Stellarium(classic version)

Submitted by kaze001 on February 8, 2019 - 5:26am

PortableApps.com had Stellarium already. But I found Stellarium(classic version) in its website (https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/releases stellarium-0.18.3.1-classic-win32.exe). This version for Windows XP(32bit). I Installed it and it really works on Windows XP SP3.

Maybe PortableApps.com could add this version to portable. Thanks a lot.

QGIS

quick search shows that this has been requested before, but not for a while. Please consider adding Quantum GIS to the stable - QGIS is open source (GNU Public License) and runs great off a thumbdrive. Well it used to at any rate. Recent versions are not so happy (and probably older versions were never properly portable).

Release notes for the current version (1.6) explain how it can be made portable (see http://www.qgis.org/en/about-qgis/qgis-releases.html):

Cryptsync : Very nice open source app for cloud storage

Submitted by papps2 on January 16, 2019 - 6:34am

Cryptsync is one of the best available SW for saving files on the cloud securely.
It is all fully open source. Would be nice to make it a portable app.

I noticed that it saves settings in the registry.
Perhaps this is the only thing to be handled for making it portable.
(Saving settings in a .ini file).
