Request Apps

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

portable 7zip

Submitted by unyokun on July 30, 2006 - 3:54am

One little thing about me is that I like to download all my portable apps as the zip files. I have some other portable apps as well, such as DeepBurner portable, that is already made (portable apps are the best thing to happen EVER). The thing is, I get stuck when I need to install an unzipper, and the only good unzippers I know of are winrar and 7zip, but both are installers. I think that a portable self-extracting 7zip program should be developed as well.

Some other open-source programs that don't have portable files being developed by the developer yet are:

Eraser
Azureus
StepMania

Reguested Application.

How about a portable slide show application similar to Slide Show Pilot.
(http://www.colorpilot.com/slideshow.html)

With similar features such as:
Most image file formats,
Create auto run CD/DVD album for PC and players (watch through TV).
Create .exe show
Create HTML Web galleries
Transitions
Add sound and music

And any other features that you wizards can think of.
And of course open source.
All on a USB stick.

Portable file/history shreader

Submitted by droolin on July 27, 2006 - 2:16pm

I've seen a couple out there, but I can't find them anymore.

Ie, an app that shreads files based on nsa settings(would be nice if it would wack folders too) and also, something to erase windows history tracks. Example, I checked my bank balance at work. I don't want my login information anyplace, anywhere, anyhow.

Thanks in advance.

Chandler (Open-Source Calendar)

"Chandler is an interpersonal information manager that adapts to your changing needs."

Considering the lack of "good" portable calendar applications out there that syncronize with external calendar solutions like Google or Outlook, I think the implmentation of a Portable Chandler would be a good way to go.

The calendar system situation right now is at an odd place because there are just so many different solutions you could use and they all don't really syncronize nicely between one another. Google and Apple have made huge progress with the iCal standard, but those are the only two that really come to mind. Since Chandler is an open-source, cross-platform, solution, it should, in time, harness all different solutions around (including syncronizing with different iCal accounts).
