LyX portable

Submitted by gmsms on May 19, 2011 - 3:00pm

Hello,

first please excuse my poor english.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG): http://www.lyx.org.

Some years befor there has been topics about a portable LyX in PortableApps. But they didn't induce a portable Lyx.

On http://code.google.com/p/lytex/ there has been a portable Lyx für a while. It worked well, but it is abandoned now.

LyX had a a great leap forward now with the version 2.0, that was published this month.

Package manager?

Hello, I'm new in your community. My question is not a very request, but a suggest: cool download managers (such as winwget, wxdownload fast, free download manager) exist yet, and an updater too (you are building one in the new platform 2.0, aren't?)... why don'use them to build your own portableapps.com "package manager" (just such as a linux distribution)?

SqlDbx

Submitted by DeMarfey on May 12, 2011 - 5:22pm

Hello,

At work, I use SqlDbx personnal edition every Day to request my Oracle and SQL Server database.

I get it at www.sqldbx.com
On there website, I read this:

"SqlDbx is a standalone executable file, so no installation is necessary. Furthermore, SqlDbx does not install or modify anything on the user's computer."

"SqlDbx uses one Registry entry to store configuration. Registry key located in HKCU\Software\SqlDbx. Other then that SqlDbx does not modify anything else."
