WinMerge Drag and Drop

Submitted by Swwright on September 29, 2020 - 12:54pm

Question about WinMerge Portable.

If I start it by going to PA.c > PortableApps > WinMergePortable and double-clicking WinMergePortable.exe, I can drag files or folders onto the WinMerge window and it opens the folder selection window. Also, if I have that window open, I can drag files or folders onto it to change the first, second, or third file/folder selections.

Ditto clipboard manager on system startup - still portable?

Submitted by dikliu on September 26, 2020 - 12:47pm

I download and am setting up the Ditto clipboard manager. The setup menu has an option to "Start Ditto on System Startup". If I checked that option, wouldn't Ditto load during Windows startup? How would that remain a portable app so that, if needs be, I can delete the program by just deleting the program's folder? Thanks.
