Alternatives to CCleaner

Motivated by concerns over CCleaner's possible privacy issues (those issues magnified tenfold by the constant nag pop-ups) I've investigated alternatives for two of its functions: a. Cleanmgr+ (https://www.mirinsoft.com/cleanmgrplus) seems to have all the good features (and more) of both CCleaner an...

Re: Gnumeric - the Gnome Office spreadsheet

Update: to troubleshoot, I tried installing portable gnumeric to a folder (G:\gnumeric\) on a hard drive, instead of on a USB stick. It launches normally! Will investigate further what might be the problem. Possibly a paths issue; I've had similar random bizarre path-related problems before. The pat...

Re: Gnumeric - the Gnome Office spreadsheet

My gnumeric folder reports itself as being 53,153,797 bytes (596 files, 248 folders), so it looks complete.

Thanks for sticking with me on this; it'd be good to solve the issue!

Re: Gnumeric - the Gnome Office spreadsheet

Thanks, joby_toss, but that doesn't solve the problem either. I have also tried to launch the app on a different PC (running Win 7 Pro), but get the same result. I suspect there is some undeclared dependency necessary for gnumeric to run, which is on neither of those PCs. An MS VC++ Redistributable,...

Re: Gnumeric - the Gnome Office spreadsheet

Hi, joby_toss, thanks for the reply. However, have tried Language=en (or en_GB) in both sections of the default .ini file, still get the empty boxes. Clearly, Gnumeric isn't picking up my locale info. How to solve? Is there a command line switch? The default install apparently has language files in ...

Re: Gnumeric - the Gnome Office spreadsheet

Help! How do you get it to display text? Installed PortableApps v1.12.17, trying to run it on a Win 7 Home Premium PC (en_GB), just get blank boxes where characters should be:

SterJo NetStalker

SterJo NetStalker seems to be an almost unique app, a portable firewall, fully configurable with regard to inbound TCP connections, and with pop-up dialogs to trust (or otherwise) outbound connections.

It does (rather well!) what it says on the tin: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2510
