App Description:

DTaskManager is a Windows Task Manager replacement. It has many extra features, including task suspension and reactivation, like in Linux, task freezing, multiple process selection, and three different types of task termination: 1) termination request (like "End Task" in Windows Task Manager), 2) forced termination with dialog tolerance (like "End Process" in Windows Task Manager), 3) forced termination, not available in Windows Task Manager (kills any process, including system processes, without question).

Technical Information:

Portidy 0.9.1 released

Submitted by aboerner on October 28, 2007 - 9:49am

Portidy is a tool to clean up files, folders and registry entries left on a guest host by portable applications. Portidy can run automatically as soon as the USB stick is mounted. It monitors data saved by applications and deletes them on exit.

Some new features of Portidy 0.9.1:

* Option to enable / disable appini files
* Wildcard support ('*', '?') for file names and registry entries in appini files
(this was hard work, as I had to (completely) rewrite several Portidy base functions...)
* Handle (search / monitor / delete) registry value contents (!)
* French language support

Cube Portable Launcher

Submitted by nat1192 on October 28, 2007 - 12:41am

This is a launcher for the original Cube game (not Sauerbraten). Since command line switches are important to many players of this game, the startup window allows for the entering of extra switches as well as modifying the width and height of the game.

Okay, for my first app, I chose an easy one. TimeTracker is an application usage and uptime tracking app. The only settings that it has is an .ini, so this is just basically PAFed so that the .ini is in the \Data directory. The launcher is based off of John's PNotes launcher. Anyway, if you need a more detailed explanation, see the official site:

This is just my preference, but can we post a link to the original program that is being portablized? Sometimes the brief description folks give doesn't seem to be descriptive enough, and a link to the original website development can help me decide if it is _really_really_ worth it, or just good enough.

Task Coach Portable 0.65.3 Pre-Release 1 (Testers Needed)

Submitted by Patrick Patience on October 22, 2007 - 9:44pm

Task Coach is an absolutely fantastic to-do manager that's very easy to use, but has plenty of wonderful features. The program is released under the GPL, read more about it from the Official Site.

I highly suggest you try this out as it's a wonderful program that's beneficial to many an goes great alongside PNotes (Portable). If you do download it, please do me the favor of reporting feedback on any problems you have, or even typos.
