Locate32 v3.1.11.7100

webfork on 2 May 2016
  • 3MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 15 Aug 2012
  • Suggested by freakazoid

Locate32 is an indexing search tool that allows you to find files on local and Windows networking-compatible remote shares. After an initial search of shares, it uses database to provide instant for any number of files and folders. Searches can be set on a variety of criterion including date, size, extension, files/folders, etc.

Note that the databases must be updated to give accurate information. You can customize places to search and frequency of each update (e.g. your desktop hourly, your backup drive weekly). Some file types' contents can be searched including most MS Office file formats, but only some PDFs and image metadata.

I think that:
"2. Follow these instructions to make Locate32 portable" point at non-existent thread. I suppose that the right thread which explains how to make Locate32 portable is this one:

Nice util!!! However it overwrites my DBF file (i.e. it still works, but the file is not identical to what it was before opening it with DBF Viewer Plus). If I set the DBF file to read-only, it says "access denied", and won't open it. That's not really acceptable in my book!!!

Very good software, a bit easier then file monitor by sysinternals. Easy to understand

smaragdus on 2016-06-23 23:34

I think that the instructions are outdated:
Moo0 File Monitor version 1.11 automatically saves "SaveData.xml" inside "savedata" folder on first run.

Floola deleted all of my music off my iPod, and now it won't even open. I'm using a Korean computer that won't download iTunes properly, so could that be a problem? Is there any way to get my music back?

Gigi:You'll probably want to look at or post to Floola's forum for help with that: http://www.floola.com/home/myforum/

The homepage mentions a version for use with an iPod and one just for use on a PC.

This made digging through a boatload of images I'd built up SO much easier. There's just no other way to navigate thousands of icon files. It almost forms a kind of catalog so I have a clear idea of what's available.

World Clock Portable v8.0

webfork on 30 Jul 2017
  • 9MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 9 Nov 2013
  • Suggested by Lyon11111

World Clock is a multi-time zone map-based clock that can show you the time around the world. World Clock has an easy to use interface letting you select up to 8 different time zones to display. You can select using the map directly or look up city and country names on each continent. An optional solar terminator and flags over selected countries are also available.

World Clock Portable is a version of the software packaged in the PortableApps.com format.

How to extract: Download the self-extracting EXE and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch WorldClockPortable.exe.
What's new?
  • Added a button to the Control Panel for users to change the digital clock's 12-hour format for 24-hour format and vice-versa, as requested by many users. This is a major feature as the programming involved to do it was considerable.
  • Corrected a bug in Solar Terminator, one that prevented it from being disabled and saved as a preference.
  • Solar Terminator shape was reverted back to previous shape, as requested by many users. The current shape will not be changed any more due to requests, as this shape is the one most users prefer. This Solar Terminator shape is extremely accurate, but, for your information, is not 100% accurate, because it is impossible to calculate, predict and display the real Solar Terminator shape caused by the sun; however, it is close enough.
  • Implemented Solar Terminator, City Markers, City Flags and Digital Clock Format (12-hour and/or 24-hour format) to the Embed Tag feature, which means these features four features will be automatically included in the automatic generation of the embed tag according to the current user's preferences.
  • Reduced the month's name from, for example, "October 18, 2013" to "Oct 18, 2013", in order to save space in the Time Zone Window, because some month names are bigger than others.
  • Corrected a design issue in the desktop versions for PC and Mac, caused by Adobe Flash Player itself, which created space not used by World Clock and in another color different from the World Clock's default theme - Blue Theme. Now the Blue Theme has the same blue background color within the entire window's background.
  • Added several improvements to design, code and performance.

Excellent program. You can highlight a few important time zones but gives easy access if you want to check somewhere else on the map. Outstanding if you do a lot of international work and need to keep track of time in many different places across the globe.

@PAFuser: it's unfortunate what some people think is obsolete. There are a whole lot of very old programs on my machine that still do a way better job than available alternatives.

PAFuser on 2017-06-29 19:30

I do not disagree, I still use Excel 2003, and it took some work to get it to work correctly on Windows 10 - 64 bit. If program is all you need and works, great. SE-Explorer zip contains SE-MediaPlayer, does not work. Context menu limited to SE-Explorer list, unlike FreeCommanderXE, etc. which include context items added to Windows menu. Future development might have changed this.

brickablesmile: presence of adware confirmed (and entry edited), but every source I've read indicates that the user is prompted. Please post in forums if that's changed.

It's possible to extract the installer, entry updated.

Midas on 2013-09-13 08:57

Glad to see Audiograbber is still around, as it was the first trustworthy CD ripper I ever used, back in the 90's... :)

It was only deprecated when I discovered bit accurate Exact Audio Copy (not portable, but there are portabilized versions floating around the Web).

Duplicati v1.3.4

lwc on 5 May 2023
  • 24MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 2 Feb 2013
  • Suggested by procyon

Duplicati is a feature-rich backup client that allows user store compressed, encrypted (AES-256 or GPG) backups locally or on a variety of remote services. The program can save bandwidth and disk writes by only backing up the parts of a file that have changed since the last backup. It can backup open/running programs, on demand or scheduled, and can run in the background with bandwidth and process priority limits to avoid interfering with other applications. Includes support for backups to Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH and FTP.

Note: As portable software, it necessarily does not run at system startup so the available scheduling tools cannot function unless the program is actually running. To manually run a backup, just start the wizard and select "Run a backup immediately".

Cross platform (Mac/Linux) with available command-line tools.
