Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS)

Submitted by zemega on October 12, 2012 - 3:38am

Hi, I would like to request an portable version of the application Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS). While the program is small, the data it handles ranges from 20MB to 3 TB (the size my research center is handling normally). But before requesting this, I have a question, would it be alright to run this program as a portable app? Given the amount of data it handles, yes, I would be working with 3TB data soon, would it wear out the life of the usb drive? Does each of the program calculation would need acessing the pendrive?

Help make Monster RPG 2 free (and portable)

Submitted by trentg on October 11, 2012 - 2:21pm

Hello,

Monster 2 [portable app link] has been pretty popular here, so I thought I'd post this.

Monster 2 has a paid version called Monster RPG 2 with tonnes of upgrades to it. Well, I'm trying to make Monster RPG 2 free and open source and I need your help. If it happens, it could easily be made into a portable app for this site.

A new cloud feature !!!

I have multiple flash drives And computer. I want my Apps to sync to my other computers (windows) so I don't have to sync them individually. Can you make it sync to the back up files.

Can you also make a automatic back up sync that you can sync by it self while running in the backgroud. Thanks Smile Wink

How to configure LibreOffice to work on live CD/DVD?

Submitted by bouness on October 10, 2012 - 1:44am

Hello,

No matter what I tired, I can't get LibreOffice Portable to work from a CD. I spent six hours today searching and making copies of CDs none of them work so far. I almost had it to work, but it crashes every time after a minute or less due to unexpected error. Also, after the crash, it tried to save the file to the CD.

Can you please provide me with some instructions to accomplish this task. I really need this software to use for my class.

Thanks.

Theme Manager

Submitted by hIVESaRELaW on October 8, 2012 - 9:37am

Since I missed the custom theme functionality in the current Platform, I hacked my own one. It's beta state, but you are nevertheless invited to check it out: https://sourceforge.net/projects/papmodder
Well, it's actually not only a Theme Manager, the themes also can reference on little patches, which allow to change the size and position of labels and buttons. With this feature it is possible to reach maximum customization.

I'd be glad to get some feedback from you

Best Regards,
Julian

I want to transfer all my settings for several applications, for example libre office, firefox, thunderbird ..., to portable apps

How can this be done without problems?

How to excute a script when PortableApps start and stop

Submitted by Jacobo Belbo on October 6, 2012 - 7:30am

Dear All,

I would like to start a script when PortableApps start and another when Portableapps is closed

No matter if the usb key is removed without a clean close of PortableApps.

Example
At start time
execute "rundll32 OpenXX.dll DllRegisterServer"
At close time
rundll32 OpenXX.dll DllUnregisterServer

Thanks for your help

Sponsor or Donation?

Submitted by GrahamG on October 5, 2012 - 3:49am

I donated $160 (100 UKP) two days ago. Didn't notice the difference between Sponsor and donor. It would be nice to see my name in lights for three months (only kidding!). Nevertheless, a "thank you" email would have hit the mark.

Thanks,
