QupZilla v1.4.3 Updated

Checker on 19 May 2013

QupZilla is a lightweight and modern web browser that implements all standard features, as well as extras like a SSL certificate manager, search engine manager, themes, speed dial, extensions, AdBlock, GreaseMonkey, mouse gestures, access keys navigation, a command-line interface, and more.

Cross-platform (Linux, OS/2 and Haiku OS) and, despite the name, the program is not Mozilla Gecko-based: uses the WebKit core and Qt Framework used by Safari and Chrome.

Alternatively, QupZilla Portable is stealth, portablizes paths and bundles the required Visual C DLLs.

In my very unscientific testing, the program starts up quickly and does use radically less memory at than most other browsers (54 megs) but with just a few tabs open it quickly balloons to 120 megs (around the same that most other browsers use).

Still, supports do not track which Chromium has abandoned, looks like it's under active development, and seems pretty solid (doesn't crash). Looks like a strong secondary browser with maybe some hope of pushing into the primary spot down the road.

Been testing it often since my first post as a secondary browser and it looks too unstable (crashing) for any serious use. Will keep testing.

Pazera Free Audio Extractor v1.4

I am Baas on 17 Oct 2012
  • 3MB (uncompressed)
  • Suggested by jack

Pazera Free Audio Extractor takes the audio from most major video files without loss of sound quality or converts them to a variety of audio formats including MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, FLAC, OGG or WAV. The program can also behave as a simple conversion tool from one audio format to another (e.g. AAC to MP3). Video formats supported include AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, VOB, MKV and more.

By default, the program will extract/convert to MP3. Select "Try extract original audio stream" to avoid re-encoding. This is faster, but may result in a format some devices can't read. Additionally, the program has a number of predefined settings (profiles) specially designed for novice users. More advanced users can easily customize audio encoding parameters with output parameters.

Category:
System Requirements: Win98 / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: No
License: Freeware (includes FFmpeg, released under the LGPL)
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch AudioExtractor.exe.

I was only using this app to extract music from downloaded YouTube videos, until I discovered another use for it: It flawlessly corrected all the MP3s in my collection that had incorrect duration info. Those files had been extracted several years ago with a faulty Windows Mobile app on my PDA. Some of them indicated as much as an hour in length, when in fact the songs were often no longer than 4 minutes; they all showed transfer rates of only 8 kb/s! The songs played OK, but the seek bar in my player was useless on them. I was able to correct this by batch converting all of them in the Pazera extractor (.mp3 to .mp3), without a single glitsch. Bravo, Pazera Software!

If I extract an mp4 with aac audio that I downloaded from youtube and in the program I choose mp3 rather than "extract original audio stream"(which would be aac), am I losing any quality?

I assume the original audio was also mp3 and youtube converted it to aac. Does the youtube conversion hurt the quality as well?

freakazoid on 2013-02-25 18:42

YouTube converts the audio so if you are converting YouTube's video to MP3, what you're really doing is decoding and re-encoding the audio twice. (Three times if the original source wasn't lossless).

It helps if you download the most high bitrate of the video (720p or higher). 360p-480p vids use roughly 96kbps VBR; 720p-1080p uses 192kbps VBR.

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013

TreeSize Free shows you instantly which files or folders are taking up the most space on your harddisk without using heavy system resources or reading the drive extensively.

Category:

  4. Launch TreeSizeFree.exe
What's new?

    - You can now define if matching should be done normally considering the wildcards * and ?, if an exact match should be performed, or if the pattern is treated as regular expression.
    - You can decide if the given pattern should be matched against the full path or just against the object name.
  • The right click menu now offers to remove a folder temporarily from TreeSize Free or to exclude it permanently from scans.
  • A few minor improvements and fixes have been incorporated.

After using this software I found a file "GlobalOptions.xml" in the user profile folder. It's not stealth.

mrpink on 2012-01-29 20:40

On XP it creates an empty folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\JAM Software\TreeSize Free
and ofcourse don't tick the "show in explorer menu" option

KeePass v1.25

SYSTEM on 21 Jan 2013

KeePass is a password manager that helps you store and manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. You need only remember one single master password to unlock the whole database, which is encrypted using AES and Twofish algorithms.

The program includes a strong automatic password generator, expire dates, customized icons and categories, etc.

Note: Since V2.x requires the .NET framework, we only track changes for V1.x for the database.

Alternatively, KeePass Password Safe Portable and X-KeePass are also available.

Category:
System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: GDIPLUS.DLL
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: No
License: GPL

What's new? New Features:
  • Added option to show the tray icon only if the main window has been sent to the tray.
  • The caret position in a secure edit control is now preserved when unhiding and hiding the content.
  • When starting KeePass for the first time, it asks whether to enable the automatic update check or not (if not enabled already).
  • KeePass now shows an error message when the user accidentally attempts to use a database file as key file.
  • When holding Alt while double-clicking onto a notes field in the main entry list, KeePass now copies the displayed cell text instead of the raw notes to the clipboard.
Improvements:
  • {GOOGLECHROME} placeholder: updated detection code to also support the latest versions of Chrome.
  • Enhanced user switch detection.
  • Moved quick search options to a separate category.
  • Improved update check.
  • The 'No updates available' message is not shown in the status bar anymore (updates and errors are shown).

Been using this program since early 2007 and don't know how I could do without. Truly a grand piece of art!

Mike on 2009-09-10 15:51

This is my favorite password manager. I've been using it for 2 years.

Magibon on 2011-06-22 19:06

I was using PortableApps version for quite some time.
But have recently switched to v2 because i use this mainly on my Notebook and .Net is not a problem for me.

I used to store my Usernames and Passwords in a text file, but this app. is great.

Thanks to the author for making this free :)
This is one of my most utilized apps. on my Notebook.

This is great!

How many times have you downloaded .png format icons?
This is quick, easy, and the output icon is the best quality i have seen.

Sure there are other similar tools, but the icon output is always crappy or small.

Thanks !

Erkhyan on 2011-06-04 20:43

I agree with Magibon. I've been using ToYcon since version 0.8 and it still has to fail me.
