Portable Apps as U3 backup Launcer app
U3 drives are disabled in many computers now
a launcher like portable apps configured to launch
the programs already present in u3 as a backup would ...
save space using the programs present and the ability to
launch non u3 as well would be very welcome even with Xtraveller
please consider a mod to make Portable Apps the U3 backup launcher
for those U3 programs that can be launched without U3

Request List

KeePass 1.10
Miranda 0.7.3 (Ok, Pidgin does all what Miranda but I know some who prefer it over Pidgin due to the wider range of plugins available).
XChat 2.8.5e
GPG for Thunderbird Portable (Updated to use GnuPG 1.4.8 )
Pidgin 2.31 ?? (There are supposedly still a few bugs in this release, and so it may be better to wait for the next release)!!

The above are all OPEN SOURCE.

Universal Application Launcher

Submitted by binion66 on January 14, 2008 - 12:02pm

Portable Apps use of a launcher for Xamp made me think of this one. where the use of a launcher is used because it's better for xamp to be in the / directory. My thought however is for a Universal Launcher for applications that can just be placed in the PortableApps/ folder in there own folder such as /PortableApps/Blender3D/ but once you do you find two or more iconts to the application, and when you have several applications you don't want multiple icons for each one.
