I'm sorry if this seems a little redundant, but I have been using Kompozer for a while and it still has a few bugs that I can't get around. For example, it expects ALL pages to have a "title". CSS pages don't have titles. Also, the CSS tool is crap. I know that on Linux, I had a good time with Bluefish, but I can't run Linux at the library(not even a live distro) and my computer is down for the count with a fried power supply. Does anyone know how to compile Bluefish so that it will work on Windows and only write to it's own directory?

Program: UltraDefrag

License: Open Source/Freeware

Description: UltraDefrag is an Open Source disk defragmentation tool that offers fast defragmenting, using a kernel based driver. It offers a simple GUI with a cluster map display, as well as a command-line interface and scheduling option. The program supports full defragmentation and space defragmentation (compacting), and allows you to include/exclude files or folders based on their name or size. Other features include HTML reports and boot time defragmentation.

qGo setup tries to modify the registry but the changes it fails to make as an unprivileged user don't cause a problem, so drop them.

UniConvertor converts several different vector graphics formats into others. This premise is absolutely magic in the graphic design context.

I don't know if it's portable, it can't be installed in Windows.

License is LGPL, I don't know what that means.

I was wondering if there was a way to add a program to the Portable Apps menu that was not installed through portable apps, but is on my Jump Drive.

It would be very nice to have a portable version of the Java Development Kit or the Java Runtime Environment/Java Virtual Machine made. Then we would finally have a solution for all of these Java problems (it would also open new doors in app development, like some I am exploring).

The source code for the JDK/JRE/JVM (i think the JDK) has been released. To my knowledge it is called Open JDK and is a developer/open source project to improve Sun's Java binaries.

I think that this messenger should be portable

I found an application that checks and repairs MP3 files. It's actually a command line app with 2 different GUI's available for it, one written in python, and the other in what the website calls a "native windows application"

Discription from website:
MP3val is a small, high-speed, free software tool for checking MPEG audio files' integrity. It can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely downloaded, truncated, containing garbage). MP3val is also able to fix most of the problems.

How about making Digsby (fast becoming the favourite IM client everywhere!) a portable applikation?

The developers answer bug reports and requests by mail incredibly fast and often has a solution out within 24 hours.

What more do you need to make it happen?
