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

Make qemu portable (to have little portable penguins running around)

Submitted by towsonu2003 on May 29, 2007 - 8:22pm

It would be great to have qemu as a portable ap. In fact, I think someone already did it, maybe you could request him/her to list it here: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html#3.0.0 (see table for the file "allinoneqemu.exe").r

If qemu becomes portable, making portable linux distros would be easier than anything.

Thanks.

WinDjView request

http://windjview.sourceforge.net/

A viewer for .djvu eBooks.

GPL license.

Small app (~500KB download for .exe installer) Smile

Would be useful in a similar way to SumatraPDF - obviously .djvu is less common than .pdf but anyone with a djvu file would suddenly find this *very* useful!

Not yet tested (just downloaded, currently running Linux) but the installed folder might be near-portable as it is.

Any questions/feedback welcome, all programmers worshipped...

Hello i have a ipod. And at home i have itunes installed on my computer. But on school and by friends i have no itunes. It would be great if someone make a portable itunes of something like that. Because i want to read my music out that folder that itunes have created.

So if someone can make this it would be great!

GCALDaemon for syncing Google Calendar & more

Submitted by twnty3svn on May 29, 2007 - 8:12am

Hi everyone,

Found a very useful app under GPL licence called GCALDaemon. This is a Gmail service for syncing Google Calendar and many other Google services. I've installed it locally on PC and Mac and it works a treat. Its currently synced to my portable Rainlendar and Sunbird on my PC and iCal on my Mac.

Anyone know or want to attempt to make it work portably?

This suite needs a podcast grabber

Submitted by pagesix1536 on May 27, 2007 - 9:51pm

I wrestled with trying to get MyPodder/Podcastready to work with this...but no go. Created a folder as instructed from the help on this site, and yeah I get an icon in the launcher list for podcastready.exe, but when you click it....nothing. Nothing at all happens. Check the task list, and nothing is actually run. Not sure why it won't launch the podcastready.exe app from the PortableApps launcher, so I gave up and put it in the root of my USB thumb drive. Launches fine if I double click the exe.
