Beta Testing

I have updated my portable version of Wink to comply with the latest launcher specs etc. The previous post was build 1000, this is for the latest build 1050 and there is also also a beta build 1060.

Application: Wink

PDFTK Builder is packaged and compressed courtesy of Simeon. It's a handy tool allowing you to watermark, rotate, password protect, split and do other manipulations to PDF files (such as those you create with OpenOffice.org Portable). This has a couple minor updates from the dev test: official splash screen added and timing altered, unused label removed.

Application: Launchy

Category: Utilities

About:

Launchy is a highly configurable, skinnable keystroke launcher. Think of it as auto-complete on steroids; it allows you to catalog applications on your system and launch them by typing in just a few characters. Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite using Qt and is very slick and fortunately easily made portable. After launching, press alt+space to use it.

InfraRecorder was originally posted by me a while ago, but T was kind enough to revisit it to get it up to snuff for official release, update the launcher and app, etc. It's a full featured CD and DVD burning app. From the dev test, there are a couple minor changes: official splash added, splash fade removed and time shortened.

I've just posted a pre-release of Task Coach Portable. Patrick Patience created this one and this is a finalization of his work with a few minor changes: Task Coach was updated to 0.69.1, the launcher was updated to correctly display the missing file name, the files (EXE, DLL, PYD) were all UPX compressed and the ZIPs recompressed, the icon was updated, the splash fade was removed and an official splash screen was added.

TypeFaster TypingTutor is an open source typing program that teaches you to touch type (though not as open source as they say, the original installer packs the Visual C++ runtimes :(). It's natively portable, but there were some issues with the current dir (CafeMOD:() and settings. Turns out that I forgot to add SetOutPath before the ExecWait :P.
