Google is obvious the big name in Internet at the moment but like Yahoo, they recommend you install the Google Toolbar and I don't know that I'm too thrilled about that. I'm guessing that there is no toolbar for the Mac (and maybe one for Linux, but that's a maybe). Livefavorites.com looks quite nic...

Apparently nedwolf is giving spurl.net a thumbs up. I would use Yahoo but that would defeat the purpose, since it seems that you have to install the toolbar and I really don't want to have to do that. I also retract my statement about frames, as I see now that they could be useful in this situation....

Online Bookmark Manager - Suggestions please
I've finally given up on the idea of having a portable bookmark manager (that is freeware or open source) and am now actually coming around to the idea of having an online bookmark repository. Now I know that there are a million and one sites that offer free bookmark storage but I was wondering if p...

The Flash Memory Toolkit looks quite interesting, but sadly not free.

It's an interesting idea but one that I'd prefer to see alongside a user-wide rating system because, as you said yourself, there are literally hundreds of applications in the database and I use (or have used) only a very small percentage of them. Furthermore, already in the very small list of apps t...

Well I'm sort of going to contradict myself a little bit and say that the most important thing is to keep it fairly simple (however, not SO simple as to use a single 5 star rating system). I probably don't need to go into the dangers of making the rating system so horrendously complicated. My instin...

As I suspected, I've been checking again and PStart memory usage seems to peak at around 9MB (which is a figure that I had in my head from previous tests). So, ASuite isn't too far behind, I'm just a minimalist kinda guy... basically I'm tight fisted and refuse to shell out for a 10GHz quad core PC ...

Thanks for the input. My current thinking wrt. prefs.txt file is that I want my cake and eat it too. Currently it's stored in %APP_DATA% directory because this is recommended by Microsoft guidelines. But doesn't work for portable usage. Solution I'm thinking about is: detect portable usage (if app ...

I've just been testing it some more and it seems that window position is 'remembered' if I open Sumatra.exe directly, but not if I double-click a PDF file. Furthermore, the window size is never remembered and seems to default to some annoyingly high size that it just slightly too big to fit on my sc...

I'm the author of SumatraPDF and I'm interested in making in more portable. Currently, the only thing Sumatra PDF writes to registry is to associate itself with PDF files. In future versions it'll ask the user for permission first. Sumatra also remembers things like list of recently opened files by...

I just tried this program out for the very first time and must say that I was pleasantly surprised, there are some really nice features and I was almost tempted to abandon PStart right there and then BUT (and you knew it was coming didn't you!)... The memory usage seems to be more than double that o...
