Ennovy on 18 May 2024
  • 3MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 18 May 2024
  • Suggested by joby_toss

KeyNote NF is a tabbed notebook that is particularly suitable for writing and organizing free-form information, especially those that fit naturally within a tree-based structure, such as lists or outlines. It supports rich text and images, multi-level notes and strong encryption. A search function quickly locates information you are looking for. Notes can also be securely encrypted using IDEA or Blowfish.

KeyNote NF is a fork of the original early 2000s' open-source Keynote, which is no longer being developed. It adds many new features, including check boxes on children of selected nodes, hidden nodes, alarms on nodes, better treatment of tables, improved treatment of links, multi-language support, automatic compression, etc.

@portfree: FYI, a comprehensive solution for creation of portable shortcuts that could be used for that was posted to the forums -- check https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=65410#p65410 ...

I love this program. Glad someone picked it and started updating it again, if only so it remains running on future hardware and OSes.

FileHandler on 2024-01-28 15:52

Been using it for over a decade. Elaborate export feature that turns tree branches into headings, customizable key shortcuts, BG-colors, fonts, icons...
And with recent improvements, it got better than ever. Lots of hidden features, if you take the time to dig deeper.

Alternative margins, for instance, to name just one example. You set them up in keynote.ini, then toggle them on via View > Alternative Margins. Allows to set up a distraction-free writing area with plenty of white space left and right, when coupled with hidden sidebars.

After years of not being able to just drop-in a recent version of ffmpeg in Audacity's application folder, you can finally just do that.

Tried on recent version Audacity_x64 with ffmpeg_x64 (needs the shared builds) and it works! Just have to update location folder of ffmpeg on main gui.

Looks like the project is closed. Anyone know a decent alternative (small size, multiple translation services, handy pop-up translation...)?

lintalist on 2023-08-08 12:43

@nh As long as QTranslate still works, it works.
Crow Translate - https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=3046 - select text, Ctrl+Alt+E for the popup, but I find the popup to be less convenient compared to QTranslate.

I signed up just to answer this, since I was in the same situation. On the official forum, I learned that its author apparently disappeared http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=35038

But I also learned that some people created unofficial updates like the following:
https://softoroom.org/topic82865s10.html (Webpage)
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/MrxN1u35E0AJYg (Link without redirect)

This version is the one I use now and for the moment, I have not had any problems, although I warn you, I recommend being careful before downloading files from obviously unknown sources.

It's like an outliner, but in more than one dimension. It's like a text editor, but with structure. It is capable of many kinds of data organization, including todo lists, calendars, project management, brainstorming, organizing ideas, planning, requirements gathering, presentation of information, etc.

PortableApps.com AppCompactor v3.7.4 Updated

Ennovy on 15 May 2024
  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 15 May 2024
  • Suggested by Checker

PortableApps.com AppCompactor allows you to compress whole directories including applications, file libraries and zip files. The program is a powerful compression tool that unites 7-Zip and UPX inside a user-friendly wizard. For applications, this saves disk space and increases performance when running from a slow media (like flash drives). For archives, this will recompress DLL, EXE, ZIP, JAR, IRC, PYD and BIN files to their maximum compression settings, as well as an option to decompress an app's binary files that were previously compressed with UPX.

All files are tested using UPX's test feature after compressing. Files smaller than 4K are automatically skipped as compressing will not save space on the drive. The standard Microsoft Visual C runtimes are skipped to prevent antivirus false-positives. Advanced configuration can be done with apps in PortableApps.com Format.

Note: As UPX will alter the EXEs and DLLs (reversible using the Decompress option in the AppCompactor) and some apps may have issues with Zip or Jar files compressed further, users should backup software and test it after processing.

tommyD: Disadvantages are that it breaks some programs, and it may be slightly more CPU-intensive to decompress libraries and executables on the fly.

BGM on 2014-08-22 14:50

Hey, if you all use the installer, be careful! It has some very subtle "other" stuff bundled in there. Make sure you read every panel. "Other" stuff includes "Search Protect" and "Trovi Search" which changes your search pages and home pages. PUSH SKIP. There is another one that tries to install (but I can't get it to do it after cancelling the installation once) and you have to push "disagree" in order not to install it.
