Portable program to manage drives like Treesize?

Submitted by Dirki on April 25, 2015 - 3:21pm

Is there a portable (fast) program to make catalogs / lists / an image of the file names and folders (not of their content) of external drives / hard disks like Treesize? So when those drives are not plugged in I could see their files / folders in such a program.

I have search for days and tried many programs, but none of them where useful, "Locate" included, "IndexYourFiles" also.

The Carbide

Submitted by theboy181 on April 24, 2015 - 6:15pm

I just wanted to warn people about the Carbide.

I bought the 32 gig version, and setup a new pass code. I must of guessed the wrong code more than 10 times, and the device got wiped.

I finally figured out that I needed to set a code longer than 4 digits, and this is why it deleted the pre-installed data.

So after setting the device up again, I get the solid RED (LOCKED) led again. This time I have no clue what caused it. I don't have time for this.

Right side Icons not working

Submitted by Manly1138 on April 19, 2015 - 6:41pm

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this.
The Explore and Documents icons are the only ones working on the right side app icons. Music, Pictures, and Videos do not open a directory.
I think a few years ago I had moved those three directories from the root of my flash drive to underneath the Documents directory. I have now moved them back under the root or recreated them back under the root of my portable apps drive.

More Favorites in main menu?

Submitted by drsprite on April 9, 2015 - 12:54pm

I'm using Platform 12.0.5. Is it possible to have more than the standard count of icons / favorites in the main menu? Currently, I have 19 favorites, and want to add more, but there's no room on the main menu area.

I know I can click on the "All Portable Apps" link to open the categories, but the Favorites list is nice and quick.

If we can't have more than 19 icons, then maybe a folder under "All Portable Apps" that has the Favorites listed, that way I can have as many favorites as I want.

Thoughts?

Thanks

PA.c license(s) question

Submitted by rappard on April 9, 2015 - 8:06am

What's the exact open source license(s) (BSD, GPL, MIT, ...) PA.c is distributed with? http://wikipedia.org/wiki/PortableApps.com (right-hand side) says:

GPLv2, LGPLv2, MIT License, MPL 1.1, wxWindows Library Licence

But I can't find any mention of these on the PA.com site. Or do the above refer to (some of) the software packages bundled with PA.c? If so, what license is PA.c itself licensed under?

Thanks,

Martin
