Thanks smaragdus :)

Doesn't run for me on Win10. Launches, locks up and I have to force close to get rid of it. That's from a clean run.

guess thats an advantage, if theres any, of using adaware.

doudoudidou on 2012-08-06 10:24

I use LiberKey for years and I never had any problems. This platform is currently the best. There are jealous ...

smaragdus on 2016-07-31 23:13

I did a brief testing of LiberKey version 5.8.1129 (only the launcher, not the suite) and my first impressions are very good- it is a well-designed, flexible, solid program with a nice set of features.

The program is open source under the GPL v2 now.

DMcsvEditor

This is a very poor excuse for a CSV utility..:-(

Takes ages (25 sec) to load a 2,000 rows csv file
Colum sort does get stuck, etc..
....and the current download link is broken anyway, probably for the better
(Softpedia still maintains a working link to the culprit, would anyone really insist...)

My advice: stay well clear of DMcsvEditor, and stick with the real McCoy's instead :

Still with good ol' GeoShell here!

Though not portable or updated, it is a minimalist's dream!

ChemZ on 2011-06-04 21:21

I know Emerge Desktop is also minimalist if you want, but the different applets/modules eats up too much memory for my taste.

GeoShell by itself uses 'round 5 megs of RAM, total usage is about 15 megs (with WinShellEx).

Yes sandman, I created the portable.xml, I do read :-)

Also, if anybody is still interested, I've tracked down the (hopefully) original example configuration file to this address: https://gist.github.com/JackieKu/437200

TP109 on 2015-11-03 07:31

@webb. Good work and interesting points made by yourself and the developer. Now we know why no documentation exists on SF. More might use this if a detailed overview was available describing what it does and its usefulness compared to similar apps.

Midas on 2015-11-03 15:11

@webb: excellent work!

Would it too much to ask you to repost the author's reply to KuShellExtension official forum topic -- which I have just added?

BTW, author's binary repo includes both 32 and 64-bit Mingw and VC2013 versions, up to release #37 (dated 2014-05-27)...

@Midas: Thank you for the suggestion.
Feel free to move, do anything you deem necessary with my post.
I don't want to cause havoc (myself) in the organization of the TPFC web site, by moving things around .... I'd rather let other people do it :>}

Midas on 2024-01-13 20:19

So sorry but I can't. My privileges extend only as far as the forums, only Andrew can touch the rest of TPFC's site...

jenss on 2024-01-14 02:24

website for mp3gain is wrong. It can no longer be obtained from PortableApps.com because they now use wxmp3gain.
website is
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3gain/
download is
