02:02:05 <Gamemaster77> hey is someone here? I have a quick question?
02:08:00 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: still here
02:11:58 <Gamemaster77> Hi AluisioASG, when i'm using [DirectoriesMove], should that move all the files in it?
02:12:44 <Gamemaster77> I'm still trying to figure that option out though, so I'm going to keep trying some stuff
02:14:18 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: yes. If I recall correctly, doing e.g. AppName=%APPDATA%\AppName will move stuff between %PAL:DataDir%\AppName and %AppData%\AppName
02:16:38 <Gamemaster77> Alright. The game keeps a scenerios folder in it's main directory where the exe is. I'm trying to keep that in the data directory and move it when the game starts
02:17:01 <Gamemaster77> The files seem to be disappearing on me though after an exit though
02:17:15 <Gamemaster77> Ill keep trying stuff and write back in a little bit if I can't get it to work

02:19:09 <pabot> Hi pa_1612! Welcome to the PortableApps.com IRC channel. Please ask your question and someone should be with you shortly. If you do not receive an answer wait a bit longer or consider posting it on the forums.
02:20:48 <pa_1612> thank you! win7 sp1 home prem- can't add wordpad to portable apps menu
02:21:09 <AluisioASG> pa_1612: hm, Windows' Wordpad?
02:21:17 <pa_1612> yes
02:22:36 <AluisioASG> ah. The menu wasn't designed for that, just for portable applications (which include others apps, not only ours, but Wordpad definitely isn't in this category).
02:23:18 <pa_1612> i had it added, then it disappeared
02:23:40 <AluisioASG> How did you do that?
02:24:25 <pa_1612> it is portable in the sense that i can run it from a usbstick -more ans coming
02:25:23 <pa_1612> the way i did it was to copy wordpad into a folder in the port apps directory
02:25:55 <AluisioASG> ah. Which version of the Platform are you using?
02:26:47 <pa_1612> it's the latest-- i'll chk vers # and ans again
02:27:36 <pa_1612> 12.0 beta 2
02:28:16 <AluisioASG> ok. Type / followed by wordpad
02:28:54 <pa_1612> where
02:29:07 <Gamemaster77> AluisioASG: I've got another question about moving directories.
02:29:08 <Gamemaster77> AluisioASG: If it moves a directory to somewhere and a file is added to it, will that file be moved back with to the original location?
02:29:13 <Gamemaster77> AluisioASG: Or will the original location be restored to how it was when I copied it?
02:29:15 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: hold on please
02:29:25 <Gamemaster77> yep, no problem
02:29:29 <AluisioASG> pa_1612: On the Platform.
02:29:44 <pa_1612> ok
02:30:01 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: Will be moved back. Whatever is in the directory when it's moved will be moved with it.
02:30:15 <Gamemaster77> Okay good, that's helpful
02:31:46 <pa_1612> tried it in the wordpad directory & win7 said no to the /
02:32:56 <pa_1612> what do you meaan "on the platform"?
02:33:34 <AluisioASG> On the menu. Make it visible, then type / and then a search field will appear. Then type wordpad
02:35:52 <pa_1612> i did it & nothing came back
02:37:25 <AluisioASG> Ok. On the menu, go to Help->About, then Programs.
02:38:18 <AluisioASG> Then paste the text on the textbox on the dialog to e.g. http://pastebay.com/
02:42:04 <Gamemaster77> I think I just got the hang of it. Solved my missing files problem
02:42:07 <Gamemaster77> thanks for the help
02:42:39 <pa_1612> thank you very much! newbie that I am, I'm not understanding your instructions- so for now i give up
02:46:27 <AluisioASG> pa_1612: still there?
02:52:19 <pa_1612> yes & win7 renames it to "Microsoft Windows Operating System Wordpad" wtf?
02:53:24 <AluisioASG> So, did you find it?
02:54:00 <pa_1612> "wordpad" is apparently some sort of "reserved" word. How do i stop that?
02:54:13 <AluisioASG> It shouldn't be.
02:54:34 <AluisioASG> By the way, I won't be able to help you further. Please ask in the forums if it is still not working.
