I recommend you to include Bookmark Base (http://www.bookmarkbase.com) to the “Portable Browsers and Internet Tools” section.

@Andrew
Seems like an excellent tool, but unfortunately it’s not free ($20). I would rather recommend installing free Bookmark sync extension on a portable version of Firefox. Not as flexible as BookmarkBase but should be fine for most folks.

[...] editores de textos a Sistemas Operacionais, dúvida? Então dá uma olhada ai:  PortableApps - MakeUseOf - [...]

Woah! Superb list. I managed to make the ones I downloaded from of these to work with the Portable Apps menu by creating a Self-extracting archive and then using Install App from the menu. It’s cooler than going everytime to your drive and double-clicking the app icon! [All except opera... It detects only .exe whereas Opera@USB needs op.jar to be clicked to run.]

Btw, you missed Notepad++, I do know that you can’t note all of them.. still pointing out. Thanks again for the list!

@Ashish
Thanks for the the heads up on Notepad++. I am going to add it to the list.
BTW, you can also create a portable start menu for all your shortcuts.

Actually, I wanted to inform you about MPlayer portable but while posting this comment I remembered only Notepad ++ . lol!

Yes, I think using PStart. But as of now, all of the external programs are added to the PortableApps Menu thanks to the procedure I described above. Problem is it detects the .exe’s and Opera@usb requires the .jar file to be run. Now if they could only allow dragging shortcuts to the menu, it would totally kill the competition!

Thanks for the cool list again!

Yeap, shortcut drag’n drop functionality would make it as good as desktop itself.

excellent

There are also:
Portable Vienna RSS reader for OS X:
http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/vienna/

Portable Celtx OS X screenwriting:
http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/celtx

95% of OS X applilcations are portable in the mean that you can install them with a drag and drop and put them on a USB stick (or everywhere) instead in the default Application folder. What make them really “Portable” by name is the fact that all user/app preferences remain and are carried on the USB stick and not on guest hard disk.

@Gand

Thanks for sharing, although I have never used Mac before it’s good to know.

Restrictions on Portable Apps, about just allowing exe files can be surpassed using BatchCompiler (search google for “JPSoft_batcom10uk.zip”), which allows one to compile a batch file into binary executable.

Functionalities like drag’n'drop, categories, and much more, can be added easily using Karl McMurdo mod r30, for “Portable Apps Menu”, available here (http://portableapps.xrx.ca/portable-apps-menu-mod/).
