guinness's favorites (641)

The menu system is a little odd but it's got a lot of cool functionality and tweaks for a small zoom program.

Now at version 4.88

Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice.
Create an empty file "OneLoupe.ini"
(otherwise it will be created in the user profile folder)
Launch OneLoupe.exe (Win 98-NT), OneLoupe_uc.exe or OneLoupe_x64.exe.

@ smaragdus: First mentioned by malikorx69 [07 Feb 2008], so this is the forum topic.
guinness post is dated [09 Nov 2009].
I agree to merge the two, but malikorx69's should be first!

CrystalDiskinfo should not be listed under Similar/alternative apps for CrystalDiskMark. CrystalLDiskMark benchmarks, whereas CrystalDiskinfo supplies a lot of disk information, but does NOT benchmark.

A remarkable number of commercial disks are benchmarked using this tool. It's a must-have for comparing hardware performance.

It works but its not the most user friendly app I've ever seen, but 2B fair it did change my file time with a little experimenting.

So why it suddently write to appdata roaming too??

"So why it suddently write to appdata roaming too??"

Notices this too, so it's not portable?

Works as adverised,at least it does not claim to fix dead pixels,I like it!(found 1 dead pixel)BooHoo

Win 10 x64:
It doesn't delete cookies.

Belatedly noticed the "Quick-Filter" option introduced since v1.35,
very handy time-saving feature when trying to locate and eradicate
multiple pesky ads cookies in one fell swoop.

v1.50
Zapping obnoxious cookies summarily:

   C:\>ChromeCookiesView /DeleteCookies ".offendingsite.com"

Instant gratification via CLI...;-)

Gets worse with every update. Locks up and freezes half the time when trying to use emoticons.

Great app! I use this regularly for my language classes.

I'm having a lot of problems with this program on Win7x64. It won't minimize, it won't close unless you do an "End Task" in Task Manager, and it doesn't remember me between sessions. Anyone else having issues?

Is the description of "How to extract" still valid? I ask because a lot has changed with the structure of directories and files.

@dmocha: I just downloaded the ZIP file for v9.0.1, and it seems the file/dir structure is still pretty much the same, so the extraction instruction should still be valid. Could you provide details on the diffs that you are seeing?

@Andrew Lee: I have no objections. I'm just asking. I remember that quite a long time ago new folders and files arrived, and the procedure is still the same. That's why I'm wondering if it's up to date with these files.
I still follow this procedure and still use the portable version.

Sysinternals' lean Contig.exe v1.8 (248KB) CLI will defrag selected files just as well…;-)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/contig

Bonus point: still behaves under WinXP...;-)

Although a little difficult to figure out, have successfully used this to defragment fragmented .ISO files resulting from an AnyBurn .IMG file conversion.

WRT __philippe post (2018-09-12 08:35) on sysinternals CONTIG v1.8 :

The 64-bit version does not work. The 32-bit works OK.

I lost a lot of time, thought I was doing something wrong.

This is currently my go-to program. I tend to add it to the "send to" menu on machines I'm currently using and it works beautifully to check one or more files. Also, the ability to insert the hash directly into the file name makes so much sense. Just drag-and-drop it into the window and instantly know if there's a problem. Great solution to the multi-step check.

I think there is something wrong with the "CRC into Filename" function. This occurs with files that lack a file extension.

Don't Sleep 7.55 released https://www.softwareok.com/?Download=DontSleep

Does this stop automatic restarts after windows updates?

Settings > Power Options > Power & sleep > Sleep (&/or Screen): select value from 1 min to never.

Neat little harmless program-wish it had skulls and other creepy stuff falling,maybe they could make a halloween version?

It did nothing spectacular for me,but I had my sister in arizona DL it and she went gaga over it!Must be a girl thing!Nice Job.

Kinda cool, would be better if the snow built up a bit on the bottom of the screen.....

@ Ruby: I changed to v0.5.0 again, but added a note.

Fortiguard running on their web server blocks all downloads.

The 32-bit version is still at v1.0.1, but the latest 64-bit version is 2023.12.0
See: https://riot-optimizer.com/download/
and changelog: https://riot-optimizer.com/changelog/

It works excellent with Google Chrome Portable.
just specify the path :
C:\Users\xx u-pc xx\AppData\Local\Temp\GoogleChromePortable\Cache\
Thank you.

