Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Cross-platform file tagger, searcher, explorer, and previewer

Submitted by mcandre on January 2, 2013 - 9:33pm

I use Mac, Windows, and Linux, but I use the same USB drive for all of my files, formatted NTFS. I'd like to tag my files in such a way that no matter which OS I'm using, I can search for my files, explorer them, and preview them the same way.

I don't mind using a special app for exploring and previewing, but I'd much rather integrate Mac Spotlight comments, Windows file tags, and Linux Beagle tags so that I can browse files using the OS's native file explorer program.

As it sounds, it's a Pokemon MMO. The client requires a Java Runtime Environment (and jPortable is the only way it can work on my computer).

Well anyway, I don't need this completely Portable. Just want it to work with the portable JRE. Anyone know how I can do this?

Update cancellation suggestion

Submitted by lewisbd on December 18, 2012 - 12:48pm

I elected to update 34 applications. During the update process I received several error messages to the effect that the update could not be downloaded. So I later returned to the update utility and again elected to update all 34 applications. As soon as I clicked the OK or Start button, I decided I would like to update only a few at a time to determine which apps were generating the error messages. So I clicked the "Cancel" button, only to be reminded that there is no apparent way to cancel the entire Update operation without clicking "Cancel" 34 times, in this case.
