Request Apps

like spybot S&D

In this forum was mentioned klik, an application for Linux that allows to download and execute a program fom a single compressed file, containing all the dependencies needed.

Has anyone tought of something similar for the Portable Apps on this site? A sort of downloader/installer.

Hello, Group-

I just wanted to put in a formal request for a portable version of the Java Runtime Environment. I use Portable Firefox while at work, and am unable to access content that requires Java (OK, mostly games!)

The computers at work don't have the JRE installed, and no one has administrative privileges except the IT department (who has indicated they're not planning to install the JRE on any systems).

Anyone else want portable Java, or know of any existing portable versions?

if we used qemu for the mac and a small bartpe disk, could we be able to make portable apps for the mac? the smallest bartpe i ever saw was aroung 53mb. if qemu on the mac can automaticly make a connection to the internet like on the windows qemu then everything work work swell. do u think there would be any problems with this?

I've just found out this cool app. It's a PocketVideo encoder, it err...encodes video files to a format suitable to many PDAs or HandHelds. I just downloaded it and saw it was just an executable, didn't write anything to the app folder, don't know about registry, can someone check if it's truly portable?

It ain't opensource but it is free.
i also hadn't seen any app like this (i mean, it's focused on PPC video format converter)
ENJOY!!

Hello.
I would ask if its possible to create an portable CD Image mounter.
I use currently Deamon-Tools 3.47 (Windows 98 SE) to mount some ISO Files, but it would be nice if there where an portable Version of it or a simmilar tool.

Is this possible?

Hi,

I think that there should be a portable IRC client. I personally love Mirc because it has a very powerful scripting language and it is easy to create add-ons. I have already created my own "portable" version of Mirc that I use daily. It also has a relatively small footprint (about 3 MB). There is no installer necessary and I have configured a few options to keep the footprint as small as possible ( Such as disabling logging of chats, and prompting for location to save files to when downloading).

I have a question though about this. Mirc is shareware software. After 30 days it displays nagware to register but you can continue using it.That won't be a problem as far as this site is concerned is it ?

i just started using portable apps.. some of the apps like firefox and thunderbird have default setting changed(like no email address added to addressbook on mail send or no history for web addresses) to reduce number of writes to usb.

Can I have a portable app that I can use to sync files between computer and usb. So when I start working in office I run the sync app and all the usb data is copied to the computer. I use this portable apps from my computer so I dont need to reduce number of writes. When I am done I sync the folder to update any changed files to the usb. I take my usb home and do the same sequence. This way I reduce the number of writes. The app could have an option to delete files securily from the computer after sync( useful when working from a shared pc).

i use fruity loops all the time, and it would be awsome to have a portable version of Fruity loops 6 producers edition xxl if its out there, or a portable version of any edition i guess. just so that i can use it.

if it isnt out there, then i am also looking for info on how to make apps portable, a program was suggested to me but so far it hasnt worked as expected

let me know,

Hi John, hi everyone,

if one uses xampp for development - as I do from the stick sometimes at customers PC's - certain software often is required.
Among these is ImagMagick, expecially with PHP development.
As for another often required software, JAVA, there are a lot of tips to make it portable but ImageMagick "on the stick" would be nice...
