Nice little player. The website has a page with plugins, but it's slightly misleading. The "Qmmp Plugin Pack" download directs to the player itself, and the others require building from source/installed dependencies.

Realist on 2016-10-06 16:25

Why do we another music player and that too which looks like WinAMP?

MIKLO on 2017-01-15 17:15

@Realist, I believe the more we have the better they will all get or they go away, after all competition makes the world go round. I would agree if all are the exact same then it is a waste, but coders usually try and add something more useful that the last version doesn't have. Just my thoughts. :)

webfork: Because it's their preferred portable build. Not everyone will need the full package. The lite / portable build should be sufficient for people building a website for testing locally and on the go.

olliebean on 2018-10-19 14:51

Just for clarification, is the full version portable? Because the only version labelled "portable" at the download link appears to be the lite version, without FTP or Mail.

MultiPar helps protect backups and transfers with error detection and recovery. The program looks at information from any number of files and folders to function as insurance against data loss. The program generates companion "PAR" files that are built from a percentage of the originals, using more space for greater protection (e.g. 10% of the original for already safe methods, 50% for frequent failures).

The program has a wide variety of customizations including format, processor usage, and various other tools available to the standard ###0###PAR format###1###. For backups, it can also choose PAR size by available free space (e.g. saving a 3 gig file to a 4.7 gig DVD will mean generating a 1.7 gig PAR file).

Functional in Linux/Mac via WINE. The program supports multi-threading, multiple processors, can recurse subfolders, and functions with standard formats including PAR, PAR2, and (experimental) PAR3 formats.

Zim can be used to:

###0###
###1###Keep an archive of notes

Highly useful and necessary for machines with limited RAM. Run this in the system tray at all times to continually monitor RAM usage - when things slow down, a quick glance shows why - a couple of clicks to clean the memory and that usually speeds things up again.

  • 82MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 25 May 2021
  • Suggested by vixay

DocFetcher indexes your computer, making the contents of a wide variety of files instantly searchable. Selecting a search result shows a preview of the file with text highlighted and without formatting. You can filter results by location, file type, minimum and/or maximum filesize and more. The program can index Microsoft Office, OpenOffice/LibreOffice, PDF, RTF, EPUB, HTML and more formats from drives, external volumes, archive files and Outlook .PST files (some .OST files also work).

The program supports complex searches via wildcards, proximity, ranges, "fuzzy" terms, and more using ###0###Lucene search###1###. You can also do standard file name search via "filename:###2###searchterm###3###." The program is cross-platform and functional on OS X and Linux, as well as 64-bit Windows.

###4###Note###5###: ###6######7###The program requires that you manually add folders/drives that you want to view before searching. See the "Basic Usage" section of the homepage for a few intro steps. When adding to the search scope, make sure to check "###2###Store relative paths if possible###3###"
###7###Some issues have appeared with the program on Windows 10. Users may wish to test the PortableApps ###11###beta version###1### if you have issues.###13###

Tremendous search program that has saved me again and again, finding files and content that other programs miss. Each version seems to add to the pile of file formats it can index. As a result, it's on every machine I own and some I don't.

MoisheP on 2018-06-17 01:13

DocFetcher indexes many formats, such as LibreOffice documents, that Microsoft Search (aka Cortana) does not, or does incompletely. It also uses far less CPU time, once the initial indexing is completed, than MS. DocFetcher also runs on Linux. Results can be sorted by likelihood of match, as well as filename, type, date etc. Only downside is that it requires Java.

This program 3 times or more has shown equal files with different checksums, a second check then has shown for both files the same sum then and the same sums as another program has shown. Why is it?

@uwotm8: what hashing algorithm are you using? With any of them, checksum collisions aren't impossible but remain highly unlikely. Anyway, the developer contact is in the ReadMe file -- you should send a report of the precise issue you have.

v1.5.160 (2016-02-09) released !

tomcat on 2022-04-29 07:10

The software hasn’t been updated since Feb 2016, which may account for this attractive player not enjoying the popularity it deserves.
Sound quality is good.
The reason I chose it is because its default skin is elegant, functional and space-sparing, with large buttons and the playlist attached below the player without non-essential additions.
You can easily create playlists (drag-and-drop supported) and change the order of their contents to whatever you like. For portability, save the playlist M3U8 files in the player’s folder.
Memory usage is less than 10 MB, quite negligible for any modern system.
The player places a lot of emphasis on being skinnable, if the user takes the trouble, which I didn’t see the need for.
The hot keys are the player’s main weakness. The default ones are not user-friendly. You can assign your own, but as they (oddly) also have effect when the player is in the background, if you type on another app while listening to music, it may interfere.

JPEG & PNG Stripper v1.5.7.70

JPEG & PNG Stripper is a drag-and-drop metadata stripper/cleaner for one or more JPG/JPEG, JFIF and PNG files, saving disk space and protecting privacy. Metadata carries a variety of information about the camera or device used to take the picture, date it was taken, and other data primarily important for photographers. Because metadata increasingly carries more and more information about the pre-cropped original photo and on where the picture was taken (geo-location), metadata can represent a ###0###privacy risk###1###. Deleting metadata usually saves between 1 and 10% of the overall file size.

