Request Apps

Hi.

I'm a software developer that uses an Oracle database (10gXE) and have a set of tools that i run to convert data from on ver. of our software to the next. I often have to do the conversion at places with very restricted network access and very limited computer access and rights. Often I'm not permitted to use my own pc at these places but can run programs as notepad++, sqldeveloper from an USB-stick. They work fine.

PortableApps offers a nice way to add new software, by simply adding the software folder. However, it happens for a few software packages I added the software contains some utilities executables which I believe the main module will call to. However, either I will never run them directly or they must be launched from the main module, it makes no sense to have them appear on launch pad. It only confuses visually.

I'd like to see PortableApps LaunchPad offer a way to selectively remove some icons from the menu (not removing the application folder completely).

I have got Cube 2 Sauerbraten working off my 4gb Kingston data traveler with only one problem it doesn't show up in the menu (not even the uninstall).

Other than that not problem, a launcher for this game would be great.

Cheers

Chris

I don`t mean windows pe or bart pe, I mean a hole windows installed on a usb harddrive.

Many people found on google reported that it`s possible to get windows running on a usb harddrive. It`s just a bit complicated to setup.

It`s also possible not to run into legal problems. Some examples therefore:

Gnumeric is a Microsoft Office Excel alternative, it's a part of GNOME.
I think it is also for Windows, and I would like to carry it on my USB Stick.

First off, I had searched, here, Googol (whoops, I spelled it the right way),and SF.net. I found something, and I do have a U3 drive, but it looks unstable. I know John's working on an auto-eject launcher, but unfortunately, my dad is yelling at me for taking to long to unplug my flash drive now, not in the future. So I would like to request an auto-ejection script and a system tray alternative.

Great work John,

In the last year this is probably the most useful software I have found.
I have almost completely got rid of the need to install ANYTHING apart from windows on my PC... Hurrah!

The remaining Piece of software I have on my PC are:

Coreldraw graphics suite X3. Inkscape & The Gimp are a good replacement but I still like this software - but at more than 500€ I should do. (OK Corel gave me my copy free of charge, but normally it's quite expensive)

Xara X1 - Inkscape again is a good replacement but this has some nice features,i.e. a very easy bevel tool.

Hi there,

I did do a search on the forum and found some discussion there. Most discussions are suggesting using Firefox extensions but I do have some special situation which I think that may apply to many ppl as well. Actually I'd like to add comment to an existing post https://portableapps.com/node/1332 but I cannot find the link to add.

I am using FF at home but my company's standard is IE

And I do not have admin right to add my appl. Even worse, I do not have the right to check the proxy setting so portable FF does not work either.

It'd be nice if there were portable apps that could open these programs

i think there should be an application that adds portable applications, that are not compatible with the apps menu... say you want to add like portable Photoshop or portable adobe illustrator well its not really compatible. well what about an application that adds a shortcut to that certain programs .exe and starts it for you and adds the shortcut the program makes to the menu...
