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

Hi all, would anyone be willing to do an installer for the ECCO Pro personal information manager? Thank you for your consideration!

File Associations Hijack

Submitted by JJDafoe on February 9, 2007 - 2:32pm

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a portable app that hijacked the File Associations and rerouted them to a .reg or a .ini file temporarily. So that when I put in my drive and run the program I can have my custom list of file associations become dominant... (ie html files open in portable firefox, video files open in portable VLC etc.) Then everything goes back to normal when I close the program and remove the drive.

Inkscape 0.45 UPXes down fairly well

Thought some of you might want to know that you can get the extracted 7z version of Inkscape down by about 20-30MB with UPS (I used UPXShell, and chose the 7z version to avoid initial installation). It's still over 100MB if you leave all files intact, but I'm sure there are loads of readme-type files that could be sacrificed.

Still, so far, I have compressed all the DLLs found anywhere within the inkscape folder tree, plus inkscape.exe and inkview.exe - not yet bothered with python.exe or other files - and the app works fine.
