The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

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

Fwiw, re Github uploads, by default during the upload process (at least when using the web interface) Github asks you to select a license type and after the repository (the place where the code is hosted) has been created automatically modifies the copyright of the license to the username uploading ...

My rationale for adding it now is the presence of some recent, high profile security issues that affected a very broad range of software and architectures (e.g. Meltdown and Spectre). There hasn't been an update to the program in 2.5 years and it's unlikely that the old version of Opera somehow esc...

Found a good use for it recently with some noisy lower-light photos. The Dfine 2 noise reduction is superb and allows for both automatic noise pattern detection and manual control points with individual settings, higher quality than other noise reduction filters I've used. Also as a follow up the in...

AFAIK, our install steps are still valid, and the main reason why we recommend extracting the installer is that doing so avoids running it.

Well that was quick, thanks. So both are valid.
