Shrink Pic

this is an app that transparently shrinks photos for emailing. When you use a browser or email program to send a photo Shrink Pic automatically esizes it according your preset preferences. Very handy.
In its present form it can be used as a portable app, but it is not in paf format.

QCAD

Submitted by Bayel on October 28, 2009 - 4:47am

Hello everybody;

I have downloaded QCAD and I have seen that there's no installation needed if you download the one in a zip package.

So I have extractet it to my portable apps folder and I have created an App folder with an Appinfo folder with the icon of the QCAD and the App info modified for the QCAD.

Now I'have the QCAD into my pendrive.

Enjoy it.

Free Download Manager Portable

Submitted by coolone2 on October 27, 2009 - 6:20pm

Hello

i would really like this portable app (Free download manager). I think it is much better than winwget, because it gets less errors and has more features. I can also replace uTorrent, because it supports torrents. Though it can already be placed onto a usb drive through the actual program in a portable version, I think there should be a splash screen. Second, I can make it save default to drive G: but if i change computers sometimes, it does not work.

The application is about 17-19 mb, and can be downloaded here. Yes, it's open source.

Safari, maybe?

(Note to moderators: I've asked about Safari before, but was told it was illegal because it's closed-source. However, now that PortableApps.com supports Freeware, perhaps this would be OK. If not, please delete this topic... thanks!)

Program: Safari

License: Freeware

Inkscape and updates

Submitted by Joao_costa on October 27, 2009 - 6:54am

Hello. I would like to know why don't portable apps include inkscape, as long as some other free software that others apps suite include. I know theres license use involved, but it would be great if portable apps could have some more apps that i see in outher suites. Also, i would like to know when will portable apps have a feature to automatically update the apps and the suite itself, that would be awesome. I started using portable apps, but i found it a little limited, because i cannot had other portable apps that is not directly related with portable apps installation method.
