Crashes a lot, and pieces of windows get "left behind" over the interface, like the chat text and then slowly scrolls out of view. Very bad.

This is 37mb for two reasons: a) it is a GTK app and includes the full GTK runtimes in the package, and B) it contains full localization for dozens of languages.

Removing the localizations and UPXing the GTK runtimes should bring this down to a fraction of its size.

if u can bear with screen flickering & some slow responses .. u've find the best free irc client (DCC+1) @least in my opinion

Rarely if ever generates a sudoku with only one solution. I often arrive at a situation where there is no way to determine the remaining squares because of this.

Gawran on 2007-09-04 09:22

This is a terrible sudoku implementation.

Much better version can be found as part of "Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection":
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

All the games there are portable, and coded with great care.

BTW, Simon Tatham is better known as author of Putty.

juverax on 2020-08-28 16:39

It generates puzzles with several solutions.
This implementation is not a game based on reasoning, but on guessing that always works (of course because there is no unique solution) but after you have desperately tried to solve rationally the puzzle. Disappointing.

M3U Dropper v0.741

billon on 14 Oct 2016
  • 532KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 6 Oct 2012
  • Suggested by flector

M3U Dropper creates, imports, and organizes playlist files that take selections from an audio/video collection and put them in an order of your choice. This is useful for example in creating a mix of songs or videos with a specific mood or purpose. As the name suggests, the program creates M3U files which are used in most software players (Winamp, Foobar, Songbird, etc.) and many hardware players (including the iPod). Can also output to and import from other playlist formats including M3U8, PLS, and WPL.

Although other programs can generate playlist files, M3U Dropper uses a more portable method of relative pathways.

  • Bug Fixed: Right clicking and exploring a file works as intended when the filename has an internal comma or is on a \\server.
  • https:// is no longer stripped from filenames when links are dropped from browsers.
  • Added F8 as a hotkey for "Clear Config File".
  • When config (*.m3udrop) files are saved to the same drive as M3U Dropper.exe, all references to the file are relative.

If you use the Installer Version then this might be the case (haven't Tested) but if you use the EXE in the Portable Version folder it won't Install RealPlayer etc...

CubicExplorer v0.95.1

  • 8MB (uncompressed)

  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

CubicExplorer is a customizable Explorer replacement that supports bookmarks, themes, and multiple tabs. "Sessions" can be set with various customizations set to a particular setting (e.g. a picture folder set to thumbnails, a logs folder set to "details" and a program folder with desktop-like icons), and multiple sessions can be set for different folder sets based on tasks such as work, home, play, etc.

Unlike similar programs, CubicExplorer is built for ease-of-use and ability to adapt to your environment rather than a broad feature set, but includes some advanced features such as filtering, file preview, search, a built-in text editor with syntax highlighting support, and more. Multiple instances of the program can be run simultaneously.

Note: main site offline; linking to archive.org. Alternatively, CubicExplorer Portable adjusts paths in settings, bookmarks and sessions.

Outstanding file manager for when you constantly work with a set list of folders. The tabbed interface, bookmarks, and ability to save sessions makes navigating folders easy and simple. I would have great difficulty on Vista/Win7 without it.

rodger123 on 2012-10-15 05:34

Portable version on authors site does not write to the registry at all-I like the stack feature as I can drag files there and then drag them to a folder on my external drive,a little buggy but very useful-could not live without it!

hamasaki on 2014-06-22 13:45

Very nice file manager. Really nice interface. A little buggy at times, but overall very good. I like the fact you can build your own tree via categories in the left menu, rather than the default c drive tree view others have. Means I can have only relevant folders showing.
