The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

no free versions here but maybe the site is related: https://www.wallpapermaster.com btw thread should be moved if the original ZIP version is portable Agreed. But if we can't find a mirror, this might need to stay under the "not portable" thread. Looks like wallpapermaster is by a different group,...

all the responses are from "wise heads" (administrators, etc) I am the only "amateur" in this discussion. Sometimes you get pushback when you're talking from a camp that we don't want to hear from, not because you're wrong or an amateur. I struggled to respond to your post effectively because it se...

It didn't seem to be an issue when I ran my first test, but ongoing use appears to have installed the dropbox program, and it's not easy to remove. I'm recommending against use of DropboxPortableAHK. On a related note, I tried to make a go of Dropbox's collaborative "Paper" editor via web/mobile, an...

You forgot to change the fact that it's stealth, I changed the entry accordingly

I did indeed, thanks.

You must have lived a very privileged and sheltered life lol ... I'm not sure I'd call SSDs and USB 3.0 are far from the property of people who own speedboats and wine cellars. I'd probably have to do some digging to find even a used Chromebook without a USB 3.0 port or an SSD hard drive. Adobe Acr...

BTW I use FileLocator portable and I could not find any registry keys mentioned in earlier posts

Thanks -- I'll retest and update the entry.

A test of both 32 and 64 bit portable installers came up nil -- I have updated the entry and voted. Thanks Ennovoy for the pointer.

Hey so I'm trying to update the entry as the website has gone down but not finding a mirror for the program. Any chance someone out there has a copy of the program?

A cool CLI/TUI EPUB reader I found in a list shared by lintalist (thanks!) is epr . I had not considered that a CLI window could make a good ebook reader, but that makes a lot of sense. If you can customize the fonts and backgrounds a bit (as many tools will), you could have a pretty great reading ...

OT: Somehow Feedbro shows the sunglasses emoticon in your post in an absolutely gigantic size. (It usually renders them very big even normally, but this is whole another level: see the attachment...)

lol - is it somehow pulling the vector-based images? Good lord.

Heheh ... very clever. I really like the font/color choice, as well as the minimize/maximize/close icons in the corner. A subtitle for what the acronym represents might be useful when the site goes live. So "The Portable Freeware Collection Command-Line Interface Collection". --- Edit : Actually now...

I have found on GitHub a CLI scanner and regex extractor. Excellent suggestion. I was trying to sort out a way to go beyond just counting instances of a given term or value. I'm not sure if this will do what I was thinking, but just more tools in the realm of text analysis reports is a great thing.

Also, these preloaders seem to be perfect little things to be - small, free, and portable. So where are they ? I think the technical rationale is that preloaders (which is still present in the installer version of LibreOffice) are something that appears at system startup. So it does part of the lau...

I have backported the bbcode editor from the CLI experimental site. Thanks for that. Can we point to a page that talks about what they are? I can draft something up if needed. Just interested in making new users comfortable. IMHO, it would look better with a line break before all of the text-only b...

Just for the notes, grep binaries for Windows are available via Cygwin as well as via MSYS2 . Also, a "standalone" EXE an be found in UnxUtils . (And, as mentioned above already, BusyBox contains "grep" too. But I think BusyBox' implementation lacks the GNU extensions) Are you me? I don't think dea...
