Wrapper for an already portable app?

Submitted by akb on April 11, 2007 - 7:15pm

Hi there,

I want to create a CD-ROM based on a portable web server and have a problem with Windows Vista. The portable web server (Server2go) crashes if it is not launched as an admin, so it's needed to force a UAC dialog for running it from autostart in Vista.

My idea now is to create an NSIS wrapper dialog, that forks the Server2go launcher, so if the wrapper dialog causes a UAC verification the server will start correctly.

iColor Folder as Portable App

Hi all!
If you have ever seen Macintosh you know its feature when folders are highlighted with different colors.
You can become the same feature on Windows systems, when you use iColor Folder (+ skin pack if you want). But you have to install this application! Pity!
I think many of us would like to use iColor Folder when it would became portable!
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Project management

Submitted by smhasert on April 10, 2007 - 3:35pm

Would it be possible to build something similar to dotProject (http://www.dotproject.net/) at least some of the features associated with it (Gantt/Pert/WBS/etc) Project management tools as Portable.

I realize this may not be a likely candidate as it is more of a project server type of applicatioin, but some of the features would sure be nice to have in a portable environment. Thanks

Skype, PLEASE I AM BEGGING FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted by KC2KLX on April 8, 2007 - 1:44pm

I think that Skype could be a good program to convert since it is a free download. This is very helpful for those who pay for their phone service. I would even pay to have a working version of this program as a portable application as I need it for business purposes. Please try it with this if you can I am not sure if it is an open source but go to www.skype.com and check it out. Thanks and good luck....

Portable Fonts?

Submitted by kingofpenguins on April 7, 2007 - 6:38pm

I'm not sure if this has been posted before (there really should be a search box), but I have a handful of fonts that I would like to be able to carry around with my portable apps (Hoefler Text and Gentium to name a couple). Is there anyway that this can be done so that fonts that I have on my flash drive can be used by portable apps in addition with the fonts installed on the computer?
