Request Apps

For me portable applications has everything i need. The only thing that gives me a hard time is the updates. Lets say ClamWin gets updates once a week. That makes me to download the new and change it with he old one. My suggestion is to integrate into portable applications a way of auto update the programs a user might have and comes from here. Maybe an individual update of only the programs someone might want and not all of them would be a nice idea.

Thanks for everything

I realize this was mentioned earlier this year in the development form, but I wanted to put in a request here because it looks like a useful app for somebody who wants to keep tabs on email without needing to open Thunderbird (especially on an older system where resources are limited and launches would be slower).

Program: FreeMind

License: Open Source/GPL

Description: A mind mapping program.

Hi everybody! I feel as if I'm posting a lot of weird portable apps request but is there a portable application that could generate and read 2D barcodes such as QR Codes (used in Japan, scanned with mobile phones). I found a good program. Unfortunately it's in Japanese but it's free but I'm not sure if it's portable.

Even if you can't read Japanese there are some English text that you can read oh and the Windows 2000 and XP Versions work for 98,ME and vise versa.

I'm not sure how much demand there would be for a tool like this, but I found an open source driver backup utility called DriverBackup!

here's the discription from SourceForge:

Simple tool for backup hardware drivers' files. DriverBackup! preserves drivers of your hardware peripherals from injury of time,saving important files into a specified directory. So you can use these files to reinstall your perip. without CDs or Floppys.

The website is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/

I saw this app and thought it might be useful for somebody who needs a basic spreadsheet app, but is limited on room.

It's an open source spreadsheet editor. According to the web site, it allows for creation and manipulation of spreadsheets, and can handle some basic formulas.

Does anybody know a portable (freeware) application that would rip/extract audio from video files (and also DVD)? Oh and I need it to work on all Windows operating systems... Thanks!

Is it possible to make a portable version of Filetilla Server and of a DynDNS Program to syncronize the IP??

It would be very helpful. Thanks a lot,

Jonathan

cant u make Opera run on my poertable apps?

I was wandering through portablefreeware.com, and I stumbled accross a couple of open source file recovery tools that look interesting.

One of them is the discription from the FileExtractor home page:

FileExtractor is a free (open source) tool for recovering files from a binary data source. Sources such as digital cameras, partitions, harddrives, memory sticks or floppy disks may be corrupted, deleted or formatted by mistake. Once the file system is destroyed you need a tool such as FileExtractor to recover your files.
