Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

DraftSight2D CAD package from Dassault Systemes

Submitted by pareshvora on April 27, 2013 - 8:27am

This is given free (though requires registration). I found that the package is portable. However, the .exe file is 3 layers deep. Not sure how to make it portable. Tried copying the .exe and then copying the full folder to 1st level sub-dir after portableapps, but this did not work. Tried also to create shortcut in the 1st sub-dir level, but the portableapps suite does not pickup shortcut file.

I just want to request more games that can be played online over a network, whether it be LAN or Internet. My school quickly blocked AssaultCube and Cube and I would like something to play together with friends for a while.

Ezvid (Video Editor)

Hi peeps..

I'm shocked that there aren't much video editors out there when video editors are really needed these days.
Ezvid is one of the best free video editors and I will greatly appreciate it being in the awesome portableapps! Biggrin

Thanks guys,
We should improve on our video editing apps Wink

Simple Sticky Notes

Submitted by n777 on April 15, 2013 - 6:02pm

Hello!
I'm using Simply Sticky Notes v1 at the moment and it's pure simple. There was a v2 released recently, but unfortunately it cannot be moved as easily as previous version. Additionally the new version supports a recycle bin which is a really big amenity for the end-user.

I don’t have enough patience to go thought the tutorials, howtos (and trust me I’ve tried couple of times).

Maybe someone here could easily port it to portable application?
The only changes the application makes is:
- Create a Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Simnet branch, where it stores… nothing?

Theme changer... Has anyone even heard of one??

I don't even know if there IS an app like this, but is there something that can change the computer theme from one style to another while your drive is plugged in, and swap it back after you eject it?

I do know it would need to have something to determine what OS you use, because XP uses different theme types from the later versions of Windows. It doesn't even use the same kind of frame! I don't know much about coding, but that has to be pretty hard.

Sozi (Inkscape extension)

Submitted by Leon B on April 14, 2013 - 12:57pm

Hi!

Is there a way to make Sozi or rather its dependencies portable?
Sozi is an Inkscape extenstion to make fancy "nonlinear" presentations somehow similar to Prezi, but open source and without Flash.
The extension itself seems to be portable, but it needs Python 2.7, PyGTK 2.24 and LXML to work.

Regards, Leon
