Discovered this following __philippe's recommendation; the download link from webpage seems to be working now. This tiny app absolutely rocks -- I just wish that background color was user customizable...

GiF Resizer v1.10
Andrew Lee on 21 Dec 2021 Change history
- 628KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 8 Mar 2009
- Suggested by Wolfghost
GiF Resizer reduces the physical size of animated GIF files. This is not a compression program but instead changes the dimensions of the picture (e.g. 300x300 file reduced to 150x150) without changing other animation settings such as frame rate or colors.
This is useful for creating thumbnails of animated GIF files or for reducing the download size of the file.

It was never my intention to pit GiF Resizer against any alternative app -- I was only shining a light on an easy to miss yet relevant factor... :)

My current preferred notepad replacement, after swapping the hideous default icon with the the vanilla one from notepad (TY, ResHack). Shame it doesn't do text case conversions, then it would be perfect -- as it is, I use a well known commercial editor for heavy duty text editing and nfoPad (totally portable from v1.56, see post @ http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5409) for nfo file viewing. For the rest, Win32Pad is lightning fast and perfectly fit for the common text checking/light editing tasks. I don't hesitate to recommend it!

IP2 shows your machine's IP addresses on both Wide and Local Area Networks (WAN and LAN). While most tools focus on the local address, this provides the address from the perspective of an "outsider" on the Internet. This is useful in diagnostics, connectivity, and analysis.

FastStone Capture v5.3
billon on 22 Aug 2020 Change history
- 1MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 12 Feb 2007
- Suggested by Fluffy
FastStone Capture is a powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility. It allows you to capture anything on the screen including windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. It has innovative features such as a floating Capture Panel, hotkeys, resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, e-mailing, screen magnifier and many more.
Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.
Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.

@jimdorey: I'm a little confused why we had a listing that this works with Win10 -- it really doesn't. When this version of the program stopped being developed, Win7 wasn't even out yet. Anyway, I recommend trying another software package for that OS. I've updated the entry.

@jimdorey: v5.3 works fine on my win 10 x64 using a 1080p screen resolution. Maybe you're using a high DPI screen/4k monitor, and only the last version (8.4, payware, but worth every penny) works fine in that case.

GSpot v2.70a
Checker on 15 Mar 2014 Change history
- 1MB (uncompressed)
- Released on
- Suggested by Andrew Lee
GSpot determines which audio and video codecs are required to play a file, as whether these codecs are installed on your system. Simply drag-and-drop any AVI file to the GSpot window.
Note: Has not been updated for several years, so newer codecs may not be recognized.
| Category: | |
| Runs on: | Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista |
| Writes settings to: | Windows registry. I am accepting it as portable on the assumption that it will only be used occasionally to troubleshoot codec problems, so portable settings is that important. |
| Unicode support: | No |
| License: | Freeware |
| How to extract: | Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking on GSpot.exe. |

I like this program best, since it allows multiple files at the same time, and supports a bunch of different formats, and is free.

Outstanding program. Drag-and-drop support, multiple file checks, and containing the three major checking algorithms. Very useful to evaluate a file as genuine and uncorrupted.

Angry IP Scanner v2.21

Angry IP Scanner is a fast IP scanner that can ping a range of IP addresses to check if they are alive, then optionally resolve hostnames, scan ports, etc. The program is useful for network administrators to monitor and manage their networks.
Note: Current versions of this program require Java. Until this is tested as portable, we are linking to the previous non-Java version.

Is this program stealth (no writing at all to registry) or does it write some entries to the registry? Has anybody checked it? |
