 hdlbob: I like this one. Lots of features. The screenshot link at PFC of the install dialog box doesn't do justice to the program. Go to the webpage and see the full screenshots of the program in action. As I mentioned in the forums, I'm looking forward to reviews by more knowledgable users on how this compares to other dupfinders and clean-up tools. [2010-03-07 16:06]

 guinness: The screenshot is when you first start the program. I intentionally did this so users will know what settings to use to 'make Portable' I presume users will visit the site and not download based just on the entry in TPFC. [2010-03-07 17:31]

 Crid: Weird complications. Interface fonts dont scale, which obscures options. Program dims other software on display and locksout task switching. Music plays without apparent option to mute.

This one has potential but needs lots of polishing. And of course, you can't argue with the price.

At this point IYF seems like the best of the category, but I wish it could search within search results. [2010-08-12 04:05]

New to me. Please send me a message on my Homepage, so we can contact via Email. Would like to see a screenshot of what you mean (for me it looks just like the screenshots on my HP).

"Program dims other software on display and locksout task switching. Music plays without apparent option to mute."
It does.. on the "About" page only. Press Close, hit ESC and everything is fine again. Btw, task switching isn't disable, the About page is just topmost. [2010-08-12 11:36]

 KaFu: After some research I came to the following: I guess you've got a Chinese OS without the fonts "Tahoma", "Arial" and "Lucida Console" which I use in SMF. So the system defaults to the "SimSun" font, which has different dimensions and busted the GUI. I've downloaded that font and see the the fallback-layout in such a case will be acceptable with the next release. [2010-08-12 15:18]

 Jainendra: Great utility !
Somehow I believe that GUI still has room for improvement. What you think kaFu ?

Thanks a lot................... [2010-08-14 14:31]

 KaFu: You're welcome :). Hmmm, what exactly bothers you with the GUI design? Already consumed uncountable hours :). I'll gladly accept specific requests. [2010-08-14 17:13]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