I know this is a bit late. I just started using this program.
- the GUI has a option to 'Preserve date and time'; so does the command line "/PRESERVE-DATETIME=1"
- if run from the command line it does not seem to create the file 'Stripper prefs' in %APPDATA%

I do this quite often so I have a context-menu entry for JPG & PNG files to "Strip all EXIF" (using this program).

---------------------------

From the read-me :

Commandline Syntax

/GUI={0|1}
/IGNORE-READONLY={0|1}
/PRESERVE-DATETIME={0|1}
anything else on the command line is treated as a folder or filename (allows wildcards)

stripper /gui=0 c:\path\test.jpg
stripper /gui=0 c:\path\test.* /ignore-readonly=1

If you just want the recycle bin in the systray area on your main PC, then another way is to add it via quick launch. Right-click taskbar, toolbars, add ... %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch ... Unlock taskbar, untick show text/titles, tick large icons under view, lock taskbar. You can now drag items to this and they'll be added to the RB; right-click lets you empty it, and of course clicking it will open it.

Then you're free to remove that damned icon from the desktop. I know this isn't portable and of course it doesn't have the extra functions, but again, this is just if you want it in your tray on your main PC.

@ misan: If you klick on the little "?"-icon behind "Stealth" ...

What makes an application "stealth"?

For the purpose for this website, "stealth" means when an application is launched, used and terminated properly, it does not leave behind any entries in the registry or filesystem. Certain exceptions are permitted. For example, registry entries that are created/updated by Windows for the application (eg. MRU entries for dialog boxes, DirectX entries for DirectX-based apps), or temp files created in the official "Temp" folders are not taken into consideration. Note: "Stealth" does not mean non-traceability! In fact, it is quite unlikely you can hide your activities on a Windows machine from a capable system administrator.

Seems like this doesn't work any more in Windows 10. Although apps portablised using it in previous versions of Windows still seem to work OK.

JauntePE downloaded, just want to try it) I am a fan of portable apps!!!
I have experience Molbox, but this is no longer supported. Then he switched to Boxedapp. These programs are very cool!

Confirmed. Thanks outskirter.

outskirter on 2012-02-12 00:03

You're welcome, Guinness. I've just sent a review to Softpedia, including a heads-up to the site's administration about the bad download file.

DuoExplorer was *almost* my choice for basic file management in two panes. I don't mind the lack of extra features, as I was looking for a minimalistic dual-pane file manager. Nevertheless, for me it has two drawbacks: It doesn't save the details-view column widths to its .INI file, and there's no option for vertical pane orientation -- they're strictly horizontal. Another thing: If I use list view in both panes, when restarting the app it remembers that setting for the active pane only. The inactive pane reverts to details view. There is no Settings menu, and editing the .INI file doesn't help.

outskirter on 2012-02-15 16:17

Final note on DuoExplorer: Softpedia has now fixed the download file. It's now a proper Zip archive containing DuoExplorer.exe. That's the only file you need; the app writes the necessary config files in its own application folder.

Very useful tool. I'd rather us WinMtr than this but this program does something WinMtr doesn't do, which is log to a file.

A good alternative software that, while not as simple, doesn't require the MSVBVM60.DLL file: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=208

This is very handy when dedicated to a process you do often-emailing pictures for instance.I have FastStone too (which is great) but with Fast Image Resizer you can just drag a picture onto its desktop shortcut.If you want,it'll clean off the exif data too.

EjectUSB is a tool for quickly closing apps running from a USB drive and ejecting the drive from safe removal. It will automatically close all programs running from the drive EjectUSB was run from (host drive), close any explorer windows open to the host drive, remove Windows MUI and MRU entries and recent document shortcuts related to the host drive, and attempt to eject the host drive when done. It can also interface with various utilities to aid in drive ejection.

Alternatively, the program can be run from your hard drive as a tool to restore a computer to its post-boot state. If you have 10-20 windows open, this will quickly and easily close them all, akin to pressing a reset button for your desktop.

###0###Warning:###1### Launching EjectUSB will immediately close all programs running from the host drive and eject the drive without user intervention!

One of the best in this category, but it does not support unicode.

ed on 2007-09-01 04:51

I have been using ClipSecure for over a year now, and I love it. I use it for my emails with my family and to secure my confidential documents on my portable USB dive when I travel. I keep a copy on the drive and load it onto any computer I use at any net cafe. I am not a sophisticated user, and it is very convenient and user friendly for me.

be careful with this one! i accidentally assigned a hotkey that conflicted with one used by my file manager. when i hit the key to switch desktops, bosskey crashed, and i couldn't for the life of me get back to my other desktops, where unsaved work was calling to me. i lost an hour of writing because of this program...

"i accidentally assigned a hotkey that conflicted with one used by my file manager"

@jameson I think you would do better to be careful when assigning hotkeys
