Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

PDF viewer with auto-reload on file change

Submitted by stw on August 22, 2007 - 1:40am

Hi everybody, I have tried Foxit Reader and Sumatra PDF as well as a few other PDF viewers not available on this site, but all of them are missing an important feature: automatically reloading the file when it has been modified (preferably at the same position/zoom). This is important for me because I use LaTeX for typesetting, and I'd like to quickly see what I type in the generated PDF file.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance
-Stephan.

BCArchive

I think that Jetico BCArchive is such a fantastic program which really beats any other archive format in terms of security hands down, so I'd love it to be made into a portable application.

UnxUtils

Hi,

I have been looking for some kind of basic collection of programs and tools used in the the Unix and GNU/Linux field.

I think that a basic but interesting combination of tools is present in UnxUtils (see in sourceforge). However, that project seems to be discontinued since 2004 and there is not any portable version for this collection of tools.

When you have to manage and edit huge amounts of information is always useful gawk, sed, join, grep or diff and some decent shell.
