Request Apps

What do you think about those?

Does anyone know of a good file synchronization utility out there?
"Super Flexible File Synchronizer" seems to the best synchronization utility I've found yet, but is not freeware.
Or should I look into a simple backup utility.

A portable dictionary will be good for people who doesn't know great English. Like me

Hi, John:

First, congratulate on the launch of PortableApps.com.

What you have done here will make the life of many people easier.
You should be proud of your work .

Ok, back to the topic, Firefox, Thunderbird, and OpenOffice.org are the major pillars of open source apps that benefit millions of people. Another application I bet most of us would like to see is Portable GIMP (or Portable GIMPShop). I used GIMP at home under Linux and would like to do so in my workplace without any installation so my system admin would not complain.

GIMP has been criticized for its arcane interface, and that's why GIMPShop was created to modify its interface to follow the menu layout of Photoshop, so that Photoshop users can use GIMPShop right away with ease.

gvim will "work" from a removable media, but the problem is that any settings saved to your .vimrc or .gvimrc are not saved because of where gvim tries to access the rc files. A portable version of gvim would be incredibly handy.

Thanks for the great apps.

John,
What we need next is a utility the can intercept, at the system level, the system check for associated program calls and redirect it to the relavent portable apps.
Then portable really will be portable even to linking between applications.

I know a batch or script can be used that will log the existing FTYPE associations in windows and replace them the with the current portable locations the restore them later.

i.e.
C:\Program Files\Support Tools>ftype http >> CurrentSetting.txt
C:\Program Files\Support Tools>ftype https >> CurrentSetting.txt
would yield a file with:
http=C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1"

I think you should make Quintessential portable because it is pretty small and requires hardly any CPU so it would be fairly easy to make portable.

Greetings, I have been thoroughly enjoying pocket GAIM and pocket pocket Firefox; very good ideas.
I'm not sure how possible it would be, but perhaps a portable version of The GIMP could be made?
