Request Apps

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

Announce vs. Request Apps

Submitted by subsembly on July 14, 2008 - 11:44am

I invested a lot of time to make my own applications portable and fully support the PortableApps structure. To my surprise I found no forum here where I could announce my PortableApps supporting applications. Are third-party-developers not expected to develop their own PortableApps compliant applications?

May I use this forum for announcing my applications, even if they are commercial applications?

Image Viewer

The only image viewer/manipulator in the suite is Gimp. There is no doubt GIMP is a good piece of software but for general use it is a bit clunky. I find Fastone Viewer Portable is a really user friendly and versatile general image viewer and it contains most of the simple image manipulation tools plus a few that are really inovative. Why, oh, why, does Portable Apps not recommend it?

PosteRazor

I found this application one day and it looked interesting. It takes a raster image and breaks it down into a multiple page pdf file. I think an app like this would be great for converting an image that wouldn't fit on one page into something that could be printed with standard paper.

It's written in c/c++

Functionnalities :
- possibility to create your own templates
- alarm
- colors and size changeable for each note
- text changeable for all the note or parts of the note

MediaMonkey Like

MediaMonkey is an all in one music ripper converter and organizer. Visit mediamonkey.com for more detail.

I know this is not open source but haven't been able to find a similar open source version. If someone could find an open source that would work I would gladly work with someone to do this.

I have been lurking here for a while and understand the basics of converting to portable and would really like to learn more thanks.

Art Weaver ?

I just discovered the ArtWeaver application (thanks to solanus), and I was wondering if somebody would be willing to create a PortableApps version of it. I guess this is the closest a freeware graphical design software can be of Adobe Photoshop.

I looked at the license, and it unfortunately doesn't seem to be GPLv2/3 licensed, only freeware :(.

Any hope in getting this software up in the PortableApps library oneday ?
