Incorrectly downloads files bigger than 4 GB. For example, if you have 5 GB file, it downloads only some 1 GB. And the speed isn't that fast. I think, that's why the author discontinued it.

Love the simplicity, ease of use, familiar look and feel, but the program doesn't reconnect when there's a connection problem (I have a bad one) so I'm constantly restarting the program. |
On-Screen Keyboard Portable works in the absence of a physical keyboard and makes it easy to access a built-in on-screen keyboard on any system you come across. It remembers your settings for sound, select by hover or click, always on top, layout and more. For earlier operating systems that lack a built-in on-screen keyboard (Windows 95/98/Me) it includes a simple virtual keyboard that, while lighter on accessibility features, is still useful.

VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility. It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is great for video capture and transcoding via third-party video codecs. It can also read MPEG-1 video files by default but requires Plugins Pack to open more types of video (adds FLIC, FLV, Matroska, MPEG-2, AC-3 and WMV).
VirtualDub Portable is a PortableApps.com format wrapper for VirtualDub. Alternatively, X-VirtualDub is also available.

@Joe: Try to edit the "VirtualDubPortable.ini" file from the "VirtualDubPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher" folder by commenting/removing the following line: "ProgramExecutable64=VirtualDub64\VeeDub64.exe".

Excellent program. You can highlight a few important time zones but gives easy access if you want to check somewhere else on the map. Outstanding if you do a lot of international work and need to keep track of time in many different places across the globe. |
Portable Application Launcher (archived) organizes shortcuts into groups and categories. It's accessed via the system tray or user-defined hotkeys. Several styles and some languages are included. It can also be used as a portable desktop. PAL is capable of automatically installing PortableApps.com Format (PAF) applications, as well as many entries here on PortableFreeware. An included browser for downloading apps can be used with Universal Extractor and a simplistic updater module.
The program includes several extras not included in other launcher programs including favorites bar, "most-used apps" menu, file manager & search, simple RSS & iCal readers, timer, and more.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).
Note: Main site currently offline. Linking to Softpedia (thanks Baas).

This is THE BEST portable launcher I have found so far with tons of features and customizations. Sadly, it looks like development has been discontinued. The website is down and there hasn't been an update since long :( |

Nice util!!! However it overwrites my DBF file (i.e. it still works, but the file is not identical to what it was before opening it with DBF Viewer Plus). If I set the DBF file to read-only, it says "access denied", and won't open it. That's not really acceptable in my book!!! |

Any chance someone is working on an Offline app for ChromeOS? Been using Password Gorilla for years and appreciate the development community for the open source and cross-platform work so far. A big thank you!

WaveShop is a fast and lightweight audio editor, which despite its name supports lots of different audio file formats, including MP3, FLAC, OGG/Vorbis, and AAC/MP4. The program is bit-perfect, meaning uncompressed audio samples aren't altered unless they need to be; editing a portion of an audio file only affects that portion and the rest of the file remains untouched. Cut and pasted audio blocks won't modify their contents. This is especially useful for patching a finished master without corrupting its dither. Other features include unlimited undo, peak and RMS analysis, normalizing, fading, audio generation, and more.
Note that the author recommends running the 64-bit version (if you have 64-bit Windows) as it can load bigger files without running out of memory.
Alternatively, WaveShop Portable automatically switches between 32 & 64-bit and portablizes paths. X-WaveShop is also available.
