Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

simple digital picture editor

Submitted by dsmithe on February 7, 2007 - 4:36pm

I hate to use this word but “Microsoft” has a simple picture editor bundled in with Office called Microsoft Office Picture Manger. It’s so simple to use, my 74 year old mother can use it.

What I’m looking for is a program that can:

1. Crop pictures to a preset size (4X6 5X7 8X10)
2. Red eye removal
3. Adjust brightness, contrast and colour
4. Sort pictures and batch rename them. (drag and drop pictures around in a window, in the order you want them and then rename them all)

Portable File Sync

I have searched the archives and have not seen an actual pre-made portable solution for file synchronization as I have use for one.

With every update, my work PC is getting more and more locked down for "security" reasons. For all personal application use, I have been running portable applications on an external USB hard drive.

Now, for the requested application...

TrueCrypt

So I don't see any truly free encryption programs that don't have to be installed. But I do know of a great app that is 100%(as in beer) that does not need to be installed. Truecrypt is an encryption program that creates a Virtual Drive that is encrypted. This is an opensource project, so is it possible that they can include it in the Suite?

Software that grows its own programming...

This "PortableApps" software systems is exactly what my concept bio-PC's will need... PC's worn on the fore-arm as skin grafts, fed by inerts added to the blood...
Mouse and keyboard obsoleted... You just think it in alpha-fringe... Means that the mindless won't be able to make these computers work... And that means that it will very likely create a serious rift in humanity, and warring divisions, by those unable to grasp the intellectual gap expanse, fighting that which made them feel left behind...
