Request Apps

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

First off, I had searched, here, Googol (whoops, I spelled it the right way),and SF.net. I found something, and I do have a U3 drive, but it looks unstable. I know John's working on an auto-eject launcher, but unfortunately, my dad is yelling at me for taking to long to unplug my flash drive now, not in the future. So I would like to request an auto-ejection script and a system tray alternative.

Portable SEO SEM software please

Great work John,

In the last year this is probably the most useful software I have found.
I have almost completely got rid of the need to install ANYTHING apart from windows on my PC... Hurrah!

The remaining Piece of software I have on my PC are:

Coreldraw graphics suite X3. Inkscape & The Gimp are a good replacement but I still like this software - but at more than 500€ I should do. (OK Corel gave me my copy free of charge, but normally it's quite expensive)

Xara X1 - Inkscape again is a good replacement but this has some nice features,i.e. a very easy bevel tool.

Hi there,

I did do a search on the forum and found some discussion there. Most discussions are suggesting using Firefox extensions but I do have some special situation which I think that may apply to many ppl as well. Actually I'd like to add comment to an existing post https://portableapps.com/node/1332 but I cannot find the link to add.

I am using FF at home but my company's standard is IE Sad

And I do not have admin right to add my appl. Even worse, I do not have the right to check the proxy setting so portable FF does not work either.

i think there should be an application that adds portable applications, that are not compatible with the apps menu... say you want to add like portable Photoshop or portable adobe illustrator well its not really compatible. well what about an application that adds a shortcut to that certain programs .exe and starts it for you and adds the shortcut the program makes to the menu...

Hi guys

XNView has been previously suggested. Last time is already some time ago, so I'd like to wake the old discussion again.

It is portable, yes. However, I haven't found a way of putting it into my PortableApps systray launcher.

Is this (or some other viever like Irfan) in the to-do list?