@Cattleya: Make sure you download the zip package, because the installer does the following:
"The kernel mode driver used by CPU-Z is installed on the system, that avoids to install / remove it at every run."
The portable version leaves no driver behind, just tested it.

@kc: I used to do sysadmin for a small non-profit org. 7 pc's and 2 printers, no big deal. I carried all my tools on a pendrive. Off course I had admin-rights, but this is a typical scenario a lot of us are in, so it's not entirely useless, portable is the way to go for sysadmins ;)

CPUZ is old, tired and practically useless. It's heyday was about six years ago. Speccy is a must for today.

The customized versions for different board manufacturers (on the home page) are also portable (download the zip package). The customized versions include the manufacturer's logo as a window background and theme.

Use v 2.x on machines older than 2011 (core, core2, quad) to make bootable usb.

@PapaiMark: as there is both a changelog link and a dedicated forum thread, changes info like what you posted are better suited for the later, thus avoiding drowning any user comments in the steady stream of updates.

Rufus 3.22 is the last version that can run on Windows 7

Tested and found to be running fine under winXP. Recommended.

Absolutely terrific software.

@snaphat I am still using all the time, and I still love this app, thanks for your hard work on this product great job dude :)

@graydusts
WOW I was not aware of it.....thanks

@Wolfghost - All our apps have an INI that lets you disable the splash. You can disable them all in the PortableApps.com Platform in the Options window as well. Unless the splash is built into the app itself, of course, like GIMP et al, in which case you need to follow the directions for disabling the splash in the base app.

Ok thanks guys

This is a great tool.

Sure, Outlook can sort or search for e-mails by attachment, but I don't think it can do this across multiple mailboxes.

At work I have my own mailbox but need to access several shared inboxes. When contacts assure me they sent something, a default search in OutlookAttachView looks through every mailbox I have access to, and blindingly fast to boot.

If you have had an end user get mailbox is full notices and they have done EVERYTHING.. This is a great tool to show them that all items are can have attachments. Even their calendar items. Meeting invites are often sent with attachments such a agendas in word format, Power Point presentations and even the occasional picture file. This application scans them and finds them ALL. It has saved my first call resolutions stats.

I love this program. Took me a little bit to figure out how to filter by user (it seems to be visible name, not email address), but it's not hard to use and it's extremely powerful.

[March 25, 2023] v.5.1 High Speed Edition

Significant increase in download speed for large videos (thanks to Dharam for help)

the zip also has a file YouTubeDownloaderHD.ini. so if you blindly unzip, you will lose your 'settings'.

the ini file has a entry AutoCheckUpdates=1 . you may want to set it to zero (manually). not sure how you get to settings from the UI.

Hi,
I use the portable version.
1) Please do not include the fileYouTubeDownloaderHD.ini in the zip. If the user blindly unzipsthe file, he loses the original ini file (and the settings).
I would suggest the program check if the file already exists, if it does not exist then create the default ini file (similar to the one now included in the zip).
2) I noticed AutoCheckUpdates=1 in the inifile. How do I set it to 0 ? I cannot find a settings icon inthe UI.

Hi,
Thanks for feedback!
1. Ok, I updated the portable version.
2. I don’t want to overload GUI with a bunch of options. So you can change ini file with any text editor.

Great app, portable for sure, but also quick and simple, allow to choose/change and detect fast DNS.

My VPN app looks for the "best & fastest" DNS servers so I'm curious to try this software and make a comparison. It’s always good to have more than one source to have an efficient way to run your computer at least that's my opinion.

What a great application. I did loved it so much. And folks here at portablefreeware.com are so helpful. Thanks !!!! =DDD

Both Nirsoft's TCPLogView and Sysinternals' TCPview offer about the same set of functionalities.

However, the alternative Sysinternals' TCPview might have a slight edge in its skilled use of color background for highlighting DYNAMIC TCP connections activities:

It feels nimbler at popping up a log line (on a green background) for each transient new active connections and at briefly flashing an existing log line (on red background) before its connection is torn down.

TCPLogView Version 1.15 released 19-MAR-2105:

Added 'Write To Log File' option. When it's turned on, all log lines are automatically written to TcpLogView.csv located in the same folder of TcpLogView.exe

@__philippe: Thanks ... and updated ;)
