Having a collection of portable applications at hand, has proven to be very helpful several times.

I wonderer whether any portable app suite or portable app creator provides a cross-plattform approach that supports managing

  • cross-plattform and
  • multi-plattform tools,

ideally

  • sharing their configuration files and
  • keeping them up to date.

    (1) Does the solution itself need to be portable? -- (2) On which platform(s) does the solution need to run? -- (3) What is the difference between "cross-platform" and "multi-platform"?

  • @unor re 3) I would read cross-platform as running under multiple OSs possibly on the same hardware Vs multi-platform one user using the same software on more than one set of hardware, probably running the same OS, but retaining preferences, licence, etc.

For cross platform you could look to satisfy your requirements with python, (available for just about every platform, pre-installed on most other than windows and for windows there is PortablePython if you cannot install python).

Of course a lot depends upon the range of applications that you need to have available.

Disclaimer: I seem to be recommending python/portable python a lot - this is because I use and like them and find that they provide a very powerful and flexible set of tools not because of any vested interests.
