The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Looks very easy to use. Any other impressions in comparison to uTorrent? Similar to you I use an old version of uTorrent (though on a Mac) and wondered what, for example, this would need to make you switch. On the Mac version at least uTorrent's settings window is also rather lean.

Anyone know if there's an icon cache specific to Everything? I updated an icon for a filetype, refreshed the IconCache.db in Windows, and after a restart Windows itself is using the new icons but not Everything. Tried rebuilding Everything's database but no luck. Edit: exiting Everything then openin...

Russian roulette with Windows updates When I read such stuff I always smile, I even gloat, the idiots fully deserve what they chose to get. Not gonna lie I too gloat a little, though mostly when it's from users who'd previously argue incessantly that W10 was the 'best Windows ever'... even despite ...

Practical case to highlight what we're talking about here: Arora browser (first mentioned by SimonT at https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19027#p19027). Why can't a browser look and feel this lightweight? (Granted that memory footprint is for a single window/page with nothing o...

I remember playing this back in 2002. Not so much a looker but the premise is simple and engaging enough.

The SVG conversion in particular piqued my curiosity, since the format can contain complex formatting, CSS, animations and even literal HTML elements. Took Converseen for a whirl and it had some rather odd rendering for SVGs of complexity I tested—which wasn't unexpected, as you'd honestly need an u...

Ever since the ancient demise of Gigaget (and of the Flashgot Firefox extension more recently) I have been pretty unsatisfied with GUI download managers so I resorted to CLI downloaders like Wget . But it is hard to effectively integrate that with modern browsers -- let's see if HTTP Downloader can...

Can you give some more info on that please? I've tried to google some info but the only video I've found useful was not deatiled enough. So I need some more help since it is my first time actually making an animation instead of simple editing. Wouldn't be able to help there since I don't use it per...

I would have thought After Effects was perfect for this, unless I'm just unwittingly falling for a spam topic.

*snip* You make some decent points though I'll mention as a counter-example that Opera supported its legacy Presto addons for years after its own transition. It did this by hiding the Presto addons sometime after from their addon catalog search results but retaining the original pages, able to be f...

The maintenance effort is mostly reviewing the extensions (as well as updates) in order to avoid malicious extensions. The effort depends on how much updates XUL extensions are getting, not from how many people download them. Should have clarified my comment as it was mostly based on the response t...

Figured this could use its own topic. Mozilla have announced in a new blog post that come September 6th they'll be stopping all submissions for XUL addons, the type of addons compatible with versions of Firefox prior to v57 (the current version is v61, aka 'Quantum'). Soon after they'll be removing ...

I think the "Popular titles" and webfork's Top 10 list are totally different beasts. The former is more dynamic and algorithmic, while the latter is a more curated affair. Totally different perspective, I feel... Right, yeah. What I wondered though is whether the curated top 10 would change over ti...

Just curious, would this be an ongoing, periodically updated list? As I'm wondering, if the goal is to highlight hidden gems and work from standout devs vs the programs seen, say, in the Popular list it would seem to me beneficial to refresh from time to time the recommendations to give other progra...

Status: not at all portable. Writes settings all over the place, automatically sets itself as the default graphics viewer.

Glad you took one for the team and not me :p
