FREE Great Programs for Windows 7

[OppfinnarJocke]

try www.portableapps.com & Download PORTABLE SOFTWARE - Softpedia

Yes, yes, I know, been there... thanks.
I still think that this thread would benefit if it included info about which app is portable and which is not...

 

[Windows i7 920]

Display Fusion is not free. It has a free trial with rather limited features. Some of the features described require the full version.

I (try to) only use portable programs, so this info is crucial to me.

Nowadays with the use of Thinstall and the likes, almost everything can be made portable.
I prefer that too, less clutter, no messed up registry, no hassle to get rid of if needed.

Brian,
This is FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION!

In the Software Thread category, I do a daily review and post of Giveaway of the day.
Most of the time if they are Rated 50% or lower(Thumbs UP) I don't post them.
The "Free" software they are giving away is mostly junk. If it has any value I will post and show rating and follow with Read Comments and let the member decide if it is something they want to try it.
It is on rare occasion that they give anything away that is useful. IMHO

Agree with you Howling Wolves what you said but at times user's ratings may not give the real picture as 1 might expect tooo much from the apps but if not delivered then he/she may rate it low but if i like it i may rate it high...e.g. when i first tried KMP its rating wasn't high but i have been using for the last 2 yrs & i like it...

SrtStrip

Here's a small utility for the Windows command line that removes one character angle bracket tags(such as italic <i> and </i>) from .srt subtitle files.

It's just a small AutoHotKey program. Here's the source

If 0 < 1
{
	MsgBox, 64, SrtStrip Usage, SrtStrip Copyright (c) 2010 www.FavesSoft.com`n`nUsage: SrtStrip filename`n`nOutput is filename with .strip extension stripped of <> tags
	ExitApp
}

InFile := %0%
OutFile := InFile . ".strip"
Loop, read, %InFile%,%OutFile%
{
    result := RegExReplace(A_LoopReadLine,"<.>")
	result := RegExReplace(result,"</.>")
	FileAppend,%result%`n
}

or you can download the compiled exe from my page here:

Faves Downloads

Just search for SrtStrip

To process an entire folder full of .srt file, make sure SrtStrip.exe is in a folder that's in your PATH. Open a command prompt in the folder with the .srt files. Run this command:

for %s in (*.srt) do SrtStrip %s

for every filename.srt you had now you will also have a filename.srt.strip

The original is not changed. Just move the .strip files to another folder and use a renamer to chop the .strip extension off. Someone on another forum asked me for this and I hate seeing those <i> tags in the dialog anyway.

That's all it does. No bells, no whistles.
