The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Although I am not a user of Calibre myself, I thank you for the info and for the continued support of Windows 7 users, JohnTHaller . :pray: You're welcome. I try to make sure as many people can use stuff as possible for as long as possible. Same reason I do the dual mode apps with the last 32-bit v...

AndTheWolf reports ( www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2119#comment31126 ) that in versions newer than v3.48, Calibre no longer supports Windows 7. It's a first, at least for me... :unamused: The current 4.21.0 release does run on a clean Windows 7 install fully updated with no other apps/libra...

This article focuses on PGP because security or whatever, but I'm more interested in the various other items including dark mode, calendar and tasks integration, and new compose window. You can try out the new features using the Thunderbird Portable Test channel, which packages the 78.0 release. It...

We also released Folding @ home last week, which has COVID-19 work units as well: https://portableapps.com/news/2020-04-0 ... 1-released

Just wanted to update this thread and say that Seamonkey 2.53.1 was released about a month ago, but the PA.com version is still on 2.49.5. The update is coming shortly. The Seamonkey launcher needs to be reworked and tested to handle Mozilla's proprietary mzla format the way the recent releases of ...

I want to report that portablefreeware forum login is not working in Firefox 52 and below firefox based other browsers. It's failing in Firefox 74 as well, even with uBlock and Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection disabled. You'll need to clear all portablefreeware.com and www.portablefreeware.com ...

CDex 1.7.0 was the last open source version. The source code was removed in 2015. We still have it available for download here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portab ... urce/CDEx/

You can still download CDex Portable 1.7 as well as a complete package.

The bits considered as malicious are a part of the installer. CDex Portable will download the installer and extract the files, protecting you from the bundleware. It may still trigger your antivirus even though the installer isn't run. The files within the installer itself are verified clean before ...

Windows offers dedicated defragmentation functions for software developers

And these are not subject to change?

When there are changes, they're nearly always backwards compatible. That's why jkDefrag still works fine.

Unfortunately, I think this sort of thing will keep happening. That's one reason we scan all the apps we release and hash them, comparing the hash to the download on the user's end. That way even if the publisher gets hacked, the PA.c Platform will refuse to run the installer. Fun fact: At least two...

For folks who'd like it automated, I added dfgPortable, an automatic portable installer for Defraggler: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/dfgportable

Can't we keep "the last portable version"? They don't seem to be getting any attention anyway, so they might as well be the last actual versions.

Redistribution of most Piriform apps is prohibited by the license agreement.

Supposedly there is a portable version here: https://portapps.io/apps/ Many of the programs here aren`t really portable. When I ran brave it created a load of directories in the appData folder, but when I deleted them they didn`t come back. So, could be portable, not sure. The programs here use Yam...

In AppData, I get the folders Local\Thunderbird\updates and Roaming\Thunderbird\Pending Pings. I use the following add-ons: Lightning, Manually Sort Folders, ImportExportTools. Thunderbird Portable is located on a different partition than the system (and AppData). I never had an installed version o...

You can use the built in updater but it will leave some empty folders behind on the local machine. The best thing to do is update the whole app. This is automatic and super-easy with the PortableApps.com Platform and takes just a handful of steps without it: https://portableapps.com/support/portable...
