CubicExplor's View (Thumbnail) Function Is Disabled After A Search

Submitted by Caxtin1 on August 11, 2022 - 11:22pm

Just downloaded the current version 0.95.1 Rev 2.
I really love CubicExplorer so much since it's lightning quick to search the directories, except for one very important function.

After a search for a particular file type, the VIEW function gets disabled; this kinda defeats the purpose of searching something. Say I search for JPG files, it will quickly show me the found files, but I cannot view the thumbnails, since that function will be automatically disabled/greyed. Is there any solution to this very important function?

Thanks.

[Fixed] Process Monitor update/installation bug

Submitted by devotee on August 11, 2022 - 8:24am

When I tried to update this specific app (version 3.89 to 3.90), it gave me an error (a problem downloading the binaries from downloads.sysinternals.com). Manually downloading the file does work.

I also tried to download the ProcessMonitorPortable_3.90_online.paf.exe to try to do a "clean" installation and it also fails with the same error. Details given by the installer:

Database Browser

I have a persistent problem installing/upgrading Database Browser. It is cancelled with this message (translated from German):

"The downloaded file Database Browser is invalid and cannot be installed. Maybe the cause is an uncomplete download or a network problem. Please start the upgrade once again."

There is no problem with any other Portable App. I have no idea, what network problem could be adressed.

WinMerge settings can now be stored in an INI file

Submitted by nnewton on March 17, 2022 - 6:14am

As of version 2.16.13, WinMerge now has support for settings stored in an INI file:

https://winmerge.org/docs/changelog.php?lang=en#winmerge-21613---2021-06-22

While, by default, it looks for an INI file next to the WinMergeU.exe file, you can also specify the INI file to use via command line:

HWINFO Malware detected in latest version ?

Submitted by myster_fr on February 28, 2022 - 5:59am

Hello,

I got prompted to update HWInfo by the PortableApps Platform app, and proceeded.
Right after the upgrade, my Sophos Endpoint Agent started shouting about a malware in the files.

I know there can be false positives, but given HWInfo was already "installed" for quite a while on my computer, I'm surprised it suddently triggered AV protection.

FYI, the reported malware is Mal/hckPk-A .

Might be a false positive, thought it worth being reported given the AV behaviour change with the new version.

Update busted.

(How's that for a short sweet summary? Biggrin )

Every other update succeeds, but TCPview says that the download is bad. Win7 64x (but I could try it from Linux) PortableApps installed on a dedicated Gorilla Stick.
