Request Apps

Audacity is a very good program. it might already be able to be used off a thumbdrive. not sure, havent tried it, so i would know, but it would be great to see this made into a portable app. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

While looking up free easy to use X Servers I came across XLiveCD an X Server based on Cygwin that can be run from CD. It's prebuilt as a ISO CD image that one can use to make the CD.

However, I'm wondering if there exists or if someone can make a portable X Server that is much smaller than XLiveCD's 300+ MB? With minimal or no configuration needed to portable-ize it.

I mean Putty for SSH is ~1MB, and WinSCP for SCP/SFTP is ~1MB. Be nice to have X Server for around 1-10MB, or 100MB at the largest.

There is Thunderbird Portable, Firefox Portable, Nvu Portable - So why don't you put them together in Seamonkey Portable?

I think it would be great to have Juice (ipodder.sourceforge.net) converted to a portable app. I installed the program to my hard drive, then copied the folder to my flash drive and the software does run, but the settings are not retained (feeds, target folder, etc.) I think someone could do this fairly easily, but I'm not the one. I don't have a clue what to do. It is open-source, so modification shouldn't be a problem.

I feel a Portable bookmark manager would be really nice program to have. (i don't know if one exists, if there is some, please let me know)..

As i use Portable Firefox mainly for carrying bookmarks.Which is really slow while accessing bookmarks .
And now a days firefox is becoming standerd to all computer, its becoming more impotant to carry the bookmarks along, rather than the firefox.

I'd like to see Portable GIMP; as well, I'd like to see the portable loader able to recognize that GTK+ is in ../lib/gtk+-2.0 instead of PortableAppname/lib/gtk+-2.0. This would allow for installation of Portable Gaim and Portable GIMP using the same GTK+.

GIMP would be awesome to show off to people. It really demonstrates a powerful software application that people can identify with.

Looking for :
An graphic editer with the power of photoshop
And a firewall like zonealarm

Does such a thing exist?

Two apps I always use are Portable Firefox and Portable ThunderBird, both of which have switchproxy addins so on the whole I'm happy.

Every other tool I use I have to remember to change the proxy settings when I visit a new customer.

If I had a portable proxy server I could point all of my apps at it and then forget about them. When I changed customers I would just have to configure "my" proxy server and hey presto.

Is this possible/feasable ?

Anybody have an Open Source Flash Animation maker? I've got some non-portable apps that can generate flash presentations (Powerbullet) and screencams (Wink, CamStudio).
Anything out there that can be used to make or convert small animations to flash?

At school I use macs, I was wonderring if anyone knows of a potable gaim for Mac OSX if not does anyone have the equipment and talent to make it? It would really be appreciated. Also, any kind of IM Client for mac would be nice as long as it's portable.
