The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

[Present is now the official forum topic of PDFtk Builder -- https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1066] PDFtk Builder (v. 2.35) is another GUI -- and I think an excellent one -- for use with PDFtk's command line pdf tools. The program file (and, optionally, a small help file) should be extracted fr...

[Mod note: Posts mentioned here were moved to their own topic, at https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24990] Andrew, What about my recommendation immediately above for dsMD5 and dsSHA? Note that they are only 6kb and 7kb, compared to 248kb for MD5 GUI (which is admittedly more fe...

[Mod note: some posts have been moved here from the MD5 GUI topic, at https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=874] [NOTE2: for info on DS software programs, check https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=96778#p96778] OK, while we're at it . . . dsMD5 v. 1.02 (6kb) is ...

FirefoxPortable 2.0 Release Candidate 3 is essentially the final version of 2.0, but the developer (John Haller) can't release it as such until he has worked out the final license details and required readme files with the Mozilla Foundation. I have been using this portable version of Firefox 2.0 fo...

This could be good. Too bad it doesn't work for folders. FreeFile 1.2 works with folders, but it uses .NET so it does not qualify as portable under the criteria used by Andrew. It is, however, useful if you are using a machine with .NET running. FreeFile is also small, only 56kb uncompressed. FreeF...

DelAny is lightweight and powerful file deletion utility meant for files that cannot be accessed/deleted with usual methods (Windows Explorer, Command Prompt etc.). DelAny is capable of deleting most files on non-rootkited Windows system. To delete a file DelAny will do the following: * bypass any ...

Andrew, Thanks for correcting the entry. I agree that UltraEdit is no longer the only game in town -- as it was a few years ago. In fact, I doubt I will renew my license/maintenance contract to UltraEdit when it expires next year, because there are other solutions now available that meet my needs an...

I just discovered that this same issue was raised earlier in the discussion at http://portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=79&highlight=ultraedit. Nevertheless, the error about UltraEdit remains in the synopsis of PSPad in the database. Andrew or Fluffly, can we get this corrected or clar...

The recent entry for PSPad in the database contains the following statement: I was a great fan of UltraEdit all along, but I hate reconfiguring the settings every time I run it on a new machine. This seems to be misleading and erroneous. As has been posted on these forums by someone else before, Ult...

With all due respect to the portablefreeware people, an application that requires using Universal Extractor to be portable... isn't. It certainly is less convenient to have to extract the files with Universal Extractor, but I don't see why that would make a program non-portable. By that logic, any ...

I believe that would require installing a printer driver, which requires admin privileges. As an alternative to a portable PDF application, you could use a a free on-line service to convert most file formats to PDF. For example, you might look at http://convert.neevia.com/ . You will find a list of ...

I was looking for something better than the "Family Tree Maker v5.0b for Windows 95" software I received as a gift years ago. Interesting note: it runs portable, even on XP! FTM is WAY better than the free stuff. My wife is using PAF 5.2, which is freeware, based on the recommendation abo...

I really like ZuluPad, but I don't think it is too difficult for the author to make a small change and use ZuluPad.ini in the EXE folder if one is found, since he has already made the move from registry to INI file. It is probably a one or two liner thing. Is it possible for you to add this comment...
