Request Apps

I've just started playing with emacs 22.1 on my usb flash drive after stumbling on this in the README.W32 file:

    To install Emacs, simply unpack all the files into a directory of your
    choice, but note that you might encounter minor problems if there is a
    space anywhere in the directory name.  To complete the installation
    process, you can optionally run the program addpm.exe in the bin
    subdirectory.  This will add some entries to the registry that tell

My friends in school would love to see Code::Blocks become portable. The problem is that we are noob computer science students that don't know yet how to make this wonderful application portable. The university we go to won't install this on their computers. We are aware of Dev-C++ portable but we notice that is outdated and has many bugs reported on sourceforge. We have try Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks in our home and we prefer Code::Blocks much more. We would greatly appreciate you gurus to help us out make Code::Blocks a portable reality.

Thank you all for your time.

I really like PortableApps and use a lot of the tools. One program (that I believe fits the required criteria?) that I thought would be nice (but I lack the expertise) is the WinTin++ Mud Client. I can't seem to find a license agreement on their webpage, but the source is available for download.

I believe this is an original request because I have searched the forums for wintin.

I would LOVE to see someone make a Windows port as a portable app. The Linux version is Open Source, but not their Windows version. I use this so I've purchased a license for the windows version, I just wish it was portable (this is the last program I need to truly say that every piece of software that I use on a daily basis is run from my thumbdrive!).

I'll lavish you with praise?

How about a case of free beer*?

*Note:

Since you can not redistribute a modified version of a non-open source program, most people use launchers. I have a better idea. This may or may not violate lisence, but I dont think it will. What about this. There can be a patch for it. It will only wrk if you have the origional program since it will not host any of it's files in the patch, and it will not violate redistributing copyrights, as the program isn't being redistributed, just a program that modifys it. Would that work? I'd live to see Project 64 portable.

Hi all

Any chance we can add Vistumbler (http://www.techidiots.net/project-pages/vistumbler)?

It's a Netstumbler-like program for Windows Vista, and is both open source and free. Even if it could only be installed without GPS functionality, it would still be a very useful app to have...

Thanks!

Two apps I would like to see would be Inkscape Portable and LimeWire portable. I use GIMP portable, but GIMP does not support SVGs, which Inkscape does. Also, would like for LimeWire to put my songs in my flash drive, and not My Music

Here is a list of apps that might be usefull and could be added to the different catagories on this site.
First this one might or might not be possible to make portable.

There may be some Open Source gems in this article that could be made portable, but no one has "discovered them yet.

Catchy article name to boot...
