I'd like PortableApps to bring the following to the PortableApps Platform, with the ones I most want with a star in front
Of course, all apps suggested are open source (though some are "kind of app" not "said app")
[Found/Made apps removed]

- Some sort of software to syncronise with the iPod that WORKS with iPod touch and iPhone

- * MIT's Scratch (yes, it's open source) this fun Kid's education game and animation maker would be BRILLIANT for portableapps

EXE or Command Launcher Plugin for Platform

Submitted by portableNic on May 5, 2009 - 2:29pm

There should be support for launching apps that are not made be PortableApps.com. I have altered programs that I would like to be able to launch from the Platform. Also I have made some programs that I would like to launch from the platform. An easy option menu item could take care of adding the path to any executable or run any command.

Qtpfsgui

Did a search for this, but didn't come up with any results on here.

Qtpfsgui is a photo processing software for creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. Like GIMP, it does some amazing things that are comparable to commercial software costing hundreds of dollars. It's open source, so I'm assuming it would be eligible to be created as a PortableApp. I've been using it on ubuntu for the past few weeks, and it's quite stable.

Here's the url: http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/about.php

Autoupdater App

Submitted by Finklebender on May 4, 2009 - 2:01pm

How about an app that checks the version you have installed on your USB device and auto downloads and updates them , kinda like sumo or update checker utilities but auto installs as well ? I know some apps have the update ability in them, but it would be much easier if you have the entire suite installed to just run a version checker from time to time and it auto update only the apps that needed it

Thanks

Some Requests

Some requests I would like to make that seems interesting for work and development. Note that I can't find some of them portable or opensource or either free, If you know any that are open source maybe we can make them portable =D.
