Request Apps

Hi, I think, it would be a good idea to create PSI Portable. PSI is a great, user friendly Jabber client, the application itself is quite small (about 10MB) and I suppose many people would find it useful. PSI is already possible to be used on a thumbdrive but it is quite difficult to install (you have to copy the app, than copy the profile folder, create a .bat file to set up the profile folder and run the app and sometimes it is also necessary to edit the registry to be able to run psi from a USB drive). This is why I would find it extremely convenient to have it as a real "PortableApp".

Since the original author of LauncFromPort is not going to be releasing any newer versions, and since this app is open source, can anybody out there make a new app but configure it to where it does not need PStart? I personally use ASuite, and I'm sure others use different launchers. Thanks.
[EDIT] On version 1.0, I was able to move LaunchFromPort.exe to a different folder and automatically start it with ASuite. Once I exit ASuite, it would also restore to the previous wallpaper.

Hi,

When will your beta of portable eraser available?

I am using sdelete which is a commandline wipe from sysinternal
I wrote a batch file so that any folder or file that is dragged over will be "directed" to sdelete.exe to do recursive wiping.

The issue was that the directory entries are still valid for NTFS and FAT16 systems when i do file recovery.

Does your portable eraser clean up directories entries?

Would love to do some test on it when it comes available

I find myself often wanting to rip a CD into MP3 format and the machine that I am at only has iTunes or Windows Media Player, both of which I don't trust to rip CDs well (nor in a useful format).

If Grip can run as a Portable App (using Lame for MP3s and Vorbis for oggs) and save the resulting mp3 files onto the root of the Portable Device, life would be grand!

Is there a portable blogging software? So I can write at home (on a thumb drive, of course), then go to cyber cafes to upload it?

There are too much I doesn't know which and what, I'm new at blogging anyway.

Thanks.

Well, Mijenix's-->Ontrack's-->Kroll's-->now V-com's/Avanquest's "PowerDesk" is the best File Mgr/Windows "Explorer" substitute that I've ever seen or used, bar none.

Anyway, if the free version is installed, and then the directory burned to a CD (haven't tried it yet on a memory stick, but expect results'd be similar), it's pretty darn usable as it is.
However, a fraction of the time, it will complain about not having some library file it needs, and it will then go on to work once you click "OK". - but it will then bring up the same message every time you change directories with it. Quite annoying.

The thread title sez it all.
What are the possibilities, folks, of y'all coming up with a version of CD Burner XP Pro (the free version, natch) that is "portable"?...
I asked this question on the application site's board, but got this response:

"Well, I think currently we are not. But once a new version is released, this may change"

My response to this was to say:
"Well, given that the next versions are going to be for ".NET", how is that do-able?...
I mean, I'm not a programmer, but it seems like the best way to make any app portable is to use the simplest available version of the proggy to work with. And, if only a .NET version is made portable, it won't be all that, er...."portable", since it likely would require the machine it's used on to have.NET enabled - and no one I know personally cares that much for .NET in the first place."

GWhere allows you to manage a catalog of your CDs and any other removable media (such as hard disks, floppy disks, Zip disks, CD-ROMs, etc...) indexed in a database. With GWhere it is easy to browse your CDs or to make a quick search without needing to insert each CD one after another.

It is open-source, licensed under the GPL andd really tiny. May be useful for one having many discs and a pendrive.

Hi,

did anybody have a look at kdiff 3 already?

After installed, I can just copy the exe to other systems, already seems to be pretty much portable-- could maybe anybody check if it leaves any traces?

Jochen

I'm looking for a portable Maya or 3D Studio...
