Request Apps

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

VirtualBox

Submitted by Patrick Patience on July 25, 2007 - 12:54am

This is a request for VirtualBox, a virtualizer for x86 hardware. So if it was made portable, you could run your favourite operating system anywhere.

Now, seeing as John is so amazing at writing launchers, and he says he can't release the portable QEMU package or whatever he says he's created. What about the open-source version of VirtualBox, i haven't tried it, mind you, but it's all the same, just doesn't support the additions.

Looking for app for MS ACCESS

Submitted by SanJuan75 on July 24, 2007 - 9:32pm

Currently have MS ACCESS 2003 at work and have a DATABASE I created in ACCESS 2000. Always making adjustments to the database and looking for a Portable App that I can put on my Camera's SD card which I have put into a USB case. This way I can make updates to the database using my home computer which does not have MS ACCESS.

Thanks for any guidance/direction/suggestions.

Php and SQL

Submitted by pierre1492 on July 24, 2007 - 4:50pm

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to use, on an USB flash drive, a website written in Php and using a SQL database.

Is it possible to install such apps on an USA as the server to run the website?

Thanks,

Pierre

CD/DVD Burning -- Anything at all that will install to a thumbdrive?

Submitted by Sean on July 24, 2007 - 4:02pm

I have a DVD burner in an external enclosure that I would like to use on public PCs to burn disks for others from my thumbdrive. Even if not designed specifically for portable use, has anyone had any luck using any software for DVD burning that will install on a thumbdrive?

Password Protection for USB Key - NOT Encryption

Submitted by DaveI on July 23, 2007 - 8:34pm

My old USB Key DISKGO had a small utility (SecureGuard)
that locked the partition and required a password to
unlock and read the Drive/Key. It was not Encryption
software like TrueCrypt...

Unfortunately I didn't research my new drive (Corsair Voyager GT)
enough...It came with FREEWARE TrueCrypt...I don't want encryption
software and I don't want to either have to load the program on
a PC (requiring to be ADMIN) or to use Travel Mode (Also requiring
PC Admin rights)...

Rapid PHP IDE

This software is not free, but it's pretty cheap - I think around $30.

In version 8 of Rapid PHP, they added a capability to install it to a USB Stick.

I would like to see the ability to add this to the PortableApps menu, even though you would need to buy the RapidPHP sofware separately. Perhaps similarly to how XAMPP needs to added to the menu separately after it is installed.
