15:19:12 <pa_9561> hello c:
15:19:26 <Gizmokid2005> hello palogbot
15:19:29 <Gizmokid2005> hello pa_9561
15:19:42 <pa_9561> I got a question
15:19:47 <Gizmokid2005> ask away
15:20:25 <pa_9561> alright so, how can i have a portable app save its data directory to a different flder?
15:20:38 <Gizmokid2005> some of them allow for you to move the data location
15:20:39 <Gizmokid2005> but not all
15:20:44 <pa_9561> folder*
15:20:48 <pa_9561> google chrome?
15:21:32 <Gizmokid2005> probably not
15:21:35 <Gizmokid2005> why would you need to move it?
15:22:17 <pa_9561> the app is on a network drive, i need to have the /data/ on my personal drive, my network admins delete any application not on the network drives
15:22:44 <Gizmokid2005> You could manually copy it or do some kind of symlink
15:22:50 <Gizmokid2005> but I don't know of a way with chrome to move the data location
15:23:19 <Gizmokid2005> but pa_9561
15:23:27 <Gizmokid2005> if you look in the Other\Source folder
15:23:27 <pa_9561> yea?
15:23:31 <Gizmokid2005> you'll find GoogleCrhomePortable.ini
15:23:43 <Gizmokid2005> which if you copy that so it sits next to the GoogleChromePortable.exe and modify the paths
15:23:45 <Gizmokid2005> that might work.
15:24:25 <pa_9561> okie dokie, is there any way i can get it to copy the /data folder the first time only or no?
15:25:02 <Gizmokid2005> well, that wouldn't be copyings
15:25:05 <Gizmokid2005> *copying*
15:25:11 <Gizmokid2005> that would be using the specified folder always.
15:25:12 <pa_9561> i mean
15:25:28 <pa_9561> lets say the network drive is Z:\
15:26:01 <pa_9561> Z:\googlechrome\data has the core files but i need it in H:\googlechrome\data
15:26:25 <Gizmokid2005> So change the data paths in the .ini to be the H: path
15:26:50 <pa_9561> will it populate automaticaly?
15:26:58 <Gizmokid2005> populate what?
15:27:09 <Gizmokid2005> You'll need to copy the data folder to where you want it to be if you're moving it
15:27:19 <Gizmokid2005> then if you set the ini it'll use that location for every other launch.
15:27:26 <pa_9561> okie dokie
15:27:32 <pa_9561> thank you very much!
15:27:41 <pa_9561> ill check back later with results c:
15:28:05 <Gizmokid2005> you're welcome

15:38:00 <Nikon|notathome> hey there
15:38:12 <Gizmokid2005> 'ello
15:38:24 <Nikon|notathome> Gizmokid2005: so, ProfileDirectory=H:\Google\Data\profile just makes a folder called H
15:44:04 <Nikon|notathome> Gizmokid2005: any ideas?
15:44:18 <Gizmokid2005> Nikon|notathome: I'm not sure if it's a fully qualified path that is accepted
15:44:27 <Gizmokid2005> it might only be a relative path
15:44:38 <Nikon|notathome> would quotes help or no?
15:45:01 <Gizmokid2005> probably
15:45:03 <Gizmokid2005> give it a shot
15:48:31 <Nikon|notathome> no dice
15:50:39 <Gizmokid2005> It might be worth posting in the forums then
15:53:16 <Nikon|notathome> hmm okie dokie
16:00:16 <Nikon|notathome> is it in the GoogleChromeProtable.ini that i should be looking at?
16:03:11 <Gizmokid2005> yup
16:04:04 <Nikon|notathome> is there documentation on that?
16:04:13 <Nikon|notathome> http://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format
16:04:15 <Nikon|notathome> that?
16:04:36 <Gizmokid2005> Documentation for what, exactly?
16:04:52 <Nikon|notathome> GoogleChromeProtable.ini that style of ini
16:05:17 <Gizmokid2005> well, what do you want to know?
16:05:42 <Gizmokid2005> because nearly every .ini file has the same basic syntax.
16:05:49 <Gizmokid2005> there's nothing really special about ours.
16:05:53 <Nikon|notathome> ProfileDirectory
16:06:19 <Nikon|notathome> what do i need to have it not use a relative directory
16:10:53 <Gizmokid2005> I"m not sure that there's any specific docs on that
16:11:08 <Gizmokid2005> I'm not sure you're going to be able to do what you're looking for with wanting to change the drive location
16:11:13 <Gizmokid2005> but I"m not sure
16:11:19 <Gizmokid2005> hence why I suggested posting in the forums.
16:12:52 <Nikon|notathome> ahh
16:12:55 <Nikon|notathome> alright\
