Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.
HWiNFO32 Portable Release
Professional Hardware Information and Diagnostic Tool
Homepage: www.hwinfo.com
License: Freeware, closed source
1. Make sure to download the Portable (ZIP) Release.
2. In order to prevent storing of registry settings (in HKCU) uncheck the "Remember Application Preferences on this machine" in the "Configure" window. All settings in this window are stored in the HWiNFO32.INI file.
Grindstone is a time-reporting application. It has a built in feature to make it work from a USB drive and would be a great PortableApp. See http://www.epiforge.com/.
This would be a great addition to those who use PortableApps on their iPods or other similar device and also use the RockBox firmware. It's a zipped download and runs on the system. It doesn't install anything, but does require admin access in order to modify the firmware of the music device (at least it does on my system). The installer is needed to install the initial firmware replacement as well as periodic upgrades to the RockBox software, so having it on the player in which it is used would be a good idea.
I'd like to suggest that Progress Quest be added to the game section of the site. There is absolutely no install at all. Download a zip file, extract the folder, run the program. The save file gets saved in the folder as well, so it can be taken anywhere and run anywhere with no admin rights necessary. When it's deleted, it's gone forever. The site is here: Progress Quest
Hello portable-apps community. I've searched these forums and found 1 request: that one didn't follow the 'un-official' request guideline. So I'll give it my own try and request it with the following info:

Program: TagScanner
License: Freeware
Website: http://www.xdlab.ru/en/index.htm
Description: So here is the program, Tag Scanner. I've seen that others have been here, but just a brief glance, it is still being worked on with little tweaks, so it seems to be in active maintanence.
It's listed itself as freeware. I don't know off-hand how easy it is to portablize it, though it lists one on their download page.
Of course, I do see how Songbird has a tagger add-ons, has anyone used it for that? Any good?
Not Freeware or Open Source ... technically. However, X-Setup is going defunct

I have not worked with this program, but it appears to be a midi sequencer which supports notation and audio. (Of course, if there are any other midi sequencers which support notation [priority 1] and audio [priority 2], I'd love to hear about them. Especially if they're here at PortableApps.)
