Request Apps

I've been looking for a portable file indexer for quite a while. When I say indexer, I'm thinking of the functions that Google Desktop, Yahoo Desktop and Copernic Desktop do. I'd like to have a self-contained indexer on my USB drive.

In addition, is there any kind of file indexer that can create an index of removable media on a desktop computer? I have 100+ CDs with data on them, and it'd be great to be able to index them all, and have that index available on my desktop. This program would live on the desktop and accumulate index entries from each of the 100+ CDs.

Are there any such things?

CCleaner is already pretty simple (im my opinion), so I don't think that making it portable would cause some major problems. Browsing on a USB stick with Firefox is already pretty portable, but any leftover temp file/registry entries won't get deleted, so porting CCleaner could help clear those out.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a "firewall" to protect my usb drive, from the computer/internet/network/... I don't care about the computer I'm working on. Also I would like it, once I start it up, (autostart.asi / Pstart / manualy ) to protect my usb drive in the background, It does not matter to me if it leaves on the computer regestries (or files...) as long as I can go and plug into anouther coputer and still be protected (once of course the program is started). I have stinger, which scans the drive, but does not protect it.

Any ideas? Anythink like this exist?

I would greatly appreciate if somebody could create a eMule portable app (www.emule-project.net). eMule is extremely useful, but if I could bring it to a faster connection - now THAT would be useful! eMule is used like any other file sharing utility - to download files illegally. So please, help create equality (make it so the rich people aren't the only ones that get their programs) and make an eMule portable program.

Hello
I think there should be an App like the U3-Usb Sticks (but no depend on the hardware).
I don't now if this is possible but it would be a large step to Software on USB.
It could block the registry just for the programm you start with this Software and copy the registry entries in an .reg datei.
If this is possible, i think it would be an really good programm.
Thanks.

Please excuse my bad english i'm from Austria

Hi there, long time first time!

First off all, I want to thank John T. Haller, for taking the time to make all of these useful softwares portable. Thanks!

Now moving on...

I was wondering is there a possibility for you to create a U3 launch menu like for .app applications? My flash drive is U3 smart and you can imaging, it would be really nice to be able to launch .app application right from the U3 launch menu.

Thanks.

On January 23rd, Scribus 1.3.2 has been released (http://www.scribus.org.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&...).

It now features a native Win32 port (http://windows.scribus.net/) which greatly improves performance and remove the need for Cygwin.

It would be nice to have a portable version of this fantastic piece of software.

be a fantastic combination for portable encryption/signing. Of course I understand context menu options (such as right clicking on a file) couldn't list the encryption option because it would require an install but even without it's still cool. Maybe a .reg file could also be included so if people wanted/were able to they could get the menus in explorer. At the moment I'm using the non-portable version and it's a pain in the ass when it needs updating etc. Portable app is easy, delete the old and put the new, first of all saving preferences.

How about a Python compiler?
I know it uses an installer currently, but could it possibly run from USB?

I was using Apache2Triad for a long time but I found a server called Uniform Server. This is a tiny(20-30mb) server which includes Apache MySQL and PHP.

I will be happy to see this program in portableapps.com.

Here is an explanation form http://www.uniformserver.com:
The Uniform Server is a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server.
