minor site bug?

#1 Post by bzl333 »

hi,
if i go here: http://www.portablefreeware.com/all.php

in Others: java and .NET both show only 1 app, but of course there are 24 NET apps and if i go thru an individual program like Desktop Ticker and click on the link for other NET apps it lists all 24.

should it be fixed or maybe there's a reason?

There are two mechanisms which work like categories. There are the actual categories, and the "additional features" categories.

Because being developed with .NET is not a primary feature of any program, .NET apps are not in the "Others - .NET Apps" category. However, "Others - .NET Apps" is considered to be an "additional feature" of .NET apps. (Yes, I admit that it's misuse of the "additional features" system.) Database.NET had accidentally been placed in the actual category: I removed it from there and added "Others - .NET Apps" as an additional feature.

Regarding jPortable, I originally created a very own category for it: Others - Libraries, referring to dependencies of other programs. Later on Midas moved it to the Others - Java Apps category. I'm afraid there really isn't a good category for it. :?
