Inkscape Portable v1.3

Andrew Lee on 18 Oct 2023
  • 277MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 15 Oct 2023
  • Suggested by Danilo

Inkscape is a vector graphics editor and open alternative to commercial apps like Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X. Useful for branding, icons, web design, publishing and even illustrated maps, it supports features like shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns and grouping. Uses the open W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format, as well as exporting to other vector-based and standard image types like PNG. Imports formats such as JPEG, PNG and TIFF.

Inkscape Portable is a portable wrapper distributed by the publisher using the PortableApps.com format. Alternatively, X-Inkscape is another wrapper that writes settings to the application folder.

Those on Windows XP and Vista should use 0.92.3 as that is the last supported version for those operating systems.

@dmocha: It normally takes awhile before upstream changes make their way to the folks at portableapps.com

dmocha on 2022-12-06 16:26

@Andrew Lee: Yes I know about it. I don't expect portableapps.com to make a 64 bit version any time soon. Someone already asked them about it and got a link: https://portableapps.com/node/24371. That's why I'm asking here, maybe someone has tried or knows something.

The version currently packaged at portableapps.com is 1.2.2

I gotta agree with @smaragdus its up to the anti-virus developer to correct their mistake naming something as malware or anything bad when in fact it is not! I have used this software for quite some time and really like and its easy to use & works great.

There is a v2.6.21, only for x64.
"same as 2.6.20 with x265 encoder fixed on win64"

https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/files/avidemux/2.6.21/

turionaltec on 2019-04-16 06:31

Love this software to do quick edits (just cutting out a clip from a longer video), or to convert file types (avi->mp4). If the codec remains the same it will be done in seconds!

PAFuser on 2017-12-29 03:27

https://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable Version: 4.1.4 10/19/2017. Version: 4.1.5 is listed on OpenOffice site 12/28/2017 release.

DzejPy on 2024-04-01 05:48

The current version is 4.1.15 (22 December 2023). The changes are small and security related.
OpenOffice is faster than LibreOffice. The stability and immutability of the environment is great. If OpenOffice had better support for working with Office Open XML (OOXML), it would be the obvious choice for users who use common functions to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
