10:43:54 <pa_2673> how can i tranfer portable apps from one storage to another, e.g. only firefox ?
10:54:50 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You can simply copy the folder where the program is. (The program needs to be closed when you do that.)
11:12:36 <pa_2673> Thank You !!
11:15:40 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You're welcome. :)

12:03:23 <kerl> hi
12:04:09 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Hi kerl
12:05:34 <kerl> I would like to make a program portable. it is a .net application nearly portable. How could I make it save settings in its directory ?
12:05:48 <kerl> this is the app:
12:05:56 <kerl> http://smath.info/wiki/%28S%28p1gq0245uny440554qdivzik%29%29/SMath%20with%20Plugins.ashx
12:09:07 <TPFC-SYSTEM> See http://portableapps.com/node/14868 .
12:10:00 <TPFC-SYSTEM> That forum post is mainly about creating applications that you plan to distribute, but some of its advice should be useful to you anyway.
12:11:03 <TPFC-SYSTEM> The complete reference of what you can do with the PortableApps.com Launcher is here: http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ref/launcher.ini/index.html#ref-launcher-ini
12:11:59 <TPFC-SYSTEM> For example, if SMath saves settings in %APPDATA%, you can use DirectoriesMove: http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ref/launcher.ini/filesystem.html#directoriesmove
12:16:15 <kerl> Thanks! added to my bookmarks. I'll take a look soon to see If I manage to make an installer.
12:16:53 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Sure thing. :)

15:12:53 *** zoz (51590063@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.89.0.99) has joined #portableapps
15:14:36 <zoz> hello. i've got for at least two weeks the same issue while updating apps: the download goes up to 90% or so, then i got an error and update aborts for that program. how can i fix this?
15:17:13 <Gizmokid2005> zoz: I haven't run into any errors, have you tried a different internet connection?
15:17:25 <Gizmokid2005> it could be a flaky connection or some kind of "safety" software causing an issue.
15:18:11 <zoz> no new software / updates, and other apps are updating ok
15:18:27 <Gizmokid2005> do you get any specific errors?
15:18:47 <zoz> right now i have trouble installing sigili and got the same error while downloading.
15:19:04 <zoz> the errors are generic ... something like "could not download ..."
15:19:09 <Gizmokid2005> what is the exact error?
15:19:46 <zoz> right now i;m installing some new apps and in 5 minutes i;ll try again to update one of the troubled apps
15:24:56 <zoz> the error is: "download error: file open error on file ....."
15:25:20 <zoz> there's an url to downloads .sourceforge.net
15:25:39 <zoz> and it manages to download 26968 KB out of 26972 KB
15:26:10 <zoz> basically all of the updates with this problem are acting la this
15:26:53 <Gizmokid2005> for what app?
15:27:19 <zoz> bender, gnucash, gramps, libreoffice, maxthon cloud, spybot
15:27:28 <zoz> dang, blender ...
15:27:45 <zoz> all 6 are over 30 megs in size
15:28:40 <zoz> up to the last kB all goes ok, but there it freezes
15:28:55 <zoz> should i download paf files by hand?
15:29:01 <Gizmokid2005> Give me a moment zoz, I'm testing updating GnuCash through the updater
15:29:25 <Gizmokid2005> It sounds like an issue with downloading them, and doing them by hand won't hurt anything, so you can do that if you'd like.
15:30:30 <zoz> i had this kind of issues with sourceforge before and i used wget with several retries until i've got whatever file i wanted to d/l
15:30:52 <zoz> ok, thanks for your time
15:34:49 <Gizmokid2005> the host I'm currently connected to is very slow, I'm only averaging 150K/s download
15:37:23 <zoz> that's a message received by wget from sourceforge
15:37:24 <zoz> Download Problem Please try again There was a problem serving the download, please hit the 'back' button and try again. If that still does not work, try selecting a different mirror -- there is a link in the header of the download page.
15:37:42 <zoz> finally i've got the file with wget
15:39:59 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, the download did complete successfully for me.
15:40:05 <Gizmokid2005> it's likely just an issue with certain SF mirrors...
16:00:25 <zoz> wget crashes while attempting 2 simultaneous downloads .. nice. 10x again, have a nice morning/day/evening/night ... ;)
