Request Apps

Hello :-),

Short Description:

Program: StarDict 3.0.1 beta
License: Open Source/GPL
Description: Babylon-like Dictionary shell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarDict).
Website: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/

Does anyone here use Snag It from Tech Smith? It's an app I absolutely cannot live without. It would be nice if there were a Portable Apps version of this software. I use PA on my work laptop, which I am not allowed to install anything on (strict company policy) and PA works great for me in this environment!

Thanks for listening!

This may sound like a silly suggestion, because just about every Windows PC has solitaire on it, but what about a portable solitaire game.

I am thinking about attempting make Big Solitaires 3D portable.

Name: Big Solitaires 3D (40+ Solitaire Games in 3D)
License: GPL
Website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/big3dsol
Registry: None that I can see.
Size: 4Mb
Dependencies: OpenGL, Win32 (MS Windows), GTK+, wxWidgets

I am pretty sure it either has an Open GL renderer or requires Open GL. Would that make it non portable?

You should add a portable wiki to your suite of applications.

For a list of already portable wikis:

the tidlyWiki site didn't work with firefox so I would guess the same for their product.
WikiPad also looks promising - Windows and Linux supported apparently is portable ready...

Is there a stand alone portable task list manager application out there?

Many are mentioned, such as GSoft's, yet I haven't found a stand alone task manager.

Now heres a nice little app to have any one intrested in trying to get one to work for the Psion community

I was on sourceforge, and I came across an open source version of Yahtzee that looked interesting.

it's written in c++

From what I can see on their web site (and on sourceforge) , it looks like there was a portable edition made up for one of the older versions of Open Yahtzee, so it should be fairly portable as it is. But I think it would be nice to see a paf version of this too.

Does Winmail opener already qualify as a portable app? It can be found on this page:
http://www.eolsoft.com/download/

Winmail Opener is designed to open the notorious winmail.dat files from Outlook Express users, and it can save the text in rtf format. It also has a pane for attachments, if there were any in the message. The installer file is only 299KB.

I stumbled across a file splitting program that looked interesting and I thought I would throw it out here.

Program Name: Steve's File Splitter
Web Site: http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?500000018198

According to the web site it's written in C++

In one spot on the web site, it states the license is freeware, but in the program description and in the license agreement when the program is installed it's listed as open source.
