Request Apps

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

XCA requested

This is a handy Certification Authority application. Ilike keeping the CA database on removable storage for security reasons, and would love for the managing application for that database to be on that storage as well.

As best as I can tell from looking at the source, there is one registry key used read-only, that is set in the installer (the location of where the app is installed). Since, in the absence of this key, the value defaults to the executable's path at runtime, this seems like it may magically work as-is without modifying the app at all.

Other: Made by me-smaller installed size than currently included OpenOfice.org.Needs VB6 runtimes-but all recent versions of Windows already have that installed.

Portable Komodo Edit.

Okay, I found a bit of info on make Komodo Edit run off a flash drive, but it's way way to big, so I'm curious whether someone could make a compressed version + remove the need for opening command prompt to execute it.

Program: Komodo Edit

License: Free, based on Mozilla lib's so should be under same licensing.

Description: Advanced text edit with syntax highlighting, autocompletion of language specific keywords, ability to have addons ect. (not sure if it's exactly the same as Nvu.)

GNU Backgammon

Submitted by Klan on July 2, 2007 - 12:51am

Hi there

I am travelling a lot, and at the same time plays backgammon in some high stakes matches. I use this program to analyze my play, or just for practice.
Its free, and its very very strong, its analyzing parts is just as good as the programs that costs 500$

So may I suggest this added to the portable apps?

What's about TrueCrypt and TOR?

Submitted by J0K3R2005 on June 30, 2007 - 10:01pm

Hello at all

My english isnt very good - soory xD

I want to ask: Is it possible that TreuCrypt can be a Part of the portableapps Aplications? That would very nice..

For information, Truecrypt is a opensource disk encryption software for Windows and Linux.

At truecrypt.org you can get all information about it. It already has a "portable Mod", but the problem, that required Admin privilegs...

The other Question is: Is it possible for you to ad the anonym surfing utility named TOR to portableapp?
