Request Apps

Intro: Hi, John. I'm a long time (ab)user of PortableApps and also a Drupal user but this is the first time I'm going to make an app request. Thanks for the opportunity :-).

Program: BareGrep

What it is: A free file finding and text searching tool with latest release "Release 3.50a" dated 2006-11-02

I don't even know if any apps of this category EXIST, but I know that it would be rather useful. What I've got in mind is something that tracks processes - particularly apps from the Portableapps folder - and acts like a firewall for the registry. That way, if someone finds an app that works without the registry but wants to use it anyway (Looking at you, scirra.com team!) you can use it anyway.

I’d like to request RedShift GUI.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/redshiftgui/

The developer is Mao Yu aka Maoserr, but he doesn’t seem to be active anymore.

This is a program similar to F.lux—it changes the color temperature of your monitor based on time of day, to make nighttime use more comfortable.

Unlike F.lux, it can run without an install, semi-portably. The problem is it doesn’t store its settings in the same directory as the executable, but in AppData, requiring the user to manually copy over redshiftg.ini.

Ok, not sure if this, the Portable apps dev, or general forum is the right place to post it. If I screwed up then sorry ^^;

Anyway, I found a VPN app called "Freegate" that doesn't require installation or special drivers.
All I can say it works like a charm, the IP adress of the computer I was using changed from "CYBERARLES france" to some electronic company in the US XD
Its main objective though is "anti-censorship", for China I believe. But it'll work for privacy also.

Hi Developers,

http://lightzoneproject.org/

Lightzone is fairly new to the open-source world since it used to be a commercial software. I believe it transitioned to be open-source just early this year.

I have recently started using NirSoft and it's a great combination of utilities. I think it would be a great add to the portable apps community. Here is a link to the site and downloader: http://www.nirsoft.net/ http://launcher.nirsoft.net/

A few websites require DivX (http://www.divx.com/) to play the videos

Contains a lot of things that were in IBM's Lotus Symphony (I actually liked it)..

Hi,
this was a great free app and is now only available from the visualjockey facebook page. It is a fine piece of work and still heavily used.
