Request Apps

I need a utility that can get the proxy settings from IE, right clicking is dissabled and so is the tools menu on out public library computers. FF needs the settings to load pages.

At home I have a laptop and a desktop PC, and they're on a wireless network, as is so often the case. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go through hell to set up filesharing properly.

I need something that can run off my USB drive (it's ok if it isn't portable, I'll just make a BAT registry wrapper) that will automagically configure my laptop and my desktop to connect to each other and to share a specific folder of my choosing (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Share) on the home network, without opening security holes.

Any thoughts?

Could anyone make a portable version of Picasa? This would be largely helpful to me when I go to other computers at other people's house and they want to find pictures without installing any files or when I'm at school making a webpage and cannot find a picture because my website is terribly disorganized. This would be awesome if it is possible, because I know there are laws and other things with the way Picasa is made. Just wondering if anyone is good enough at programming to do this because I'm just learning C++ and other languages.

Thanks,

Audacity is a very good program. it might already be able to be used off a thumbdrive. not sure, havent tried it, so i would know, but it would be great to see this made into a portable app. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

While looking up free easy to use X Servers I came across XLiveCD an X Server based on Cygwin that can be run from CD. It's prebuilt as a ISO CD image that one can use to make the CD.

However, I'm wondering if there exists or if someone can make a portable X Server that is much smaller than XLiveCD's 300+ MB? With minimal or no configuration needed to portable-ize it.

I mean Putty for SSH is ~1MB, and WinSCP for SCP/SFTP is ~1MB. Be nice to have X Server for around 1-10MB, or 100MB at the largest.

There is Thunderbird Portable, Firefox Portable, Nvu Portable - So why don't you put them together in Seamonkey Portable?

I feel a Portable bookmark manager would be really nice program to have. (i don't know if one exists, if there is some, please let me know)..

As i use Portable Firefox mainly for carrying bookmarks.Which is really slow while accessing bookmarks .
And now a days firefox is becoming standerd to all computer, its becoming more impotant to carry the bookmarks along, rather than the firefox.

I'd like to see Portable GIMP; as well, I'd like to see the portable loader able to recognize that GTK+ is in ../lib/gtk+-2.0 instead of PortableAppname/lib/gtk+-2.0. This would allow for installation of Portable Gaim and Portable GIMP using the same GTK+.

GIMP would be awesome to show off to people. It really demonstrates a powerful software application that people can identify with.

Does such a thing exist?

Two apps I always use are Portable Firefox and Portable ThunderBird, both of which have switchproxy addins so on the whole I'm happy.

Every other tool I use I have to remember to change the proxy settings when I visit a new customer.

If I had a portable proxy server I could point all of my apps at it and then forget about them. When I changed customers I would just have to configure "my" proxy server and hey presto.

Is this possible/feasable ?

Anybody have an Open Source Flash Animation maker? I've got some non-portable apps that can generate flash presentations (Powerbullet) and screencams (Wink, CamStudio).
Anything out there that can be used to make or convert small animations to flash?
