Request Apps

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

Is there a portable app like this?

Submitted by chobo2 on September 22, 2007 - 5:12pm

Hi

I am looking for a portable app that basically does the same sort of things as this program does. they have a portable app for it but they want money for it and I rather just try to get something free that is almost the same as the app.

They have a free lite version so maybe that could be made into a portable app since it is free.

I have this porgram to watch free internet tv on my usbstick, but there's no launcher for portableapps.com and installer.

If someone wants to build a propper installer+launcher, leave a post.

Ditto, clipboard extension & manager

Submitted by tmaibaum on September 22, 2007 - 9:03am

Hi,

I would like to add "Ditto", an open-source/freeware application that "saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time" (from the website).
I've been using it for one or two years and don't know how I could have ever lived without it... Wink
There used to be a portable version that would only run from a U3 drive (:o), but now there's a regular portable version, too.

Website http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/

Hope you'll like it.

SVN Client (GUI)

Submitted by miksago on September 22, 2007 - 4:40am

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's going to be a SVN client with a GUI developed. I found a topic a little while back about SVN clients, but it didn't say if one was to be developed.
Any Responses would be of great help.

Cheers,
Miksago.

portable app converter

Submitted by betamaxman on September 22, 2007 - 1:39am

A way to convert simple applications that either run from an executable or from their folder has an executable to run from the portable apps start menu would be sweet.
For example I use a fav undelete app called 'restoration' that is a simple executable that can restore files. It would be great to convert this or other such apps to portable apps on the fly.

Portable cd/dvd drive , rw drive emulation

Submitted by DojoStatic on September 21, 2007 - 11:27pm

I would like to see an app that can add cd/dvd drive emulation in a portable setup
i know this isnt impossible because truecrypt can make removable virtual drives from the files you can create with it

---if you have rw emulation then i would like to be able to create disk isos
---drives must be removed on system shutdown or program termination
---must be totally steath

* http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
daemon-tools --free, read the setup carefully because the setup contains adware all you have to do is uncheck the adware installation

I quite like this program for quick and dirty gallery making-
LightBox JS Web Gallery Generator

I don't think it leaves any reg entries . . . but I'm no programmer.

And I think it's open source . . . isn't it? I mean, the code's available on that page.

Request: Yahoo_autosync.exe

Submitted by pwhooftman on September 20, 2007 - 5:13pm

My work-pc is so heavily locked down that i haven't been able to find an app that synchronizes Outlook (in Exchange mode) with Yahoo Calendar or Google Calendar.
With locked down, i mean no admin rights, no possibility to load add-ins in Outlook, no installation of .net framework 2.0.

It seems to me that Yahoo Autosync (http://calendar.mail.yahoo.com/YYY,436912/srt,0/?v=120&a0=2&pv=61) comes close to a lightweigth sync client, but there are stil registry entries involved.

Can anyone make an true portable app out of yahoo autosysnc?

P2Portable

Submitted by Random1448 on September 20, 2007 - 3:07am

I know, I know, I did a search and see people have posted about Ares p2p client before, AND that someone is working on one, but the one that is being worked on doesn't seem to be working and hasn't been updated. So if you could get a portable apps version of ares, PLEASE do so, or if not ares any open source P2P client. A p2p could be like one of the best portable apps ever, download anything, anywhere!.

here's the ares website: http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/
