For the forum you mean? I don't think Sandboxie has a portable version.

Re: Sandboxie become free

Windows's built-in sandbox is another option for Windows 10 users: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-sandbox Ever since I heard about that I've been wondering what would happen to Sandboxie, especially given its slow pace of development since being bought out years ago (at least, last I checke...

Re: GetFoldersize & AllDup

Perhaps out of spite for the last version of GetFolderSize we recommend it seems the current owner of the domain linked in the entry from the archive.org mirror issued a robots.txt exclusion to the exact download URL we link to, which archive.org respects and has hidden the mirror from public view. ...

Re: ImgDrive

Given the nature of mounting drives does this qualify for an entry here or was it just due to not being tested thoroughly for portability yet as smaragdus mentioned?

Re: WebP Graphics Format

Again, I'm not sure I trust that as it's Google data talking about Google's formats doing well. Like the various WEBP tests I looked into, seeing better data (in this case from an independent source) would be ideal. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers were accurate. I want to advoca...

Re: WebP Graphics Format

The short version is: if it's worth advocating for, I couldn't tell and I'm not seeing much interest in the format. When I looked into it a while back, the only reason I found to use WebP over other formats was for thumbnails. Otherwise I'm not seeing clear view that sets it apart from other, more ...

Re: New at NirSoft

One thing I'd say about the FolderChangesView entry is it can't be found in PFDB searches using the queries 'monitor files' or 'monitor changes' which lead me to look into other programs that did show up in results (despite even thinking to myself it would have been nice if Nirsoft had something for...

Re: Directory Monitor

Anyone know why their FAQ has an item about installing a trusted root certificate of theirs in Windows for Directory Monitor? What purpose does it serve for this program? Hardly seems like a trivial thing one should be installing without knowing what it's for.

Re: Inviska Rename

What would boost productivity with this program considerably for large directories (which is most I use renaming programs with) would be an option to display in both panes only files that match the entered rename pattern. As currently if the working directory is filled with many files and you're onl...

Re: Video player that has 10 secs back & forward buttons ?

I'll add that with Potplayer one can also edit any skin to make a button on a skin become 'go forward/back in time' rather than 'go to next/prev file'. The commands I'm aware of for the first Time Jump value seen in the Playback preferences Ding mentioned above are: ID_PLAYBACK_5SEC_BACK ID_PLAYBACK...

Re: Portable ImageGrab

Would like to add PotPlayer into the mix. It's been my video player for years (after trying virtually all of them at one point or another) and the consecutive image capture (Ctrl+G) is my go-to for quick and easy video frame output with adjustable settings. Among them: Choose a filename prefix What ...

WebP Graphics Format

[ Moderator note : this thread was split from the InDeep Software thread.] --- Supports WEBP now... This reminded me that I recently I discovered Pictus supported it, after opening a WEBP with it by accident (turns out it was added back in v1.6). Was a bit heavier on the CPU performance-wise though...

Re: KO Approach 0.2.1 Win32 Best Explorer Enhancement

I used a similar program when I ran XP that did the same thing from right-clicking directories (or zip files). Was pretty useful though can't recall the name, I don't believe it was this one though since the name isn't familiar. Had forgotten about it until this topic. Somewhat related, that I also ...

Re: Deprecating rank for inactive users

Seems like way to much "power" in the hands of the few. It's a fairly small group of active users atm and the current mods are also the most engaged in maintaining entries so it doesn't seem unreasonable to allow them, if there's a community consensus by enough active forum users, to make...

Re: ScreenToGif

A commercial company- Apowersoft , is trying to sell ScreenToGif as a commercial product- Apowersoft GIF , see this issue at GitHub. This is outrageous. Based on this recent PFDB thread and also looking at ScreenToGif's license the selling of the program is actually allowed by the license but it re...
