Request Apps

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

Webroot Spy Sweeper

Submitted by Eric Peterson on April 10, 2006 - 9:29am

I have been trying for some time to make Spy Sweeper portable. I use it daily, but keep having to install the app on computers to run it. I have found all the registry entries that it uses, and all the files that are installed. I am also able to create and start the 2 services that are installed, but I still can't get it to work correctly. I was hoping someone else was working on this idea also.

List of things that I'm requesting

Hey all!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who contributes to this 'project', including the original software developpers. I found out about portableapps.com yesterday and I'm already hooked! Biggrin

Well, I have a few suggestions, for apps that would be awesome if they were portable:

Multimedia:
-Media Player Classic ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ )
-VirtualDub ( http://www.virtualdub.org )
-µTorrent (not open source, but free, and damn it's light! http://www.utorrent.com )

Games:
-Zsnes ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/zsnes )
-Nestopia ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/nestopia )

Portable Eclipse

I keep hearing about Elicpse as a great editor but it seems such a pain to start using that a portable version with support for the .Net languages would make a good replacement to Visual Studio for the developer on the go. Easy support for adding languages would be good and would eliminated the need to include the languages so long as there was a repository of easy portable language plugins.

Security

Seems we're heading for a full-fledged OS like DamnSmallLinux! Has any thought been given to creating a fully password-protected, encrypted portable unit - a FOSS version of StealthSurfer?

Portable Firewall

From my point of view it would be great to have a portable firewall. One that can effortless be configured. For example Agnitum Outpost Firewall Free. Than you can do what you like in a secure way.

Is there any support for this???
