WinMerge Portable

Submitted by dlittl13 on August 6, 2007 - 6:35pm

Hi All

Ive used this piece of software for sometime and thought I would put it up for nomination to be portablised by someone in the PortableApps.com team since it the best way to go. Smile

The software itself is used to compare the contents of two different files to see what differences there are. It is very handy when trying to find out where you have mucked up your coding. It is licensed under the GPL and would be a good addition to the arsenal already present here.

Portable suite Giga pack or bulk download page

Submitted by robertltux on August 5, 2007 - 2:14pm

What are the thoughts of having a download of portable suite that has a larger number of the apps? One of my issues with Portable apps is if i would like to grab a group of them say the suite and all of the Moz apps and the MM aps and ... i would have to drill into the ap page then find the download get sent to sourceforge for the file go to the next app then...

If need be i could host some of the downloads (but having a download link farm would be groovy also)

I found this one on FramaKey, it's a chess game with rotatable views like brutal chess, but I'm finding it's more advanced. As I told John, I don't like chess, but a good game's a good game, would people be interested if i PAFified it?

Oops, right, a link... Blum

Arrow keys to rotate.

Gedcom reader - genealogy data

Submitted by richardcallanan on August 3, 2007 - 5:27pm

Gedcom is an industry standard file format for all the data we geeks keep on our ancestors. All the main commercial genealogy programs can create gedcom files. There are several free-standing gedcom reader programs available but I can find none that are portable. It would be so neat not to have to take my laptop on every research trip!

Scanner

Submitted by autobot on August 3, 2007 - 3:33pm

Found nice little app that i believe is standalone, free, and has the open source codes.
Its called scanner and it displays the usage of your drives. Cames in pretty handy sometimes, when i have to fix some pcs and show ppl that there mp3s or video files are taking up way to much of there disk space. Its easier to show them in a pie chart form then in the Gigabytes that they dont understand.
