An App To Close All Open Apps

Submitted by crazypigeon on November 17, 2006 - 6:14pm

Well, I've been spoiled by the U3 drives, but the bloated autoplay was driving me nuts. Now I'm using pstart, on a generic flash drive - much happier, and on the drive it is way easier to install your own progs on. One of the features that I miss the most though, is that in the U3 menu, it had an option to eject the disk, what it would do, is close all apps that you had opened from U3 and then eject the disk, I've yet to find that, and I think that it would be a welcome addition by a lot of people. Also, the feature to eject the disk isn't nessicary, but its annoying to, when you want to eject

People

I would like to suggest the packaging of Scilab. It´s a high quality open source project meant to produce a software like Matlab and Simulink.

Project : http://www.scilab.org

I would appreciate to see it portable.

Tanks a lot.

Portable Notepad++

Submitted by Troll86 on November 16, 2006 - 5:43am

Notepad++ is an excellent text editor, with source highlighting for a lot of languages. Important for me is C++, PHP and Html. So everybody can try it:
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
There are also the source code.
I'm not a good programmer, cause I'm a student. So I cant do it by myself.
If somebody make it a Portable App, plz insert copilers for the different languages,
so that App becomes a perfect programming tool for me, my classmades and others.

PSI Portable

Submitted by Johny_R on November 16, 2006 - 4:05am

Hi, I think, it would be a good idea to create PSI Portable. PSI is a great, user friendly Jabber client, the application itself is quite small (about 10MB) and I suppose many people would find it useful. PSI is already possible to be used on a thumbdrive but it is quite difficult to install (you have to copy the app, than copy the profile folder, create a .bat file to set up the profile folder and run the app and sometimes it is also necessary to edit the registry to be able to run psi from a USB drive). This is why I would find it extremely convenient to have it as a real "PortableApp".

Since the original author of LauncFromPort is not going to be releasing any newer versions, and since this app is open source, can anybody out there make a new app but configure it to where it does not need PStart? I personally use ASuite, and I'm sure others use different launchers. Thanks.
[EDIT] On version 1.0, I was able to move LaunchFromPort.exe to a different folder and automatically start it with ASuite. Once I exit ASuite, it would also restore to the previous wallpaper.
