It is the well known editor gvim (www.vim.org) made portable.
There are two flavours:
a "full featured" version and a "lightweight" one.

the project page is at http://portablegvim.sf.net

all feedback is apreciated.

Highlight is a utility to convert source code to various output formats with syntax higlighting. A portable version could be nice for educational use (ie public hosts at universities). The original tool does not save stuff in the registry - only the writing of configuration files need to be observed.

The installer is 1.4 MB. It includes a PortableHighlight.exe

Basicly, Miniamp is a shunken down version of Winamp 3 (yes, 3). Considering that the lite version doesnt install many v5 featues, I didnt see the point (and shaved a bit off the size). I've made the Configuration files (and the playlist) read only - to edit your preferences, give yourself write access (file properties) run winamp, and change what you need to.

The base install is 390KB, but this is with ionly the MP3 in, and wave out plugins. If you need more, grab them from your normal installation. ( Run them through UPX if your really short on space...)

Im not sure how many people are on here, so i'll post it somewhere elseso it doent screw me up

I've posted a test release of Portable Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 bundled with GPG and Enigmail (I'll be making packages available without them in the final release). This release sees a few changes:

1. Updated to use App/Data directories
2. Updated to newest GPG and Enigmail
3. Profile updating for GPG path
4. Registry key backup/restore to avoid "Would you like TB to be the default mail client?" issue on launch

The updated GPG/Enigmail settings and the registry key backup/restore is what needs the most testing. The registry backup is not done when AllowMultipleInstances is on due to conflicts.

I've posted a test release of Portable ClamWin AntiVirus:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Portable_ClamWin_0.88.1_...

It's a 4.9MB download. 18MB installed before you download the definitions . Please give it a shot and post any comments or suggestions back here. This will be publicly released soon.

UPDATE 4/18 11:30pm EDT: The bug has been fixed. Please try it again.

I need a few people to test out a test version of Portable GIMP before release tomorrow. Please don't blog this or mention outside the site as there may be bugs and this may not be the final version of Portable GIMP that is released tomorrow. It uses a couple new methods I came up with just for this app.

It's an English-only release (I'll be doing multilingual as well). It's an 11MB download and only 17.5MB installed.

Recently I wrote a small utility which allows you to play a copy of Guild Wars which resides on a flash drive or portable harddrive. This means that you can take Guild Wars with you when you travel, and play it on any computer you encounter without installing it. Just plug your drive in, launch Portable GW, and go Charr hunting! It's open-source, and written in NSIS.

I'd appreciate it if some of you (who own Guild Wars) could download and test for me. I look forward to any feedback the community offers. T

After creating a portable Scribus based on someone else's code, I decided to try creating a portable app myself, doing the launcher coding myself. (I code with Autoit rather than NSIS)

RSSOwl is an open source RSS Reader. Even though they provide a non-installer download, it still saves profile files on the computer itself. So, I've put together RSSOwl so that it does not do this.

You can download it here:
.Zip, about 5.3MB

Tell me what you think. Tell me if you encounter any problems.

Hi

Hi Portable Apsters, we are working on a new range of simple open source portable apps and would like some beta testers. Ideally you should use your portables from both a USB key and your hard drive, but this isn’t essential.

We have released one already and will have 2 more next week.

People who haven’t beta tested before are especially welcome:)

Thanks very much,

Mat Ripley
