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

Disk partitioning and management software

Submitted by chris.orient on March 31, 2010 - 1:55am

Is there a chance of getting a portable disk partitioning or disk management app? There is a simple free program called SwissKnife from CompuApps, not sure how easy it might be to make it portable though. There are probably other apps out there too. Would this be not possible due to administration rights being necessary? Thanks dudes! You're the best!

Hi,

Mods, I don't know if this should be here or in the OpenOffice Portable Support section or in the General Discussion section, I decided to leave it to your decision to move it or keep it here.

My kid's school requested a USB memory stick to save some homework, they are all windows (2000, 98, and xp) and I decided that this is a good opportunity to introduce them to "my" open source world. So I'm going to give away some cheap 4Gb pendrives with PortableApps.com preinstaled on it as a present to some of my kid's closest school friends.

Portable Program Autolauncher App [RESOLVED]

So, ... I'm a HUGE fan of PortableApps.com but, there is one thing that I really would like to see.

When I plug my USB in, PA Menu launches automatically but then it stops there. I run Pidgin, Thunderbird, An anti-virus program, and usually YahElite right away. My question is:

Is there an .exe program that if I click on it after setting my options, will auto launch several of the programs from my PA USB?

Or even better, is there a way to make programs on my PA USB launch at the same time as my PA Menu does??

This'd come in EXTREMELY handy for "on the fly" use.

Hi.

First time here.
English is not my first language, and I'll apologize if my wording is rude/offensive or put you off, that's not my intention.

I know it has been discussed here
https://portableapps.com/node/20111

I appreciate it if anyone could look at making MyPaint Portable?

Many thanks,
Ichi
