I am Baas's favorites (369)

Bummer, the new dark theme doesn't work with Windows 8.1 :(

Requires Chrome/Chromium browsers to access home page

Hello, could someone tell me what the differences are with Process Hacker?
Thank you !

Here is an old (2006) but interesting narrative about using Bintext for viewing Unicode strings in executables.

http://blog.didierstevens.com/2006/07/07/viewing-strings-in-executables/

BinText at your finger_tip: (WinXP tested)

Place a shortcut to Bintext in your Windows SendTo folder so that you can quickly send files to BinText by right-clicking on their names and choosing Send To -> BinText from the drop-down menu.

You can set this up by right-clicking on bintext.exe, selecting Copy then open up your WindowsSendTo folder, right click the mouse and select Paste Shortcut

As an added bonus, files get automatically loaded in BinText "Advanced view" mode, no need even for clicking the GO button...;-)

Though v. 13.93 is available here, at Portable Freeware, the MS site only has v. 13.91 . Is this version again being recalled by MS?

It doesn't work on XP anymore

schemer > Stick with the older (pre-Microsoft) versions if you have them. The file-sizes on these newer ones are substancially larger...

Oh, come on—2.8 MB is "large"? Is this the '90s again? :?)

Ditto,I lost my regedit favorites and my address book,be careful with this app and make a restore point first!

This utility really does a great job, and removes many useless files and registry entries in the process. It is missing one key element, however (in my opinion) and that is to allow the user to preview the scan results before committing and executing. Yes, you can set it to create a backup point, but that does not replace the ability for experienced users to see what is about to be cleaned prior to execution. One more small issue is there is no way to set 'Close' to mean exactly that. Close now pops the app to the taskbar, and that is not what I expect 'Close' to do. Give the user the option of having the app truly close.

So far No Problems. But Nothing running installed other than OS, & Office.

There are a lot of great ways to compress files and folders quickly and easily, but most people are only familiar with ZIP. PeaExtractor's broad support means that it frees us up to send the latest and best compression formats without wondering if the recipient will have difficulty opening it.

For the life of me I can't find any links to download latest artifacts (as it's called) in github's action page of this project. Any help, please?

Super usefull, I really recommend following the tutorial to learn all it's great functions. As of today, binaries are available at: https://strlen.com/treesheets/

Thanks to the author and portablefreeware.com

The best of many others. I recommend for sure. Thanks a lot.

Has anyone found a way to auto mark feeds or articles as read? In most other readers, there is an option to mark as read when you navigate away from the feed

Mixture, sorry for the late reply. Thanks. :)

fyi new website
"PasswordSafe's official website is now at https://pwsafe.org/ "

This version does not run on XP. The last version that did is 3.38.02, which can be accessed from sourceforge through the download page on the pwsafe.org site. There was some suggestion last year that 3.40 might be fixed to run on XP, but not so far, it seems

Hi guys. I am a developer of this free tool. Let me clarify the 'hard drive' recovery. The software is able to restore accidentally deleted files from built-in hard disk drives as long as two the following conditions are met:

1. The file was deleted recently and no writing was made on the volume after that

2. Follows from 1. If you delete a file from a system volume (e.g. C:\), there are little chances to restore it because the OS is constantly writing on this volume (logs, registry branches, etc).

Excellent product. Recovered two files from flash memory. Simple and efficient, and no installation

Odd The download says it is Version V1.2.0.0
but its size is 387KB. why? I have a 2009 copy
of V1.2.0.0 which is the correct size 272KB.
Andy can you explain. Looks a bit dodgy

RevoUninstaller Portable:
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download_other.html

@Fred, I use Safarp to remove Java updates all the time.

Try "Remove (quiet mode)"; works great.

I generally use Revo (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1398) to make sure files are removed but to get multiple programs off quickly, I use FreeUninstaller (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1350), which has a local and online search, use frequency, website, and other features.

@Ennovy: by services I meant the translation ones inside the app.

Oké, thanks david!

People continued development with the addition of new services
https://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=50987&start=740#3

for me is great, but PNG or BMP support will be nice

very easy intuitive fast and clear program, i autoboot it everytime

Really glad I tried this, usually I use fascapture, but this has some great features over it. Like others have said an ability to be able to save captures as pdf would be nice, but hardly essential. There are other programs on here to convert images to pdf.

this is indeed a very robust renamer!

im torn between this and Advanced Renamer :(
http://www.portablefreeware.com./index.php?id=1848

both are great, coming from payware 'Better File Renamer', both these freeware offer every naming scheme/option!

this seems to provide more support for multi-languages.
i will probably make the switch to this.

great add.!

i take that back, i just tried using this and im disappointed in the interface.

sadly, the abundance of features make it very difficult to use.

im sticking with Advanced Renamer, while it doesn't provide support for multilanguages, it's interface is much more user-friendly. simplicity and ease of use for me is important.

i'll use this only when required for multilanguages, but for everyday usage, im sticking with Advanced Renamer.

