Submitted by Ronil on March 14, 2008 - 3:48pm

How many people here have spent hours if not days setting up their portable application usb key to just be perfect? I have been following this site for years and I have my Flash Drive loaded will all of my software, much of it from this site. I have taken a lot of the things here to the next level, for example I am using XYplorer as my Explorer tool through Geek Menu. This is great as now I can set associations so when I open a ".doc" file open office on the key opens etc..

Windows Explorer Replacement

Submitted by myaccount on March 14, 2008 - 5:54am

Hey guys, I saw a windows explorer replacement one time when i was looking for either an SVG editing program, or an encryption program. I remember that it had (can have) two sets of windows.

It had one folder veiw (folder tree) - but you could select two different folders (at one time)to copy files straight over. For those of you who know this - it looks like FireFTP (or FTP clients in general). I know my description may be a bit retarded or confusing, but please help because I'm actually interested in getting it again.

Request for Arduino

Submitted by CasNet on March 13, 2008 - 5:08pm

Greetings everybody,

It seems to me the Arduino open-source electronics prototyping platform is a perfect match for PortableApps, but I was surprised that it has not been ported. I have downloaded the stuff to start working on it, but I don't have as much free time as I used to, and I hoped someone else could do this faster than me.

With the latest version 1.1.0.0 just released on 5 March 2008, Media Player Classic Home Cinema now has Xvid/DivX codecs built in. Now you do not need to install ffdshow or any other codecs. Just one simple executable application.

emacs (again)

this is a follow up to https://portableapps.com/node/1494

I've just started playing with emacs 22.1 on my usb flash drive after stumbling on this in the README.W32 file:

    To install Emacs, simply unpack all the files into a directory of your
    choice, but note that you might encounter minor problems if there is a
    space anywhere in the directory name.  To complete the installation
    process, you can optionally run the program addpm.exe in the bin
    subdirectory.  This will add some entries to the registry that tell

Please help make CODE::BLOCKS become a portable reality

Submitted by braveerudite on March 11, 2008 - 11:56am

My friends in school would love to see Code::Blocks become portable. The problem is that we are noob computer science students that don't know yet how to make this wonderful application portable. The university we go to won't install this on their computers. We are aware of Dev-C++ portable but we notice that is outdated and has many bugs reported on sourceforge. We have try Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks in our home and we prefer Code::Blocks much more. We would greatly appreciate you gurus to help us out make Code::Blocks a portable reality.

Thank you all for your time.

WinTin++ Mud Client

Submitted by wanderinweezard on March 11, 2008 - 9:44am

I really like PortableApps and use a lot of the tools. One program (that I believe fits the required criteria?) that I thought would be nice (but I lack the expertise) is the WinTin++ Mud Client. I can't seem to find a license agreement on their webpage, but the source is available for download.

I believe this is an original request because I have searched the forums for wintin.

fwbuilder for Windows portable?

Submitted by jglessner on March 11, 2008 - 12:30am

Here is the site: http://www.fwbuilder.org/

I would LOVE to see someone make a Windows port as a portable app. The Linux version is Open Source, but not their Windows version. I use this so I've purchased a license for the windows version, I just wish it was portable (this is the last program I need to truly say that every piece of software that I use on a daily basis is run from my thumbdrive!).

I'll lavish you with praise?

How about a case of free beer*?
