Start-Up

Submitted by Akkifokkusu on November 20, 2008 - 9:19am

Program: Start-Up

License: GPL

Description: Start-Up is a utility for creating shortcuts of files and applications in a PC's Startup folder. It is made to be placed in a computer's SendTo folder to allow it to be run from a file's context menu. It is still a portable app, though, because an alternative method is simply to drag a file onto Start-Up.exe. That file will go into the PC's Start-Up folder.

httphotos portable?

Submitted by digicamsoft on November 19, 2008 - 5:13pm

Hi,

I'm the main author of httphotos which is a tool to create web galleries.
It can be downloaded here:
http://www.digicamsoft.com/softhttphotos.html

It's size is less than 1Mb (940kb) and I'm ready to make it portable (I'm sure it's going to be very easy).
It's freeware but not open source though, is it an issue?

Please let me know,
Thanks,
Greg

Baralga

Baralga is a time tracking program that I have grown quite fond of. Unfortunately it saves all the time data to my hard drive. I'm not a Java programmer so I don't quite know where I would even start. If somebody would like to take a run at it, I'd be most appreciative. If there's some documentation somewhere about what one does to make an app "portable," that would be great too.

Cheers!
Aaron

MobiPocket Reader

Before anyone says anything, I know that it is not opensource and that the source code is not available. I think it would be nice to have a portable version on my thumbdrive. I'm no good at programming, so I can't do it myself, but surely there has to be some way of making it portable. M$$ Reader would be a good one to have as well. I have ebooks for both platforms, but no way to read them. Now if what I'm asking is impossible, let me know and I'll live with the world I'm given.
