Portable itunes

a portable version of apple's Itunes would be great!

I'm stuck behind dial-up and would love to use Itunes at school where we have a much better connection.

It's either this or a laptop.

How about some portable Bible software?

There is a FREE and excellent Bible software package called e-Sword (www.e-sword.net) that has a big bunch of add-ons available for it. It would really be great to have this on my USB memory stick for studying during lunchtime at work.

I know requesting Bible software for portable app status may sound a little unusual, but some of us do think about (and use) programs like that. (GRIN)

By the way, hats off to John for an incredible job on the portable app conversions.

Great work!

Portable ClamWin / WinPooch combo

Submitted by Thox on February 28, 2006 - 6:05am

WinPooch can integrate with ClamWin by looking for it in the registry and loading up ClamWin.conf. If I hard code some absolute paths in the registry and my own ClamWin.conf file then I can force WinPooch to scan all files with my portable ClamWin (actually I'm just using plain old ClamAV with a GUI nearby).

It's not quite right though - WinPooch always comes up with an "all clear" report asking if I'm sure I want to continue - even though the report says everything is fine.

I've tried making WinPooch call clamwin.exe with the --no-summary and -i (infected only) switches, but they don't stop the popup from WinPooch - they just make the popup show an empty box and still asking if I want to open it.

I'm not too sure it can be done, as I toyed with it for a good bit of time.

If anyone has any pointers I'm open to suggestions.

scroll bar width

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 27, 2006 - 5:48pm

I'm very impressed with portable apps, as user.
I wish I could share these softwares with a good friend of mine.
Infortunately, bieng disabled, he cannot use the scroll bars because they are too narrow (He emulates a mouse cursor with his eye sight).
Would it be possible to find a way to widden scroll bars (15 mm) ?
I also notice that sometimes the "fixed size" windows don't show all their content (buttons, label... like smartision Screencopy in "mode avancé").
In other word, is it possible to custumize window frames(setup file ?)
