Installer & Destination Folder

Submitted by hoerby on September 20, 2007 - 5:33am

Hi!

(first: sorry, if this topic has still been discussed in the forum)
(second: sorry for my english)

Installer:

I was happy with the distribution of the Portable Apps via 7z files.
I think, that a "Portable- Application Installer" is some paradox ...
I just want to expand the package.
probably you call it "PortableApps.com Extractor"

Destination Folder:
the second screen of the Installer let choose the directory for extraction.

There i miss the easy possibility to extract in the same dir of the installer.

Local Proxy Server - Almost Working

Submitted by RossGoodman on September 19, 2007 - 6:38pm

Almost there......

I'm always annoyed at having to configure all of my web enabled apps to use different proxy servers when I go on a client site. More annoying when I forget to change them back when I get home.

The solution is to run my own proxy server.
I configure all of my apps to use a proxy server on "localhost:80"

When I change sites all I have to do is reconfigure my proxy server.

All Apps -> My ProxyServer -> RealProxy Server -> Internet

My problem is I could not find a local proxy server program, until I remembered Apache is bundled with XAMMPLite.

Syncronization

Submitted by theco805 on September 19, 2007 - 5:14pm

Hey guys.
Does any one know of any good PortableApps for synchronizing entire folders?
What I'm looking for is a way to keep a back-up of all my memory stick files on my school network drive. So, I want something that would allow me to sync a folder on my memory stick with my folder at school. I would like an application that saved and synched the most recently changed version of documents....
Can anyone suggest any programs????

Thanks Smile

Request for Unknown helpdesk ticket system

Submitted by captlogic on September 19, 2007 - 1:10pm

I'm not posting this to the requested apps section, because I don't have a specific appliction name.

What I'm wondering, does anyone know of an open source, help desk ticketing system?

I'd love to take on the 'programming/conversion' task of converting to a portable application. I've found several freeware applications but they all seem to require a web server. I know you could 'probably' setup one of these to work with xampp, but I was hoping for a more self-contained solution.
