Request Apps

Any chance of someone being able to make a portable version of SureThing Cd Labeler? I would like to be able to print labels when I am at work but we are not allowed to install software on work computers. There is a free version of SureThing 4-SE on www.lightscribe.com but I have not been able to get it to install and run as a portable application. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

I don't have a palm pilot, so my thumbdrive is my main source for keeping information on me.

Is there a small Personal Info manager to use for keeping an address book (phone numbers, email addresses, etc.

It would be awesome if it could sync (or at least import/export) with:

-Thunderbird
-Outlook
-Cell Phonebook
-etc.

If the database could export as a simple text, html, or XML file for online backup and web access, that would be great too.

Is there anything out there with most/all of these functions?

Thanks,
chris.

Hello

I'm new to the forums but have been using Portable Firefox for a few months and have recently become a fan of Portable VLC. They are fantastic pieces of software.

I don't believe this has been mentioned before but I have just become aware of a new program called Songbird (found here http://www.songbirdnest.com).

It's in its early stages, the developers are calling it a proof of concept right now, but I think it has potential. I, at least, would be interested in a portable version.

For the anonymous surfing by using portable apps, torpark can be used. But to me, it seems that
independent portable firefox + independent portable vidalia is better for convenient updating of each
apps.

Hope have a portable version of vidalia. Thanx!

Hey Gang I teach kids that are visually impaired, a big issue with them and many people with visual impairments, is that they are roped down to one machine since that is what has their software on it so they are able access the computer. Most my students are still print readers they just need the screen enlarged, I've looked into open source alternatives to the screen enlarger they use and honestly none of them that I have found come close to comparing to zoomtext or magic which are the applications of choice for many people with visual impairments. I have this software and licenses to it, but I would love a way to make it to where it could run from a USB drive so the kids could use, say any computer in the library or at the school if they need to. I understand there are likely restrictions to modifying the software in the EULA which is the hang up to it all, but man this would really make a great change in the world of people with visual impairments if they had an app that could travel with them. If I knew anything about coding I'd try to do this myself but I haven't a clue where to start in making an application portable. Is there anyone that would be willing to assist me in this? Thanks a ton! visionteacher at gmail dot com, if you don't want to post here. Forgive me please if I’m disregarding any list etiquette, it’s not my intention.

There's this EXCELLENT tool(s), SamSpade [http://www.samspade.org/ssw/]. If only there was a portableSpade... :sigh:

Yeah, I know there is already a PortableGIMP, but sometimes people are more familiarized with Photoshop. There is a portable photoshop, but obviously is an unauthorized hack, therefore illegal. Maybe you've heard of this GIMPShop, which is a mod from the original GIMP, and resembles Photoshop in names, menus [structure], and instead of multiple windows, there's a Deweirdifier, which makes it a Single Window environment, and well... IT'S AWESOM!!! The bad thing is that there's still no portable GIMPShop, so pleeeeeease, someone do the world a favor. [I would, if I knew how]

Anyone knows where to get it?

As a member of newzbin.com i make great use of the .nzb filetype that they utilise.

I know there are many "newsgroup readers" out there but not many make use of nzb's

I personally use "grabit" but this might not be portable. Here's a list of nzb compatible appz. Any thoughts?
