The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

As there aren't many options to portabilize Windows firewall management (e.g., see discussion at https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16917), and in the prospect of automating tasks, I think a mention of Gammadyne's command line tool ' FIREWALL.EXE ' is in order here (check http:/...

Gora (& Ricktendo continued up to 1.7.9.95Y) and LonerD (up to DreamLair 2.1.1) a.f.a.i.k. they seemed to enter a clone war (? why Gora withdrew further changes) both did not generally make their code changes openly obvious, however their "bin" changes were normally visible to the pub...

Thanks to you, eagle eye...

I noticed that when DropIT moves files it changes the permissions such that the user account cant do anything. This isnt a bit g problem because the account that moved the file can still access it but why does it change the permissions to begin with and can this be changed? I just noticed that you ...

Old topic update: the present one is now PlainEdit ( https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1357 ) official forum topic -- please note that currently TPFC's entry lists non-DotNET PlainEdit v1.7.6.1, while the homesite only displays the DotNET PlainEdit (v1.4.2); the download is correct, though. The P...

Just posted about Airfox at http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... 658#p74658.

Another ongoing Firefox forked build is Firefox Ultimate (http://sourceforge.net/projects/firefoxultimate/)...

Got it. Fine by me.

Would prefer if SPSbuilder could be a full blown stand alone package manager -- but, hey, I take whatever I can get.

Yet another Firefox sprout: Airfox is a DotNET v2.0 implementation of the Gecko engine, meant for enhanced lightweightness (untested!). I'm assuming that apart form the DotNET dependency, portability will be pretty much similar to other *fox variations... Airfox is the only browser that has a modern...

GFXplorer is another single executable system info utility, now offering compatibility with DirectX 11.2, and displaying hard-drives following the " \\.\DEVICENAME " scheme; it also provides easy access to relevant technical features of Windows. I haven't tested it for stealth, but as GFX...

Don't know if it's still needed or even if it fits the bill (I haven't tested it!), but I felt like mentioning free M4A to MP3 here... M4A to MP3 is a free audio converting software to convert M4A/AAC audio (*.m4a;*.aac;*.m4r;*.m4b;*.mp4;*.3gp) to normal MP3 audio files (*.mp3). It supports batch co...

Newcomer Fossdroid might be worth a look, too: http://fossdroid.com/...

MusicBee v2.4.5404 released (changelog is at http://getmusicbee.com/release_notes.html).

FYI, a Ghacks.net review is at www.ghacks.net /2015/04/21/musicbee-review-the-ultimate-music-player/.

Changed links yet again, following user billon information (see www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1819#comment27383)...

Also, the "Suggested by" field seems wrong. @ EL_DeLino : entries in the database usually get the " Suggested by " member name from the first mention in the forums (should it exist), not from the poster... corrected. BTW, Ghacks.net recently reviewed freeware uninstallers ( Geek...

Nice find, smaragdus. Blues Media Player ( BMP ) looks like an excellent general purpose media player with a slew of customization options. 8) Niggles I found during the briefest of tests: I have no idea how to open the " Radio " player (see screenshot below), other than giving BMP a worki...
