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

Direct Access to files within the USB

Submitted by javier10l on March 29, 2008 - 10:55am

More than a program is a suggestion (sorry if this is not where it should be), if one could take into account the functionality of the 'Remora USB Quick Launch' (http://www.richskills.com/products/5/freeversion. asp), with which we can show as configuring direct access Word files (.doc), Excel (.xls). Only by putting the vast extension (*.pdf, *.doc, *.exe, *.ppt) and automatically looking inside your USB and our direct access within a folder whose name is the original folder that contains this file.

SubCommander

Well, I have been looking for a portable SVN client for a while. I know about RapidSVN portable, but that seems to have died. I really only needed it for this laptop (which I don't have admin on), and I found SubCommander. After looking at it, it seems to only save settings in my documents, and none in registry (that I could find). I figure it wouldn't be that hard to get this as a true portable app. It's open source as well (Under the GNU), so there should be no legal issues.

Google Pinyin for Chinese Input

Submitted by lele on March 28, 2008 - 4:09am

Google Pinyin Chinese Input proves to be very handful and small to handle, not taking up a lot of resources, rams, memories. Unfortunately, not all computers have that installed. Therefore, if it can be converted or developed for portable devices, it would be great. I know it takes a lot of time and energy to do this kind of work, but thanks and thanks very much.

Appreciate your open source/freeware contribution.

Keep it up, guys.

The world without you is worse.

Twitter?

I can't believe this hasn't already been requested or talked about but I can't find anything in the search.

What I would like to see is a proper portable Twitter app.

I know you can use a add-on for portable Firefox or the IM bot for use with Portable Pidgin, but nether of these offer the features of a dedicated twitter client (such as Twitteroo for example).

I have also searched the web ("Googled") for a 'portable' twitter but haven't been able to find anything which would fit the bill.

If anyone has I am happy to be corrected!

Thanks
