Inkscape Portable (Updated?)

Submitted by gmbutler on October 27, 2008 - 11:47am

Hi guys

I am a graphic designer and as such already use Gimp Portable (works great, of course Smile

I also use Inkscape and would like to have it as a portable app as well, but because I frequently use newer features, version 45.1 is not really usable for me. I found a link to its SourceForge download page here after a search, but its not listed in the apps menu.

I found an portable version of 0.46 named X-Inkscape, but the download size is over 100Mb, where the official release is less than 50Mb. And I would rather have all my portable apps together, as I am all about productivity.

TrueCrypt

TrueCryp is open source and could become portable. I would like to have it so I can mount encrypted volumes on school PCs. Not for p*rn or any thing because I don't roll like that. Plus it would be impossible to look at p*rn any way with all the people and teachers around.

All the free programming languages can be coded to be portable. Also it should include the run-time environments for each operating system in the market. This will be much useful for the programmers when they need to use a public computer. They can create programs in the language they like. And they can execute it from the run-time environment with the portable program. The preferred languages are: Java, Python.
