Request Apps

It's a very simplistic program that shrinks the size of .jpg files.

Could be useful for people wanting to email pictures (now more then ever with 5mp and higher cameras becoming common). Could also be bennifical for web developers wanting to shrink the size of .jpg

can be found at http://www.jdmcox.com/ and is listed in other apps.

The source code is also found on the page, but it doesn't state one way or the other if it's open source.

"The Guide"

http://theguide.sourceforge.net/

has been mentioned here before, but the application is not totally portable in it's current state. However it's a great note taking app and I would appreciate a portable version.
Stated to be Opensource as well.

Maybe ..Calculator Portable?

Just a thought.

I came across this open source app that can pull media information from media files. It appears to handle both audio & video. I've copy from their website some of the information that it gets from files, and some of the media files the app supports:

What information can I get from MediaInfo?

* General: title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration...
* Video: codec, aspect, fps, bitrate...
* Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate...
* Text: language of subtitle
* Chapters: number of chapters, list of chapters

Hi All

I would like to request a PortableApps version of Dia for Windows. This application is an alternate choice to MS Visio and is licensed under the GPL.

I know that John - usually - does no beta versions.

BUT this one may be worth an exception since

a) 7-Zip v.4.42 is quite old meanwhile and
b) the actual 4.51 beta is not a "real" beta but an advanced version close to final (it runs veeery stable like all its predecessors and does - besides some new functions - contain lots of bugfixes over v.4.42)

Maybe worth the hassle of some pre-release Beta testing since it should be easy to update...

I was looking through the portable freeware website, and I saw this open source project that might make an interesting addition to the operating systems list.

It's a DOS emulator. Based on the discription, it not only creates a dos session, but emulates an older PC. I guess the idea is to allow older dos programs to run in an environment that they're origionally designed for.

tools to encrypt files based on GPG (gnu privacy guard)

Can InfraRecorder(CD/DVD writing software) be turned portable? and also Battle for Wesnoth(Computer game)? and Inkscape(vector graphic editor)?
