Adobe Digital Editions

"The eBook Blues" ...... Sad

I was wondering if this could be done. I have a ton of ebooks in Adobe's PDF format and as you would most likely have figured Adobe ebooks are encrypted so they may only be used with Adobe software (which used to be just the reader, but now Adobe forces you to use DE). It looks like Adobe DE is built with flash coding. Is it possible to make a portable version of this to put on your flash drive? It would be really nice to have an ebook reader used this way.

Qt

As you know qt4 works on windows, mac and of course linux.
this means that kdeapps can be run on all three platforms.
could qt and kdeapps be made portable?
imagine the possibilities!

TimeTracker

I thought this might be a useful program. It's a program that tracks how long the computer is in use, and from what I can tell, can also break down the total amount of time a program is used as well.

it's written in C++, and from what the website shows it doesn't leave registry entries. based on that it's sounds pretty much portable as it is, but a .paf format would be nice

FileZilla 3.0.2

Submitted by shipton on October 17, 2007 - 2:43pm

Just a thought ...

I was wondering when FileZilla might be updated to the 3.0 release. There have been some very nice changes since 2.x. At any rate, it would be nice to "update" the FileZilla PE to 3.0.x.

Note: It has been a good bit since it was released, so we aren't talking a "brand new" software version. (sorry I just read the guidelines and wanted to stress I wasn't talking about a very recent software release)

WinEyes

Submitted by millarrp on October 15, 2007 - 7:29pm

It's a windows port of Xeyes that's found in Unix. For those that's never heard of it before (like me before I found it), it's a set of eyes that will follow the mouse pointer around the screen. I figured that if nothing else, it should give a few moments of pointless fun.

It looks like it's written in C++, and according to the website it's released under the GPL.

it is located at:

it enables Vista Areo on XP systems, it would be nice so I could add some pizazz to my school computers when I am logged on, It's really realistic (as in Vista-Like)
The author also says "Do you have the boring Windows 2000 or XP, and wish it looked like Windows Vista? Or are you stuck with the Windows Home Vista Basic Version without the Aero feature? Maybe you just want to give your existing system a finishing touch... If so, you need the new VystalVivid.
VystalVivid gives your borders the Aero Glass effect just by one click.

[Self-Promotion] Include Nawras Files Splitter

Submitted by nawras_georgy on October 14, 2007 - 12:26pm

I think the software "Nawras Files Splitter v4.0" must be included in your apps list and your apps suite, because it helps us to split any file into smaller parts but also assembling them without using any program as long you are assembling them on a Windows-PC.
Please note that the version 4 is not published yet, but it's going to be soon.
If you want to have a beta version, please write a request to [Email address removed by moderator RM: No self promotion on these forums]