I tried to use latest zip (8.4), could not do anything. There was no option to add rules. May be something is wrong with the UI or it does not support Windows 8.1 N version.

v5.20 (2016-02-09) released !

Very nice, this software will give all the info you could ever want, at least 4me :)Thanks to the maker for all the hard work to bring us this FREE software to use.
MIKLO

From version 7 (2021-03-09) there are more licenses:
HWINFO 32 and DOS is freeware
HWINFO64 is freeware for personal and non-commercial use - for other uses there is the HWINFO64Pro version
see: https://www.hwinfo.com/download/ or https://www.hwinfo.com/version-history/

this reminds me alot of "the word" but a lot lighter I think
and I really like the Hymns Audio folder..nice touch.

This is a very useful program, but I prefer to use online services. If you are interested, then here is an online analog https://papersowl.com/free-plagiarism-checker With this, you can check the uniqueness of the text in the document or on any web page. But in Bible Analyzer, the functionality is much wider. I recommend making a choice according to your needs.

Download link broken...

I strongly suppose that, every time you enter a search, this program will connect not only to the Longman database but will also establish connections either to Google or Amazon (the two biggest tracking firms this poor, abused globe has ever seen). The website with the pure online version doesn't even load if I block Amazon. If someone else tests it and finds out that it doesn't connect either to Google or Amazon, I will download it. :-)

Doesn`t work half the time, keeps saying the epub file is corrupt. Yet, they open in Sumatra and just about any other epub viewer with no issues.

Anyone know security-wise if this is still worth using? It's now been more than two years without an update and I wonder what the risk to using it is, vs say Adobe Reader with its never-ending vulnerabilities.

@Specular: I think if you're asking a question like that, it's probably wise to use an updated viewer. There have been a few PDF vulnerabilities over the past year, but I think you have to enable various Adobe-only extras that I don't think STDU has in it's program.

DPC Latency Checker is a must have in any computer debugging toolkit for its ability to highlight arcane system problems; it won't fix them, but will assert their existence beyond reasonable doubt.

From the webpage: "DPC Latency Checker is a Windows tool that analyses the capabilities of a computer system to handle real-time data streams properly. It may help to find the cause for interruptions in real-time audio and video streams, also known as drop-outs."

The instructions say:
"Run jcpicker.exe /ini and then close the program"
How do you Run that? In the folder there is an exe and an ini file, but not an exe /ini.

Type '[Windows key]+R', drag and drop 'jcpicker.exe' into the "Run" dialog, edit the the character string you just placed in the "Open" field, adding " /ini" at the end, click the "OK" button and presto... it's called a "Command Line Parameter".

FYI, older versions still available, check forum topic.

it is version 7.0 right now, is portable and free
great viewer, fast and lite. some good lossless transformations
use it as is, support is dead.
take care, thumbnail database is not big enough, optimisation of thumbnail database will clear most thumbs. resizing thumbnails will clear all database so using Tag section is completly useless. (tags are saved on thumbnail database)
Still one of top 3 in my image viewers.
it use SageThumbs https://sourceforge.net/projects/sagethumbs/
to manage .eps files

I fully agree with Miklo, having used FastStone for several years, I really like it: does everything I want almost intuitively.I still use version 6.4 . Tried to use the last version 7.6 but reversed to the previous one because in the last release there is a bug in the Multi-Page File Builder to created an Animated GIF (Alt+M):. the resulting GIF file shows only the first 2 loaded images then stops.

GifCam v5.5 ßeta 5-JAN-2018 is out (new version since v5.1 OCT2015)
http://blog.bahraniapps.com/

As first mentioned by hamasaki
https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=88941#p88941

GifCam v.55 changelog:
- Automatically detects and set transparent/greenscreen color
- Option for saving “setting.ini” in the same gifcam directory
- GifCam 5.5 can access/use 4GB address space on 64 bit computers
- Accurate pixel perfect recording area calculations
- Fixed “recording outside area” & “black border” for some high-res displays
- Supports dropping gif file on the main GifCam window to open it.

