Request Apps

Do you think it would be possible to make a portable launcher for SimpleOCR (http://www.simpleocr.com/), the only free OCR program I know of?
However, it is not open source, so you will need some kind of "create keys, launch, wait until close, then delete keys" thing...

Hi all,

I'm using a window version of Xara, which is a vector drawing program. They recently released a linux open source version call Xara LX. See website: http://www.xaralx.org . I was wondering if there was any way to make this a portable app but for window users? I tried using EVE and Inkscape for drawing and feel that Xara was easier to use.

Thank You.

I'm looking for suggestions for a good, portable Weblog Client.

Thank you.

It's great that there is the possibility to use the bundle Thunderbird with gnugpg and enigmail portable. But if you want to use gnupg with some other programs, e.g. psi, you need a keymanager, too. So you can use winpt, but you have to install.

I think it would be good to have standalone gnupg and standalone winpt, or a bundle with standalone gnupg and winpt.

There exists the bundle "GnuPG basics" with gnupg and winpt, but it's not portable: http://people.freenet.de/rose-indorf/

It's possible for you to do that - and, of course, are you interested?

Hi,

this topic has been discussed before and always seemed to run into a dead end.

Thunderbird allows the encryption of account-login-name and password.

All other info is still available unencrypted in the files in the folder profile. This includes my email-addresses and mail-providers, address book and at least some of the mail-headers and subjects in the folders.

The latter can be resolved by (securely) deleting all the mailboxes (*.msf) or better still the folders .../ImapMail and .../Mail after shutting down thunderbird. These folders are then recreated once thunderbird is started again.

I have seen posts in the past referring to Adobe Photoshop for portiable app. I have seen it done for InDesign CS. But I have yet to see any information on Adobe Illustrator CS2. To me, having that program would be a huge advantage.

Has anyone attempted it? Or have any knowledge how that might be possible?

i was looking for an application to make AOL(i know really bad isp, but i have alot of friends on there)Portable. I know you could possibly format the thumb drive making it a mini hd in a way, but i was looking at an easier way out of formating it. What im looking for is someone or people to make the new AOL portable so that i may access it via thumb drive rather than installing it on the host computer, and having to move all the program files associated with AOL to the thumb drive. Which if you are like me, you dont know everything to move to the thumb drive. Making the program worthless and frusturating for the person trying to do it on their own.

Like a lot of people, I use TrueCrypt on my USB drive. Even though it's not strictly portable it works for me. For backing up my USB drive I use SyncBack which uses file dates to determine which files have changed. I assumed that every time I used the TC encrypted drive that the timestamp of the container file would change and, therefore, be backed up.

Yesterday I needed to restore my container file from the backup. It turns out that TC by default does not update the timestamp when the volume is unmounted. It's part of plausible deniability. Therefore, my backup process had not backed up the container file since I first created it.

I was looking around the other day at the Freedom Scientific site and saw that they have JAWS 7.0 for USB Thumb Drives... Thought that might be a valuable offering on the site. For either visually impaired users or for application developers trying to make their applications more accessible. Here is the URL: http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_downloads/jaws.asp
