Request Apps

for those of you who don't know auto hot key is an open source portable hotkey app but it also does scripts. think of all the times you have had to quickly exit your apps and eject your drive. If someone were able to program a script that did that it would be a great tool for appers everywhere ! the url is www.autohotkey.com make the world a better place!

Has anyone been looking at porting Inkscape to a portable app, since as we have GIMP as an open-source equivalent for Photoshop, Inkscape gives similar capabilities to Illustrator / Freehand for professional quality vector graphics.

In an ideal world, when Scribus (open source DTP) becomes stable under windows, then that's another possibility

Would it be possible to port a VNC application like RealVNC? If not the server then the viewer would be just as good.

I need a utility that can get the proxy settings from IE, right clicking is dissabled and so is the tools menu on out public library computers. FF needs the settings to load pages.

At home I have a laptop and a desktop PC, and they're on a wireless network, as is so often the case. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go through hell to set up filesharing properly.

I need something that can run off my USB drive (it's ok if it isn't portable, I'll just make a BAT registry wrapper) that will automagically configure my laptop and my desktop to connect to each other and to share a specific folder of my choosing (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Share) on the home network, without opening security holes.

Any thoughts?

Could anyone make a portable version of Picasa? This would be largely helpful to me when I go to other computers at other people's house and they want to find pictures without installing any files or when I'm at school making a webpage and cannot find a picture because my website is terribly disorganized. This would be awesome if it is possible, because I know there are laws and other things with the way Picasa is made. Just wondering if anyone is good enough at programming to do this because I'm just learning C++ and other languages.

Thanks,

Tyler

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.
