Cornice Portable [Image Viewer]

Submitted by Patrick Patience on May 27, 2007 - 11:06am

Sorry, I know this has been requested, and the reason I am requesting again is because in this thread, John says he has a portable version ready to go. I was going to make a portable version myself, or at least give it a shot, until I read John had a beta ready to go. I would like to say I am also interested in your test release John, if you can still find it, the post seems to be only from a few months ago. Sorry, I would have posted in that thread, but it's locked (Probally from the auto-locker).

Pidgin Portable

Submitted by Lioncourt on May 25, 2007 - 11:51am

Only recently noticed that Gaim had been replaced by Pidgin. I have been having some issues with Gaim Portable crashing in response to some people's use of word replacing icons on MSN and YIM, so I wanted to upgrade to the latest version. I am hopeful that Pidgin is going to be included in the portable apps suite, but have not seen any evidence of this. If it is already planned to be included, will there be a way to import our Gaim Portable settings and Buddy Lists?

Does anyone have a copy of Rob's WackGet Portable? The download on his site doesn't seem to be there anymore, nor anywhere else on his site, and I didn't see it in Ryan's downloads.

Could someone please send me a copy at mono(_)purpura(@)hotmail(.)com.

Remove all brackets in e-mail, thanks. I searched the forums to, and I couldn't find anyone with this problem. Thanks in advance.

I would like to make a request for PowerJournal to be portable.

Program: PowerJournal

License: GNU General Public License

Description: PowerJournal is a java-based journaling software that is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can also upload to an online database using hSQL and MySQL.

Website: http://powerjournal.sourceforge.net

Other: Only entries on the computer I see is in C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENTUSER]\.PowerJournal. And the reason this needs a launcher is that the journal and settings are stored there.

Suite USB Thumb/Flash Drive Detection

Submitted by NefariousPrior on May 23, 2007 - 4:31pm

I have replaced my U3 partition with my own using PortableApps.exe
This works great unless I go to another computer which loads my thumb drive as a different drive letter.

Would be great if the PortableApps Suite had the ability to search for the drive which contained it's other files.

Didn't know where else to post this. Feel free to forward to appropriate forum.

HijackThis Portable

Submitted by kars85 on May 23, 2007 - 1:10pm

First off, this is an awesome site. I had no idea this existed, but will sure spread the word throughout my fellow IT buddies here at work.

Has HijackThis ever been made portable? It's a single exe, and know that it's been acquired by Trend Micro, but was wondering if it was still able to be ported to a portable form.

Thanks!

P.S. Is there a tutorial someone could link on creating portable programs?
