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

Possible Open source Ceedo or U3 (ish) software??

Submitted by trex on April 23, 2006 - 11:18pm

I know PStart available here provide links and stuff, but for one, the links added on one computer will not work on another.... two PStart does not start when the flash drive is pluged in.

So it is really difficult to implement something like Ceedo or U3 interface?? I am not saying we need the programs installed via that program as we all get it from here... but a Ceedo or U3 interface launcher would really be nice???

Portable QEMU

I would prefere having a portable QEMU made that would allow anyone to install the OS of their choosing rather than having a portable OS premade for them. It would be absolutly great if this QEMU used the QVM86 virtualization software (KQEMU is closed source, but QVM86 is GPL) as virtualization seriously helps QEMU. Also, if a GUI for QEMU (I reccomend QEMU manager) were to be made portable along with it that would be even better. You could preload a few QEMU portable OS's as premade, but I think that making a portable QEMU would be best of all. I use QEMU a lot, and would love to be able to take it with me.

Portable R

Would really love to see if someone could come out with a portable version of R (see http://www.r-project.org). R is one of the nicer free scientific computing environments out there. Its fast enough and has sufficiently simple syntax to be used as a calculator as well.

BTW, love Portable Firefox.

requesting a Portable CD DVD Burner/ cloner / Backup / tool

Submitted by citybilly on April 21, 2006 - 12:33pm

hello portable app's guru's!
i have no idea if there is a tool out there that can do this but
How about CD/dvd burner/ cloner/ back up utility portable app ?
i have modified some older windows apps that use .ini files to run from a USB drive and they work ok - but some thing more modern and robust would be nice

All the obvious tasks would make a portable app very attractive like:
* Data CD/DVD – bootable disks Support for .bin .cue , .ISO ect ..
* Music CD - Burn from mp3 Play Lists ect..
* ISO CD/DVD
* Cd/DVD Cloner
* Backup. back up that USB drive! Smile
* Video Converters.

i have found this app really useful for downloading certain file types from websites as it doesnt take a load of right clicking to use it which is normally a slow process. it gives you a thumbnail view of images and view of the files then you just select the ones you want to download and it does the rest. it queues them up to be downloaded to a selected directory and you can limit the number of downloads allowed at one time as well as the searches and such. any possible way of making it portable.

Portable anti-spyware application?

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on April 20, 2006 - 11:24pm

I did a search of the forums and didn't find anything directly pertaining to this, so I'm creating a new thread. Now that we have Portable ClamWin for anti-virus, what about an anti-spyware program? That would make my portable maintenance suite complete. I often have to scan my cousin's computer for viruses and spyware, and a portable anti-spyware program would make things so much easier.
