Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but wanted you let you know that Gaim is not the only "portable" Internet Messager; Trillian Anywhere is available. Actually its a step-by-step on how to make Trillian run off a USB flash drive. It's a 25mb program vs. 9 mb for Portable Gaim.

It would be nice to see it as a true Portable Trillian, but there might be $$$ issues with Cerulean Studio.

Does anyone know if this writes to the hard drive or registry anywhere? This is a really nice word processor that supports tons of document formats. It comes with an installer but I just moved it to a folder then uninstalled. I know that it creates 2 .ini files the first time you run it, qjot.ini and qjotrecent.ini.

Is there a good portable MD5 check utility?
Does it support other formats?

Hello!

I enjoy using the portable applications on this site, I've been a long time Portable Firefox user.

I would like to use a portable version of the Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly know as Konfabulator).

If you haven't yet used the awesome desktop enhancement tools, check it out (http://widgets.yahoo.com/)!

Thanks!

What about Abilon? http://www.abilon.org/

It saves news and memories somewhere on the local computer but it doesn't need any setup. I would call it half portable.

call me nuts, but is there any chance of getting that on a usb stick.

if not, what's there to prevent it from being portable?

ps. i know about DSL and flashlinux

How about one? I have seen one called HJ-Zip, but it really stinks. I knwo it is probbaly not possible to do WinZip, but maybe one of the open source ones.

As soon as it's available for Windows in early 2006. This would be a killer portable applications!

Others have asked for portable versions of music players (i.e., foobar, winamp, QMP) and some of these have been misquoted as "open source" rather than closed source freeware.

I would like to suggest musikCube (http://musikcube.com/) as an open source, media library based, music player worthy and available for changes to the source code to make it portable. It uses BASS libraries and SQL Lite database and is very lightweight and fast. Currently it takes a multi-user approach, saving settings in a users "My Documents" folder. It also currently does not allow for relative path specification to synchronize its media library with. Many at the musikCube forums have requested such a feature.

There isn't really any conversion necessary here -- these are just very useful, already more or less portable, apps that my team bundles internally in our workgroup along with the PortableSuite... not sure about the licensing suitability for making them formally a part of the Portable Suite though.
