WinMerge2011

Submitted by PortableGood on October 6, 2014 - 12:07pm

Currently, PortableApps offers WinMerge. Unfortunately, WinMerge has known bugs and hasn't really been updated in quite some time.

There is a popular fork of WinMerge, called WinMerge2011, that has received significant updates. It is open source, and so all updates can be viewed. I have nothing to do with the development... I'm just a user of that software.

BitTorrent

Submitted by ot4ku on October 5, 2014 - 11:47am

Hello,
im using µtorrent and bittorrent, and now that we have µtorrent here portable i would like to see the original bittorrent also as portable app. Its the same developement team, its based on the same code, and it looks pretty much the same, so i guess it should be a lot more easy to make it potable because there is already µtorrent.

Its the best was to run two torrent clients at the same time, thanks!

CCleaner Addition

Submitted by burtguidry on October 1, 2014 - 11:44am

CCleaner has a portable version of its software that I use a lot. I know it does not meet the criteria of free source software but if it could be added here it would make it easier to update the version on my USB drive. The link is listed below.

KeePass 2 seems no longer to be maintained - can you take over?

Submitted by Randomcore on September 28, 2014 - 8:46am

Actually a portable version of KeePass 2 is linked from the developers web site to this location:

http://www.professioneinformatica.eu/Products/PortableApplications/tabid...

But it's pretty outdated and the maintainer doesn't respond to users feedback.

Can you take over and provide us with the upcoming releases?

TIA

Regards,

Log file reader/viewer

Submitted by farat_as on September 20, 2014 - 3:53pm

Hi,

It would be great if we have a portable log file reader/viewer.

I found an open source one here:
http://logexpert.codeplex.com/

But it requires ".Net Framework". Please support this app after ".net framework" feature will support on portable apps.

There are many other alternatives here (some open source which also do not requires .net framework):
