Portable Scilab

Submitted by oenayr on September 16, 2007 - 11:01am

Program: Scilab by INRIA

Liscence: Open source

Description: This is the freeware counterpart of Matlab by Mathworks. Most of the commands in Scilab are similar to those in Matlab, the only downside I've encountered so far is Scilab has lower stack memory. But what the heck, it's free! Its the thing we use in our Digital Signal Processing and Image Processing Courses, and it works fine. It would be great to have it in the portableapps.com format.

DVDShrink Launcher

Submitted by horrormaster34 on September 14, 2007 - 1:45pm

Would it be possible for somebody to create a DVDShrink portable launcher?

It writes a few files to the App Data folder and a bunch of registry entries for the settings to HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> DVD Shrink --> DVD Shrink 3.2 --> Preferences

Suggestion: Personal Video Database

I suggest to you add my video database application - Personal Video Database (current version 0.9.6) to your collection.

Some interesting features for portable apps users:
-Uses .ini file to save configuration
-Multi language (English, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish are currently available)
-Unicode support
-Uses relative paths

More information about the program can be found here: http://www.videodb.info

Mahjongg solitaire

Submitted by ripcrd on September 13, 2007 - 2:22am

I'm looking for a solitaire mahjongg that could be put in portable format. On linux I play KMahjongg, a one-player matching sort of game. You match tiles and they disappear, revealing the tiles underneath. http://home.halden.net/vkp/vkp/windows.html has a list of many mahjongg games, free, OSS, abandonware, shareware, etc. Shanghai-Fû 3D 1.22 looks to be a good candidate since it is small at 339kb, and looks good, but it is freeware, not necessarily open source.

efax as a portable app?

Submitted by crashsite68 on September 11, 2007 - 8:57am

Hi guys,

I'm not much of a code genius like many of you, but I have an app that would be useful and it may even be easy to make it work.

There is a U3 version of the efax program available. Can this be converted to a portable app? There are also standard install versions as well. The service is free and offers you a fax number to receive faxes via email. You can print and convert the faxes to pdf format. To fax out, you need a scanner and a paid account (thats how they make money). Personally, I think its just nice to be able to receive faxes through my email.
