Inkscape Portable (Updated?)

Submitted by gmbutler on October 27, 2008 - 11:47am

Hi guys

I am a graphic designer and as such already use Gimp Portable (works great, of course Smile

I also use Inkscape and would like to have it as a portable app as well, but because I frequently use newer features, version 45.1 is not really usable for me. I found a link to its SourceForge download page here after a search, but its not listed in the apps menu.

I found an portable version of 0.46 named X-Inkscape, but the download size is over 100Mb, where the official release is less than 50Mb. And I would rather have all my portable apps together, as I am all about productivity.

TrueCrypt

TrueCryp is open source and could become portable. I would like to have it so I can mount encrypted volumes on school PCs. Not for p*rn or any thing because I don't roll like that. Plus it would be impossible to look at p*rn any way with all the people and teachers around.

All the free programming languages can be coded to be portable. Also it should include the run-time environments for each operating system in the market. This will be much useful for the programmers when they need to use a public computer. They can create programs in the language they like. And they can execute it from the run-time environment with the portable program. The preferred languages are: Java, Python.

Okay, let's use the "unofficial" request form:

Program: StepMania

Description: A step-dance simulator, much like Dance Dance Revolution. Supports characters, videos, animated backgrounds and much more (as far as I'm concerned).

Website: http://www.stepmania.com/

Protection ID: Excellent for identification of the latest protections.

Latest Public Version:
v6.2.3 2009(03.2009) - the ultimate Game Protection Scanner.
CDKiLLER & TippeX [02/2003 - 3/2009]

A excellent software,that is totally a freeware, that can also be used on a portable device, but it's a closed-source which I have heard and this software has all the great feature that a protection scanner requires, it has been really improved. It has many other features and tools including which is a must have tool!

Try this excellent and intelligent software yourself.
