Request Apps

it would be nice to be able to install java (among other plugins i'm sure)
as to avoid having to install java on any computer that didn't already have it
this might be the wrong place to post this, maybe i should tell Sun and hope
for a java extension. anyway just a thought.

Sorry, I think I posted this on the development forum as well.

I thought it would be cool to have a portable spreadsheet application compatible with Excel (like Abiword is compatible with Word).

OpenOffice is cool, but a bit big to be truly portable

PORTABLE APPS RULE!!!

1 suggestion though:

Portable OpenOffice.org is Great, just a bit too big to be really portable.

My biggest reason for using a USB flash drive is to carry a strongly encrypted file with all of the passwords that I'm likely to need and prone to forget. I have used KisKis (http://kiskis.sourceforge.net/) and have tried to use KeePass (http://keepass.sourceforge.net/).

I'm not sure either of these are the best of solutions, but I would be a huge advocate of portable apps if I could get a good portable password manager.

Hi all,
My request is a bit complex, I'm looking for a no-install Podcatcher, that can be run from my network drive but save to my mp3 player or run and save to the mp3 player. The only software I found like this is the podcatcher-on-a-stick: http://www.rotzoll.de/podblogger/mp3stick/ which I didn't like.
Thank you

Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/) currently the best free programming environment I think.

Sorry I didn't know what category to put it into.

I have pstart.exe installed on my usb drive and I was wondering how do we do so it starts automatically when the usb drive is put in the computer. Is it possible? If so plus explain in detail how I can do that. I also would want that without installing anything on each computer

Thanks

Jon

SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html) is a very compact and handy text editor.

just copy and run.

PhotoFiltre (http://www.photofiltre.com/) is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced adjustments to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it.

Just copy the program folder to your portable device and it will run!

Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

And best of all: after installation just copy the inkscape programm folder to your protable device and it runs perfectly!

best wishes