Updated to version 7.0 (2022-06-02, 2022, June, 2nd)
Changelog:
- Quantize Windows Color Reduction: Reduce to an optimal 256 color Windows palette. It’s slow encoding, but in some cases it gives better color-matching than quantize.
- Option for global CTRL+R shortcut key for rec/stop.
- Option for saving last position: If this option is not checked, the gifcam app will open in the center of the desktop.
- Auto-space between frames and delay labels regardless of system font size.
- Fixed Windows XP right click menu.
- Some other bug fixes.

Belatedly discovered a Gifcam quirk in the Win XP version...:-(
(XP buttons regrettably lack the side arrow ▼ included in Win7 version):

• Right-clicking "Rec" button opens a keyboard shortcuts list
• Right-clicking "Save" button opens an options + "about" list

BifDefender doesn't like it, says the download zip is dangerous. False positive.

@hamasaki: the issue has been bugging the developer for years...

See "Does TinyTask have malware?" (https://www.tinytask.net/faq.php)

@Midas. Thanks. It's ok, it's just the first time I've seen it and I've used BitDefender for quite awhile. Of course I took no notice of the warning. :)

Am I msising something? The Devs changelog always says "Some fix". lol.

Tablacus Explorer is very powerful >>> in the way of plugins (see for yourself)

It can be a simple, but very well made, file manager or mid-weight IDE to replace gVIM/Geany (seriously)

If you want a file manager, explorer commander or QDir are very nice, fast & light with good features

BUT if your a "power user"..YOU WANT THIS APP

@PapaiMark: as there is both a changelog link and a dedicated forum thread, changes info like what you posted are better suited for the later, thus avoiding drowning any user comments in the steady stream of updates.

Rufus 3.22 is the last version that can run on Windows 7

smaragdus: yes, please do

Thanks to smaragdus. I have made V1.20 available for direct download.

On PortableApps (1.20 Rev. 2):

https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/typertask-portable

Thanks, Mike. Could you mirror it for our general public? www.mirrorcreator.com is one easy resource...

I have copies of both the 32 and 64-bit versions if needed.

@Baas: Yes please. If you can get me a link to something or I can hop on whatever network and you can send them over directly

An excellent and important utility! Using a different (local) text handler for each and every time we input text is a cognetics nightmare which TEA solves quite neatly within our present architecture.
Note: This utility uses the clipboard to move the completed file back to the original location. Anything already on the clipboard is lost in the process.

This is a great program. When I was using multiple editors to get the best of each (NotePad++, LibreOffice, and Dreamweaver), I used this frequently. Also works well with gpg4usb.

It works well as long as you stick to editing your text and refrain from switching to various other apps - to research something for your text etc.

It seems to rely on Alt-Tabbing back to the previously used window to transport your edited text back to where it belongs. This will only work if you had not switched to other programs in the meantime.

@Cattleya: Make sure you download the zip package, because the installer does the following:
"The kernel mode driver used by CPU-Z is installed on the system, that avoids to install / remove it at every run."
The portable version leaves no driver behind, just tested it.

@kc: I used to do sysadmin for a small non-profit org. 7 pc's and 2 printers, no big deal. I carried all my tools on a pendrive. Off course I had admin-rights, but this is a typical scenario a lot of us are in, so it's not entirely useless, portable is the way to go for sysadmins ;)

CPUZ is old, tired and practically useless. It's heyday was about six years ago. Speccy is a must for today.

The customized versions for different board manufacturers (on the home page) are also portable (download the zip package). The customized versions include the manufacturer's logo as a window background and theme.

@webfork: posted "To use WebMail in nPOPuk v2.16, easily" to nPOPuk UpDate forums & re-posting comment replies @Sam & @longtime npop user ; don't know how to edit or delete comments, yet

@Orcus: since it is now duplicated to the forum topic, you could delete that long post of yours by clicking in the garbage bin icon to the right -- after copying and pasting it to an amended new comment with the forum URL, for example...

@xor
Better report your problems at the forum, the developer usually responds to bug reports and other issues. Of course you are not dumb. Did you change the initial location of StackNotes folder- it remembers the location of the last used file.

"This file may contain malware and the automatic download has been disabled."

Message from SourceForge when trying to download.

Software is certified by SoftPedia as beeing "Clean of virus, spywares, adwares". The reason why it was reported as beeing "potentially malicious" at SourceForge was due to the AES encryption command line tool included with the package. This tool is no more distributed with the package and can optionnaly be downloaded from the "AES Crypt" website if needed. You can post questions, requests or discuss anything on the forum here : https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22131.

Another tiny app that is worth its bytes in gold.
Works like a charm and paired with Tomahawk PDF plus, tiny Fotografix and PDFTKBuilder allows final arts on the level of a desktop publishing suite.

