Request Apps

I dunno if you've heard but there is a distro of linux which is really small (called Damn Small Linux), and that distro can run from a USB device into windows, pretty much the same concept as PortableApps.. well, here's my question, Can you integrate it into the Portable Apps menu? Like, have linux as another protableapp?

Is it possible to get a portable version of Worms Armageddon if so please tell me how! Thanks.

You get a story with this request:

I'm in high school and I had to take a practice interview. I made the resume on word 2007.
Before you start flaming me about using M$ or software that cost money, please understand that I need office, because I need it for my business class, and Open Office 2 sucks. :shrug:

I am summoning this topic from the dead. It was discussed once already, but nothing has come of that discussion.

To summarize:
- .lit files are "Microsoft Reader" ebooks.
- There are those among us that would like to read .lit files portably
- The only solution is to either convert the books (which breaks many of them) to another format or install MS reader on every machine.

So how about it, Portable Apps people? Can you find a way to make .lit files readable by any windows machine I plug my drive into?

Love and kisses!

I just found Griffith. It is a DVD/Movie collection manager. I'd like to have it portable and might try it myself. Does anyone know of any other similar Collection manager because I am used to Tellico (Linux/KDE only) and Griffith isn't as good as tellico.

Cygwin would be an excellent candidate for inclusion as a true "Portable App".
It's well suited because of the plethora of utilities that are available with a Cygwin install.
Just the 'rsync' utility alone is enough to make it worthwhile.
A portable rsync would make it extremely easy to create backups of data without going through the pain of doing a full cygwin install on the local machine.
(ailing Windoze machine... I'm sure we've all had to deal w/ one of those)

Essentially Portable Cygwin =
Portable Subversion
Portable SSH
Portable perl
Portable python
Portable ruby

ive used the program Spacemonger for quite awhile, its great for knowing what large garbage is on your PC.

even if its not officially integrated, its still a handy tool for anyone using their Portable apps flash drive as a diagnostic tool (thank god for ClamAV portable, thats was a huge help!)

another good one to integrate would be CCleaner
ive done it already, by creating a .bat file that has the lines:
regsvr32 /s ccleaner.dll
regsvr32 /s CCSubTimer.dll
regsvr32 /s CCSystem.dll
regsvr32 /s lang-1033.dll
start /wait ccleaner.exe

Hi, I'm new to the portableapps.com community. I have been using portable applications for a few years but only recently learned there was a community. I found this site because I was looking for updates for my portable apps. Which leads me to my question -

Just thought everyone would LOVE to know! GVim is already available as a portable app! I thought it would be listed here but I don't see it. It installed fine and works great! Although I don't use the menu that you have - I don't remember where I got the one I use (it's called Pstart.) I read about it (and portable apps) in Windows IT Pro magazine.

Here is the link

The newest version of Snes9x saves the settings on a .cfg file on the same folder with the .exe... so, now it's can be made portable.
