09:33:10 <krychek> hi, is there a faq for portableapps?
09:33:25 <krychek> it seems like im not using them correctly
09:33:52 *** TPFC-SYSTEM (~system@gateway/tor-sasl/tpfc-system) has joined #portableapps
09:34:22 <krychek> portable chrome puts everything to c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
09:34:29 <krychek> its not portable at all
09:35:07 <TPFC-SYSTEM> PortableApps.com Launcher moves settings into the Data directory on exit.
09:36:02 <krychek> maybe its because i first started googlechromeportable.exe then pinned it to the taskbar
09:36:17 <krychek> then i only start chrome with that
09:36:41 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Oh, I see. In that case you are starting chrome.exe directly, bypassing the launcher.
09:36:51 <krychek> yes
09:37:02 <krychek> i didnt know i wasnt supposed to do that
09:37:26 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Well, now you know. :)
09:37:50 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You can right-click GoogleChromePortable.exe in Windows Expolrer and select "pin to taskbar".
09:38:03 <krychek> i see
09:38:21 <TPFC-SYSTEM> The disadvantage of that, thoguh, will be that you will see two Chrome icons when Chrome Portable is running.
09:38:28 <TPFC-SYSTEM> But at least it will be portable.
09:38:55 <krychek> thanks
09:39:08 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You're welcome. :)
09:39:21 <krychek> this is why some readme or faq would be helpful
09:40:05 <TPFC-SYSTEM> There is one: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_app
09:40:16 <TPFC-SYSTEM> But it fails to mention this problem. :(
09:42:02 <krychek> and i have another question: what about the apps that can upgrade themselves? is it ok for them to do it?
09:42:39 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Depends on the app. Usually not.
09:43:02 <krychek> chrome and firefox upgrade themselves
09:43:09 <TPFC-SYSTEM> The PortableApps.com Platform has its own updater. Use that one if possible.
09:44:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Firefox's auto-update is known to be safe: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable/faq#1
09:44:55 <krychek> this document is from 2006
09:45:38 <krychek> are you a developer btw?
09:46:01 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I'm not a PortableApps.com developer.
09:46:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I am a developer, though.
09:47:58 <krychek> we need to bring these two things to their attention, wouldnt you agree?
09:49:24 <TPFC-SYSTEM> "Their"? Who are they?
09:52:41 *** sar3th (~sar3th@unaffiliated/sar3th) has joined #portableapps
09:52:47 <krychek> the people who make portableapps.com
09:54:04 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I see. Regarding the pinning problem, they are fully aware: http://portableapps.com/node/20322
09:55:17 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Regarding updates, they indeed should document somewere if Chrome Portable should be allowed to update itself.
09:55:47 <TPFC-SYSTEM> AFAIK, they read the logs of this IRC channel. So we only need to wait.
09:57:37 <krychek> ok :) thanks for your support! i will be on my way now. bye!
09:57:50 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Cheers!
