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

A bit far-fetched, but can SharpEnviro go portable?

It's just a thought. It's open source, but it requires a restart (I only log out and log back in). My idea is that instead of restarting it could simply shut down explorer.exe and start SharpEnviro. I'm not sure if it is that simple though... Either way, it's just an idea. Oh, and http://www.sharpenviro.com/wp/

Image database

Submitted by Satrek on April 5, 2011 - 4:27am

Hi, I'm looking for a software to manage image files by keywords (with filter options etc). Portable would be great, but I'm open to suggestions that would allow me to use the image database on multiple devices (by syncing it).

Thanks!

I think it would be nice to have a download all link under each category.
Or maybe a check box next to each app and a button the says 'Download Selected'.

This way if I would like to try re-downloading all the games, for example, to make sure I've got all the new ones and updates for older ones, I can simply check the box for all of them and click 'Download Selected'.

Quantum GIS

A quick search shows that this has been requested before, but not for a while. Please consider adding Quantum GIS to the stable - QGIS is open source (GNU Public License) and runs great off a thumbdrive. Well it used to at any rate. Recent versions are not so happy (and probably older versions were never properly portable).

Release notes for the current version (1.6) explain how it can be made portable (see http://www.qgis.org/en/about-qgis/qgis-releases.html):
