Portable Apps as U3 backup Launcer app
U3 drives are disabled in many computers now
a launcher like portable apps configured to launch
the programs already present in u3 as a backup would ...
save space using the programs present and the ability to
launch non u3 as well would be very welcome even with Xtraveller
please consider a mod to make Portable Apps the U3 backup launcher
for those U3 programs that can be launched without U3

portableapps menu please make menue arrows
visible white on white is hard to see

Hello,

Spicebird is a "free and open source collaboration suite", pim, rss-reader and mailclient, based on thunderbird 1.

A portable version exists from Caschy, but it's not an official version.

What do you think about this project? It's possible to take it to the list of apps making portable?

Regards,

Teuchtlurm

USBTeX is a version of LaTeX for USB. Can this become an official PortableApp? Link is here:

Request List

KeePass 1.10
Miranda 0.7.3 (Ok, Pidgin does all what Miranda but I know some who prefer it over Pidgin due to the wider range of plugins available).
XChat 2.8.5e
GPG for Thunderbird Portable (Updated to use GnuPG 1.4.8 )
Pidgin 2.31 ?? (There are supposedly still a few bugs in this release, and so it may be better to wait for the next release)!!

The above are all OPEN SOURCE.

Portable Apps use of a launcher for Xamp made me think of this one. where the use of a launcher is used because it's better for xamp to be in the / directory. My thought however is for a Universal Launcher for applications that can just be placed in the PortableApps/ folder in there own folder such as /PortableApps/Blender3D/ but once you do you find two or more iconts to the application, and when you have several applications you don't want multiple icons for each one.

Hai,

Does anyone know how to get voipbuster running?
thanks!

someone asked for READ/WRITE indicator for flash drives sometime ago.after lots of searching....

i got this neat little app on this page
http://www2.hiren.info/download/freeware/hdd_indicator.zip

as this indicator is meant only for HDD therefore it only supports fixed drive letters
search this forum on how to get your drive to have fixed drive letters.
well i will do the work

Friends,

I would like to grab your attention to "PC Repair System"- a set of nice, free and very useful programs. This set of programs is being offered at http://www.dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-systems/3/. All the programs are already portable. But I think it will be more useful to make them available in the standard format of PortableApps.

Program: Grisbi
License: Open Source/GPL
Description: Personal Finance ( similar to MS Money or Moneydance )
Website: http://www.grisbi.org/

I have found that GNUCash is available, but this program is a lot smaller ( it will not compete with the functionality of GNUCash, but totally enough for keeping track of transatctions, bank accounts, etc... something like one-entry book-keeping)
