Utility Apps Support

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.

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.

Any chance Nexusfile can be made into a portable app? It is a free app but I don't know if it's open source.

The excellent WinMerge2011 project had its upstream repository removed from BitBucket because BitBucket removed all mercurial projects.

The links on this website no longer point to a valid repo.

Does anyone know the new location of the WinMerge2011 project?

Microsoft Defender Antivirus's App control feature called 'Protection History'
detected IobitUninstaller as a "potentially unwanted app" (PUA).
In addition to the Antivirus detection, a link within 'Protection History' reported the following:
PUA:Win32/DriverBooster on Microsoft's Security Intelligence page

Loading the file directory (below) on VirusTotal, four Antivirus programs detected IobitUninstaller as unsafe or unwanted and as either a PUA / PUP by DrWeb, ESET, K7 antivirus, and Sophos

The newest version of Convert All does not work (0.8.0), however the next oldest version, 0.7.5 does work when I download it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/ConvertAll%20Portable/

Is this a build error? How do I get this resolved? Thank you.

Moved to appropriate forum - Mod GC

Which would've been nice to know, and I wouldn't have bothered downloading it - since I can't actually install it on a computer until I can get internet working (at which point it is useless).

The latest version of Wise Program Uninstaller Portable cannot be installed using the PortableApps Platform.

The Platform throws a non-descriptive error each time.

Here is summary of findings from Windows Security...

Not the first time. It would be interesting to find out what exactly caused hopefully false positive.

Ran an update and Microsoft Defender flagged DTaskManager as having a Trojan. I've quarantined the exe for the moment.
