file now...
05:41:08 <MrUnkownGuy> ok I have typed this in notepad and have replaced MyApp with Start.exe

05:43:35 <MrUnkownGuy> problem in making the autorun.inf
05:43:56 <MrUnkownGuy> i am trying to save it but the computer says it already exists
05:44:30 <MrUnkownGuy> so i click yes then it says acess denied
05:54:39 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: It sounds like the file is there.
05:54:54 <gluxon> MrUnkownGuy: Do [X]:\Autorun.inf in the address bar for me.
05:54:58 <gluxon> Let me know what pops up.
06:38:23 <MrUnkownGuy> it opened notepad
06:39:53 <MrUnkownGuy> then a window that says Access Denied

17:38:23 <sar3th> hey pa_2278, how can we help?
17:38:52 <pa_2278> how to move the downloaded portable apps into flash drive
17:38:53 <pa_2278> ?
17:39:32 <sar3th> the ApplicationPortable.paf.exe files?
17:39:42 <sar3th> you execute them and select your flash drive as target
17:40:24 <pa_2278> NOpe
17:40:36 <pa_2278> i downloaded the portable apps suite
17:40:47 <pa_2278> then i installed it onto my computer
17:41:04 <pa_2278> then i downloaded apps
17:41:11 *** rainroom69 (~RainrooM@d54C35985.access.telenet.be) has joined #portableapps
17:41:19 <pa_2278> how to move those portable into the flash drives?
17:41:38 <sar3th> well, you can copy the folder to the flash drive but you should keep it in the same directory
17:41:56 <sar3th> i.e. you installed it to C:\PortableApps -> Copy to X:\PortableApps
17:42:04 <pa_2278> should i have to install the suite into the flash drive?
17:42:42 <sar3th> that would work as well, but you will need to install your additional apps that were not part of the suite
17:44:52 <pa_2278> how can i make my own portable apps?
17:45:32 <sar3th> certainly. http://portableapps.com/development is a good starting point

18:01:09 <Guest43396> help! sar3th
18:02:21 <sar3th> what's wrong Guest43396
18:02:47 <Guest43396> CAn You Suggest ME Some Good Apps For Our Daily Uses
18:03:09 <sar3th> what kind of apps
18:03:25 <Guest43396> 1 office app
18:03:33 <Guest43396> 1 multimedia app
18:03:42 <Guest43396> 1 file compressor
18:03:49 <Guest43396> such apps..
18:03:56 <Guest43396> suggest the best
18:04:06 <sar3th> 7zip for file compression
18:04:15 <sar3th> media player classic for multimedia
18:04:42 <sar3th> As for office, i wouldn't know of any, i guess libreoffice is decent enough
18:04:54 <Guest43396> k
18:05:24 <Guest43396> are we allowed to use portable apps that are described in the site?
18:05:52 <Guest43396> can we download a portable app from any other site and combine it with portable apps suite?
18:07:52 <sar3th> most of the apps on the website are free for noncommercial and commercial usage, you can check the license details of each app
18:08:23 <sar3th> and yes, you can download apps from other sources and integrate them into the platform (=launcher application)
18:08:25 <Guest43396> k
18:08:47 <Guest43396> if we install the suite into the flash drive
18:08:58 <Guest43396> and when we use it on an another computer
18:09:13 <Guest43396> should we have to first install it onto that computer also?
18:10:09 <sar3th> no, the portable apps will run on other computers without installation
18:10:34 <Guest43396> apps will run, will the suite will run also?
18:10:52 <sar3th> yes
18:11:44 <Guest43396> the portable apps in the site will be outdated right?
18:12:04 <Guest43396> will they update it often?
18:12:25 <Guest43396> do we have to update it ourselves through thier respective sites?
18:13:08 <sar3th> the apps from the official site are updated frequently
18:13:20 <sar3th> the platform has a built-in updater that helps you to download new updates
18:14:48 <Guest43396> is that automatic updater?
