Why Foxit and Sumatra for PDFs

Submitted by Alcasar on November 19, 2012 - 12:25am

I have just started having problems with Foxit when i tried to print.

I found PDF-XChange Viewer that seems to be working and seems to be portable, at least i didn't have to install it.

I'm wondering why you chose to offer Foxit Reader and Sumatra PDF Viewer.
Especialy with the comments on this page.

Google SketchUp

Submitted by dlwatib on November 18, 2012 - 11:45am

What is the status of SketchUp? Why isn't the free version available as a portable app? The last discussion was a couple of years old and didn't really answer the question of if it could possibly become available, or if a user could make it portable for his own personal use.

Personal Ancestral File (PAF)

Submitted by dlwatib on November 18, 2012 - 11:12am

Personal Ancestral File (PAF)is by far the most popular genealogy and ancestry charting software, far more popular than gramps. When researching your genealogy at public libraries it would be especially nice to have your work on a thumb drive and be able to directly edit your PAF file while on the library's computer. I know it's not open source, but the LDS church (which owns it) might be interested in making a portable version for the reason I stated above.

Portable Postal Tracking Package software.

Portable Postal Tracking Package software.

In example if i have a tracking nbr for Postal Package, then manage where is the package are "in realtime".

Did someone have that and/or can made that for PC PortableApps.

I have one on Android, but not for PC and better if the PC version can be 100% Freeware and PortableApps compatible.

I Need A Video Converter That Keeps The FPS At 60.

Submitted by iTzPepsii on November 12, 2012 - 9:04pm

I need a video converter, that converts my videos recorded with my AVerMedia C281 Game Capture HD, which records in .avi but I need to open it with Sony Vegas 11 Pro, so basically I need a Portable Video Converter to put on my external hard drive, to convert .avi to .mp4 or .wmv but keep it at 60FPS.
When I used Ultimate Video Converter Portable and WonTube, but neither of them go above 30FPS.

Spotify

Submitted by XAOS-Eric on November 12, 2012 - 10:01am

Hello,
Would anyone want Spotify as a portable app? I'll contact them, and request permission to make it portable. Will update if I hear back.

Update: I have contacted them, waiting to hear back.

Xidel 0.6 released (cli "webscraper" and XQuery engine)

Submitted by BeniBela on November 9, 2012 - 9:00am

I just made a new release of my Xidel, a command line tool for extracting data from web/html sites, supporting XQuery 1, XPath 2, CSS 3 selectors and pattern-matching.

E.g. you can get a list of all portable apps here with css selectors and xpath:

   xidel https://portableapps.com/apps -e 'css(".content")/h2/following-sibling::ul/li/a'

Or only css: (but Xidel is mainly a XPath/XQuery processor, the css part is not really tested => I bet you can find some bugs there):
