Any understandable instructions for installing the spell check (portable!)?

Akelpad User on 2011-03-25 15:09

More or less (contributions jmv and yrrah):

There is a lot of room for improvements though.

I suppose every user of this great text editor already know about that, but it is noteworthy that Akelpad supports 19 languages apart from english. Just download the installer and extract your preferred one to AkelFiles>Langs folder.

foobar2000 v1.2.6 Updated

Checker on 4 May 2013

Foobar2000 is an audio player with low memory footprint and native support for most popular audio formats. It includes replay gain, audio normalization, equalization, and more. Play list display and keyboard shortcuts are both very customizable.

The program can edit song tags (album and song name, number, year, etc.) based on the FreeDB Internet database and even rename the original songs based on these tags. A file format conversion tool is available, but must be enabled with external downloads. Can even fix some MP3s with corrupted file headers.

Windows 2000 is no longer supported but users can download the last compatible version: 0.9.4.

Category:
System Requirements: WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
Path portability: Requires manual entry of relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the installer and launch.
  2. Select "Portable installation" and choose the destination folder.
  3. Launch foobar2000.exe.

  • Windows 8 "connected standby" countermeasures:
    - Option to keep display up while playing - seems to be the only way to prevent Windows desktop apps from being shut down while the machine turns idle
  • Fixed misbehavior when updating attached pictures in files with ID3v2.2 tags.
  • ReplayGain tagging now works with AIFF.
  • Fixed crashing when embedding specific picture files into Ogg Vorbis files.
  • Attached picture manager dialog tweaks.

For file tagging I prefer Tag Scanner but the tagging and audio conversion features of foobar2000 are quite convenient and adequate enough most the time I forget about using Tag Scanner.

Comparable to WMP, iTunes and others, The lack of multi-media handling (audio / video / etc) has become it's Achilles hill. But I haven't found a better performing and customizable replacement, so I'm quite happy foobar2000 for the time being.

Some component recommendations:
foo_simplaylist
foo_playcount
foo_facets

@abc: Considering Winamp's video playback quality, perhaps it is preferable to keep foobar2000 as it is...

Process Hacker v2.30 Updated

webfork on 30 Mar 2013

Process Hacker is a feature-packed tool for manipulating processes and services on your computer. Includes a simple, customized tree view, detailed performance graphs, list of network connections, comprehensive process list (including hidden), full control over processes, rootkit termination, and DLL controls.

Category:
System Requirements: WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Settings location is specified by passing the -settings parameter to Process Hacker, together with the full path to the settings file.
Stealth: ? No. The kprocesshacker.sys driver leaves traces in the Registry. To make the program stealth, delete/rename kprocesshacker.sys before launch or start the program with -nokph switch. Note that this will disable some advanced features. Additionally, the update check will leave a trace in Internet Explorer's browser cache. This can be avoided by not checking for updates within the Help menu (there does not appear to be an automatic check).
License: GPLv3
How to extract:
  1. Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice
  2. Create an empty text file named ProcessHacker.exe.settings.xml in the x86 subfolder for 32-bit or x64 for 64-bit
  3. Launch ProcessHacker.exe
Alternatively you can use a BAT launcher kindly contributed by a. It automatically chooses between 32 and 64-bit versions of Process Hacker and disables the KProcessHacker driver by default.
Similar/alternative apps: DTaskManager, Daphne
What's new? New and Improved:
* Added "Icon click toggles visibility" option
* Re-enabled powerful process termination on 32-bit Windows 8
* Updated UserNotes plugin:
- Added ability to save process priority
- Added "Only for processes with the same command line" option for process comments
Fixed:
* Fixed crash on CPUs without SSE2

Cause it is a delthi and you can't make the process hacker works untill you install it and when go to c:\program files and copy process hacker 2 folder and data from appdata if you can't find or do not know how to find this place so you can download everything program and then you can find it just type in the search box process hacker and that's it :)
Happy making protables ;)
if you wannt make it hide all source codes from users you can make it with winrar :D
and make it more professional app.

Love the "Disk" tab -- frequently when there's a computer slowdown and it's clearly not a processor issue, it's because the hard drive is read/writing some crazy amount of data from antivirus to some background maintenance. Very useful to see what's going on under the hood.

Is it stealth??

I am Baas on 2013-01-16 23:47

The system has detected a repeted question. This demonstrates a moronic behavior that is uncommon for an intelligent human being. We will now proceed to verify it is really one of those xxxxxx persons posting the question, and not a robot.

I wish CarotDAV would be made compatible with Amazon Cloud Drive.

Just sayin'... ;)

Doesn't recognize a ton of forms, making it not very useful.

This app is fits the bill when coding C/C++/Asm windows with Visual Studio Express.

Turning off Auto Check Update prevents it from going online.

Uses png with transparency on image files.

On Windows XP this program completely clears out my recent documents list in the registry and the shortcuts folder.
