I've been using DeepBurner Free to burn data and music CDs and DVDs, now they have the this DeepBurner Free Portable, is a "Portable edition works straight from your removable media, whether it's a USB flash drive, compact flash card, or even a good old floppy".

I recomend this software.

OpenWengo / WengoPhone / Portable Voip Client

Submitted by nnx on January 25, 2007 - 8:10am

A very nice voip client http://www.wengophone.com/index.php/homePage. It seams like a Skype rebuild, but open source and it`s nearly good as skype (without peer to peer traffic). Just check it out you could be glad, it`s not perfect but imho the developement has the right direction.

Should meet all Request Apps Guidelines. It`s freeware and open source under GPL. You can make free pc to pc calls. To call outside you must have credits. But no one forces you to buy credits and there are no ugly advertisements about it so this shouldn`t matter.

Windows Live Messenger and PDF Creator

Submitted by DisabledTrucker on January 25, 2007 - 1:08am

These are two applications I cannot do without and would love if they were made into a PortableApps application. Since Microsoft and Yahoo joined forces and there is one for GTalk already, if I had one for Live Messenger, I'd be in business and who can go without a printer? PDF Creator, (the open source one, not Foxit,) would be an excellent addition to these packages. Has anyone tried converting AVG anti-virus to PortableApps?

Menu Changes I'd Like to see

Submitted by DisabledTrucker on January 25, 2007 - 12:55am

On the menu, I'd love it if when I hovered over or clicked on the "Documents" area, a list of what I had in those folders would show up, much like the Start Menu in XP does by default when you hover over programs.

Also, can you put a right click menu on the taskbar that shows "Exit", "Options", and "Backup" features at least? It would make it nice if I didn't have to open the menu each time I wanted to install an application or back one up.

SharpDevelop

Submitted by Satal on January 24, 2007 - 7:36am

Hi I was wondering whether anyone had a portable version of a program called SharpDevelop.
(Or another portable VB.net IDE)

Description of software:
#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft's .NET platform. It is open-source.

Provide link to developers website:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

Thank you if anyone has a version of this.

CSSED

It's on sourceforge, uses GTK and has already been ported to windows. A perfect candidate.

Also, I advocate having a separate gtk folder, i put GIMP and Gaim in one folder to save space(which i have then wasted with eclipse)

GNU Lilypond

Submitted by ifoobar710 on January 23, 2007 - 11:24pm

GNU Lilypond is a program to create sheet music. Its website is at http://lilypond.org/web/.

In order for it to work, one has to input information in a text file, and then compile. Inputting can be done with any text editor, but the compiler needs to be installed. I would like to be able to have this portable, so I can keep it in my portable drive, and not have to install in every single computer that I use.

Is there any way to make this portable?
