PeaZip 2.1 released

Submitted by giorgiotani on May 19, 2008 - 9:03am

Hi, it is available PeaZip 2.1, full changelog here: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

Most prominent updates are:
1) PeaZip has become a general purpose file and archive manager, allowing to manage items both in the filesystem and in archives. The file manager allow robust file move/copy operations, quick or secure deletion, file hashing or comparison and many other handy functions. (in Tools > Settings, second tab, it is possible to set startup interface if someone prefer the classic 2.0 application's behaviour).

K if any of you have used my launchers you know that by clicking the launcher, it will open IE or firefox and redirect for download if you do not have the App in the App\(Appname) folder. But my question is this, is there a way to have the launcher read what is the default internet browser on the computer, by reading the registry for it? Thanks for help in advance Smile

Submitted by Travis Carrico on May 16, 2008 - 4:20pm

what is the language environment variable for the upcoming platform that many of the apps are now including updates for? i see that Keepass checks "PortableApps.comLocaleWinName" but TaskCoach checks "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc". also what will be returned from the variable? or should i even include it in my program yet?

Portable Wireshark / WinPcap

Submitted by interiot on May 15, 2008 - 1:48pm

I've written up some information about silent installers for WinPcap. Wireshark currently offers a portable version, but it's bothersome to go through the process of installing WinPcap all the time.

http://paperlined.org/apps/wireshark/winpcap_silent_install.html

Basically, you extract these files from the winpcap installer:

  • npf.sys (there are three versions, for different architectures): copy it to %windir%\system32\drivers\ (unfortunately, this is the one change you have to make to the local machine)

PAM beta 4 w/ wallpaper switcher option ...

that could it do a different wallpaper each time? I know that right now, if you put the proper .bmp file in the pictures directory, it'll pop it in as the new wallpaper.
I've got a few scores of neat pics that could be a wallpaper that I might want to use.
It doesn't have to be random, or it can be random, or it could be partially random or whathaveyou, just that the wallpaper changes most of the time.

Too hard to script in it? Maybe even add a Wallpaper folder in the Pictures folder for it to pull from instead of just a file reference?
