Request Apps

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

Requset an app for paranoid people like me?

Maybe this has already been thought, I know there is one like this.

The app function would read the registry and directory of all drives. Storing the data in a user named file. Using the app again the user may select file name to compare added altered or deleted line in the registry with current scan. Along with directories that are created, altered and deleted as well as files added.

I found one here I think, but it was limited to only scans made during the apps run.

Let me know, thanks in advance.

PhotoRec

PhotoRec has to be a fairly good shout (although the irony of a piece of software loaded on a usb drive that is intended to rescue usb drives maybe a little ....extreme)

it operates under GNU open license and is completely portable

New Registry Simulator

Submitted by gregnorris on October 30, 2008 - 11:41am

I've seen similar programs out there but, none that quite meat this idea. I'm just starting to learn programming and I'm not in a class (yet) so I only know some of the basics. The idea is to create a small program in the computers RAM or Virtual RAM that would act like a registry. The program would be considered to be the registry by other programs thus allowing a fake registry. The program would, of course, have to save it's registry entries in a portable file for easy repeated use. It would use a hierarchy system so it could use the real registry with the fake one.

HDD Benchmarking / Iometer

Submitted by hm2k on October 30, 2008 - 11:28am

Iometer seems pretty good, it was made by Intel, so it must be fairly good...

Notability because it's on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iometer

Open Source because it's on SourceForge: http://iometer.sourceforge.net/

I also came across a similar application which is also open source found here: http://www.iozone.org/

There's loads of other HDD benchmark tools such as CrystalDiskMark and HD tune, but these are only freeware, and not open source, nor are they portable.

With HD Tune in mind I also came across some S.M.A.R.T. tools...

I think this software could become a part of PortableApps because it is freeware and it is a great looking software.

Can anyone develop this software to become part of PortableApps?
