Sizer Portable

Submitted by Zachariah on January 11, 2007 - 7:16pm

I think there should be a whole "utilities" section of tiny portable apps (such as snyc/backup, reg cleaner, cache cleanup, and this one...)

http://www.brianapps.net/sizer.html

"Sizer is a freeware utility that allows you to resize any window to an exact, predefined size. This is extremely useful when designing web pages, as it allows you to see how the page will look when viewed at a smaller size. The utility is also handy when compiling screen-shots for documentation, using Sizer allows you to easily maintain the same window size across screen grabs."

A Portable Icon Packager?

You know something that changes all the icons on the system?
One that can run without admin privileges.
This would be useful for people that are under a limited account and are Vistaizing their Windows XP. I know something like this probably cannot be truly portable ( not writing files on hard drive or anything but the fact it is changing some system settings( the icons)).
And this would be great since I am Vistaizing my Winblows XP Pro.

Mild games (less than 400 MB)

Just an idea. Has anyone played an addicting but small-sized game? Like Civilization III? Well, the sizes are small and it can fit on a drive. Except for licensing, it would be possible to create a game that saves everything on the drive. Not even needing a CD. As far as I know, Infogrames and Firaxis are small companies. Maybe a licensing agreement could be met for these addicting Civ games???

Please list any comments below:

Virtual CD /DVD

Submitted by DojoStatic on January 9, 2007 - 7:33pm

I would like to see a portable app that can mount disk images and create disk images. The program would have to create a virtual CD/DVD Drive and emulate the cd encrypt schemes so that the programs would function properly, ala Alcohol 120% or daemon-tools.

Also the program should be able to make disk images from either a disk or be able to create new ones from files, preferably in the ISO standard

Looking for a portable PIM

Submitted by ZsasZ on January 9, 2007 - 1:49pm

I'l looking for a PIM to use with PortableApps. I'm currently using EssentialPIM Pro. I like it, but I'm trying to keep all my apps Open Source if possible. Anyone know of a PIM that is Portable, Open Source, and allows you to define your own categories? Thanks!
