WidgetsPortable Launcher

I created a launcher for Yahoo Widgets using the PortableApplication Template.
This is the launcher only, but include instructions on how to download and extract without having to install to PC.
If you have it installed however you can just copy the files to the app\widget directory.

Updated the launcher for 4.0 version.
You will have to download the installer and extract the necessary files using Universal Extractor.
The widgets are stored on the flash drive and not copied to the local profile folder, it takes to long to copy all the widgets all the time.

OpenOffice.org Portable 2.1 Pre-Release 1

I've just posted a pre-release of OpenOffice.org Portable 2.1. New in this version is a long-awaited feature: the ability to use Java from the portable device. This means you can use the OpenOffice.org functionality that depends on Java (Wizards, some Base functions, etc) even from a PC that doesn't have Java installed.

Java is not yet GPLed, so it can not be hosted on SourceForge. Nor can it be repackaged due to licensing. So, you'll need to supply your own.

SnackAmp Portable

Tanisthalon and I had created the portable version of SnackAmp, a multi-platform music player with normal music player abilities, multi-user support, integrated web server, and a powerful AutoPlaylist feature. Currently mp3, wav, ogg vorbis, and many other sound files are supported.

Hope you all can help us testing this application, thanks ^^

XAMPP Launcher 1.0

Newer release posted. Topic locked.

After playing with XAMPP a bit more, I figured it would be handy to have an easy way to get a link to the XAMPP Control Panel to appear in the PortableApps Menu. So, I've posted a XAMPP Launcher. It's a simple package (in PortableApps Format so you can automatically add it) that just links to XAMPP's control panel when you have your typical setup (both PortableApps and xampp directories in your root directory).

Please give it a try. If people like it, I'll add it to the main XAMPP page.

TunnelierPortable v0.1.4.22 available

Hello everyone,

I'm new here, so please be nice Smile

I've created a PAF launcher for a program called Tunnelier (http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier). Tunnelier is commercial software, but can be used freely for personal use.

Tunnelier is a great gui-based SSH/SFTP client. I have used PuTTY in the past, but the user-interface, particularly for setting up SSH tunnels, is cumbersome. Also, I would also need a separate SFTP program (Filezilla or lately WinSCP). I had used tunnelier a few years ago, but found it wasn't portable (or so I thought).