This app is so good; I recommended it to others just this morning.

That said, can the download links (and website link) be updated to https://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/i2pdf.shtml, per user shnbwmn? I verified both 32- and 64-bit are still there, but wonder how many people clicked the links, got 404 errors, and moved on.

@Cornflower: done! NOTE2 posted.

HashMyFiles by nirsoft offers both those options BTW. My most frequent use for hashing programs is finding duplicates. Si I'm using HashMyFiles. It also has a add to context menu option.

No change-log yet for v5.00

If anyone needs a 32-bit version of CHK : https://compressme.net/chk360_win32.zip

Thanks to a forum member at encode.

FYI it's not stealth. writes an empty folder and key to registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AnnyStudio\JPEGRotator

:(

Now at version 10.0

I'd rather use Irfanview with their JPEG lossless plugins.

Cool program, ugly though. In case you haven't figured out (it took me a while), the textured bar to the left of the text area is what you grab to move the window.

Every other device (Android, iOS, Mac, etc.) that doesn't have this format calculator just drives me crazy. Writing out the whole problem before calculating is so much better than a single window, single-output view.

ESBCalc (free portable persion) is a good free alternative in my opinion.

http://www.esbconsult.com/esbcalc/esbcalc.htm

v6.6 available, seems to need Win7+

I could have sworn I installed MiniBin correctly for portable use, however months later I saw it created a Start Menu folder. Nothing in the registry, however so it could just be a mistake on my end.

@ smaragdus: MiniBin and MicroBin have been added by ChemZ.
Klick on the little grey "!" (right beside the update date), than scroll down till the bottom and see ;)

There is a typo in the link, which is pointing to a non-existent strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zippip, rather than to strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zip

@ AndTheWolf: Thanks for the info ... and sorry for the typo.

Now at https://www.strokesplus.net/
Changelog: https://www.strokesplus.net/ChangeLog.txt

This looked cool, but its not what I thought it was. the description is (partially) accurate, you can't move icons around via drag and drop, doesn't support custom background images, and only one window.

The download link gives an File Not Found error. There are now two separate zips, one for 32bit and one for 64.

jessharpur: updated, thanks for the note

Program has been renamed from FilePro to TreeMapFs

@AndTheWolf

See http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=78394#p78394

@AndTheWolf thanks!

@Checker: fair enough, let the discrepancy between releases stand... :)

This is the fastest PDF viewer. Awesome for high graphics magagine kind of PDFs. I have a lower mid range laptop. Universal viewer throws sumatra, pdfxcange, foxit out of water when it comes to speed of loading one after another high graphics page. And it's the lightest of all the PDF viewers I have tested, uses minimal CPU unlike others I have mentioned.

Ignore my previous comment. I am an idiot. It actually uses an old version of Sumatra, which was faster and lighter.

Version 1.1.2 does not include 'sigcheck.exe'.

The underlying SysInternals's SIGCHECK utility (CLI) is updated to V2.54 (as of 29-AUG-2016) with the following change :

- fixes a bug that could result in it reporting signed files that have been modified as having a valid signature.

FYI, Sysinternals SigCheck dependency is currently v2.90 released 2022-07-19.

Cool shill!

v3.91

3.94x 64bit only. Screw it)

Very good Software, with only 809 KB and beautiful skins.
User interface that reminiscents orthodox two-panel file manager,
Support for adding folder with it's subfolders, navigate your file system and manage play list.
Support for popular audio formats, and portable.
I Would like to see in futures updates, the possibility to see the Album Art of the file.

I really like the UI. Also lots of options in settings.

The website is still there and provides a good description of the application:
https://hokrain.ru/

But the download button does not work. For that, use Softpedia or
https://web.archive.org/web/20150211165638/https://hokrain.ru/Hokrain.rar

This is currently my go-to program. I tend to add it to the "send to" menu on machines I'm currently using and it works beautifully to check one or more files. Also, the ability to insert the hash directly into the file name makes so much sense. Just drag-and-drop it into the window and instantly know if there's a problem. Great solution to the multi-step check.

I think there is something wrong with the "CRC into Filename" function. This occurs with files that lack a file extension.

shoover: The dev has been pretty responsive if you want to reach out: https://github.com/OV2/RapidCRC-Unicode/issues

Comment above is in relation to its portability. The application functions perfect for its purpose...

1.3.9 beta from August 2017 available

@billon: awesome news, this program only comes up once in a while but it's a huge help. I was wondering if it worked with newer web linking methods.
