Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Requesting App: Scribus

Submitted by negative9 on December 18, 2006 - 2:23pm

I think that this Open source MS Publisher clone would be a good fit into the Portable Apps suite.

App. Info:

Name: Scribus

URL: http://www.scribus.net/

Description: "Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout.

Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation."

Thanks for the time and effort! Smile

Jeff,

You need to contact Portable Apps about updating their U3 version of Firefox (https://portableapps.com/u3apps).

You can reinstall free programs from U3 Software Central or from the manufacturer, if they have any. Launchpad, Add Programs.

So here

Request for ASTERISK OpenSource VoIP

Submitted by bjtreusch on December 15, 2006 - 2:43pm

With the hype around VoIP- Vonage and Skype lately (especially Vonage's portable thumb drive phone) I would like to request that ASTERISK be added as one of your portable apps. It started as linux only, but since it is open-source, has been turned over to Windows, Mac OS, and BSD as well. For Windows version info go to:

FREE telephony on a portable device... Way cooler than vonage!
