What portable applications do you have?

I'm looking to expand my library and willing to share.

Photoshop CS4
Dreamweaver CS5.5
Firefox (Although it seems a bit buggy like some extensions dont work right)
uTorrent

Standalone applications are apps which can run in USB drives too. I have Utorrent and CCleaner. I'd really like to see a portable version of the program manager, or at least ABrosia. :)

Oh okay, so you just put it on your USB and you can use it on other computers?

I do that with the program manager when I AB at uni. Both the mac and pc versions.

THIS! I would really like that.

The benefits of portable apps is I can run it off my portable hd. So I can use my apps at work/school where I can't install this stuff.

No, I just copied the files on to a USB

For Mac, I just copied the Necodex Program Manager.app because all the files are in it's contents.
For PC, I copied the Manager folder that includes the pre_loader.exe and just ran that and it worked!

I've tried that, doesn't work for me. (Only at school though) PCs without restrictions (admin restrictions on Win7) can run the Program manager fine with that.

Wow, I had no idea that there was such a wide variety! :)

I only use a portable variant of Python: http://www.portablepython.com
It's not that great, but it gets the job done - and pretty well for a portable implementation - it should be right up your street Noit. :)

Lucky you, my school doesn't allow USB usage for some reason. :S

Any chance you could share the portable version of mIRC?

I've got Photoshop CS6, Jetaudio, VLC, JDownloader, FontLab Studio 5, Revo Uninstaller Pro v2.5.3, Pidgin 2.10.4, GIMP

Why not just have a web application that can do it all for you regardless of where you are and what capabilities the computer allows?

An online ABrosia would be super cool. :o

You can sell an online ABer subscription in the store too. :)

We've thought about it... it just takes a lot of work to set up something like that. But who knows. Maybe someday :p.

There are ways it could be simplified if we set it up as a kind of remote control.

Because the internet is the worst possible place to trust with your data. Especially in today's age.

Just look at Megaupload. completely gone. Who wants all of there hard work to be able to be erased without any say?

We run that risk right now with neocodex.us :/ I don't see how this is an argument against having a webapp lol

You would also run the risk with keeping the data entirely locally, I'm not sure about his argument either, lol.
