Congrats Ryan
Congrats to Ryan on his first PortableApps.com release

Marko
could you get the german page up?
if you have the time...
He did
I think Marko did it already. Just add a de/ to the beginning of the main page.
oh
he is faster than I thought
Please ...
... let me time to upload a first version before You start :-|
But no matter if the German page is up so quick after the release
Could You do the rest Simeon?
Thanks
Marko
for the trash???
OK I'll wait. I don't want to push you. Honestly.
Go for it :-)
I could not upload the first translation with the first try, but with the second one.
You are to quick for me, so I've edited my last post
I'll need some sleep to get the first version of the PA Update tool online tomorrow
Regards
Also,
I think it's worth noting, I looked into setting the language automatically with the installer, and although it's stored in the registry as a Windows language code (i.e. 1033), it needs to be converted to hex first and I didn't see a way to do that.
In any case, yay!
ok
what about the App itself?
I think its too much work for nothing. Maybe in the future when we want all apps with german installer/Launcher strings but not atm.
And if you have the time could you update the german front page?
https://portableapps.com/de
Its REALLY old
Done ...
... and now You are the new owner :-9
Thank You for the other updates on the de/apps and utilities pages
Regards
Marko

i wonder..
i wanted to make certain programmes to be portable to, anyone can guide me?
Not on a News Story
Questions like this shouldn't go on a news story, rather in the Forums. This question is asked a lot, and there is several unsupported solutions available like using the 'Portable App Creator', or the 'Portable Application Template'. The best solution (but maybe the hardest is to modify the code from on of the launchers here in the Other\Source directory. Here's a recent post asking the same question. You can find those tools I mentioned by searching the forums. Please do not reply to this, thanks.
Yeah Ryan
Will download and try it out.
Congratulations
Tim
Congratulations Ryan
I really love this App and am very happy to see it in the official List.
I use it very often because its handy to compare nsi files between versions
Hope you get your games released soon *hint*!
Heck yes
I've been waiting for a program like this to pop up for free, several times I've had two huge folders on my drives and had no way of properly comparing the two other than just hard labour and guesswork. Now it's on my USB for free...top stuff!
BTW, long time user/reader, first time poster. I finally registered just to comment on this
Congrats
Congratulations, Ryan, on your first official release. I'll sure be using this, the same way I have ever since it first came out as beta. Thanks.
Yay!
Go Ryan *clap* *clap* Go Ryan!
*patrick now waits patiently for his turn*
Sadly, though...
Patrick will not get his turn.
Hehe.
Not if I have a say [insert evil laughter here]!
I just tried it
and it works great.
Thanks Ryan!
EDIT
Found a typo on the winmerge page:

Fixed now. Shows what happens when I do this late at night
Works great
I already have Beyond Compare, but this is nice, very easy to use.
*claps*
Welcome to the club Ryan

I commiserate you and express my condolences.
Your time will come
Just have some patience!
Congratulations, Ryan

BTW the link that says "read on for details" doesn't have an anchor, it just goes to the same page.
Yeah
That's because it's before the <!--more--> (I think, maybe that's WP) tag. Take a look at the news pages at /news to see how it works.
Awesome!!
This is by far my favorite diff program, and now it's a portableapp! Saw the update on my gMail feed and was quite excited. Thanks a million!

I'm new to WinMerge and was surprised to see it has an installed size of 11.5M
I have been a happy user of Igor Green's Compare It! (formerly WinCmp) for many years which has an installed size of 1.5M (one executable, one help file, no dlls)
Is there any one familiar with both that can tell me what I get for an extra 10M?
I can tell you that 7.5MB of
I can tell you that 7.5MB of that is language support; you can probably delete the ones you wouldn't use. Another 1.3MB is standard libraries.
