Canonical Bazaar for Windows (version control system, Python)

Submitted by Ross Kemp on August 1, 2011 - 6:20pm

Good day mates

If some bloke decides to take this challenge and make a portable version of Bazaar for Windows, he will have my sincerest appreciation.

I'm not an expert, but I think making Bazaar portable is doable, and I would attempt to do it myself, but it just seems like a huge amount of work due to all the dependencies and shit.

Thanks in advance
Respect

Renamer with macro

Submitted by bigpallooka on July 28, 2011 - 9:44am

I really enjoyed using the macro function in Oscar's File Renamer. It's development stopped years ago and I had some issues with stability as far back as WIN XP (Win 7 on all my 'puters now). Is there a portable renamer that has this sort of function? I have tried Ant Renamer and find it restrictive or counter intuitive or not dumbed-down enough.
Regards

Optical Character Recognition

Submitted by okg on July 27, 2011 - 7:59am

Just wondering if there were any newer options for portable OCR apps. I've searched through these forums and tried many options (FreeOCR, TopOCR, etc.), tried online options, and searched through sourceforge. Not very many options seem to be good at OCR of screenshots of structured text (text in boxes, like in a spreadsheet). Does anyone have a good portable OCR application that can handle this?

Windows live mail

Submitted by ameisez on July 25, 2011 - 9:13pm

Hi,

I need windows live mail to rebound some of the emails I setup on my thunderbird.

I want to use some of my email in windows live mail.

I did a search and it looks like everyone is pointing to thunderbird. Although it is great, the familiar outlook/word style editor is a lot user friendly.

Hope someone will work on windows live mail.

Thanks
