Current App list.
Updating because I've been doing a lot of side work w/ Windows machines recently, having to update myself of what's current/changed since I was last "in it". (Majority of $Dayjob, inertia, and yes, games.) Preference is usually given to Cross Platform, and OpenSource, sometimes in that order.
(I really need to find a replacement for Blogger/Blogspot)
Cross-Platform:
GUI Log explorer: KLOGG
Modern, maintained successor to GLogg. (Source) *nix, Mac, Windows.
Winget ID: variar.klogg
===
Visual diff and merge tool: Meld
It does files, folders, and version-control sets. And 3 way compares. Source.
Winget ID: Meld.Meld
===
HexEditor: ImHex
Very swank, looks promising. (I haven't had much use yet, unfortunately.) Supports plugins, and its own pattern DSL. Utilizes your GPU! Perhaps a bit too fancy for its own good?(Source)Winget ID: WerWolv.ImHex
===
Bittorrent Client: Tixati
Fast, Cross-platform. (I haven't tried Linux version yet.) Just-works.
Winget ID: (Portable version is listed)
Windows Specific:
Driver Installer/updater (Including offline): Snappy Driver Installer Origin – Glenn's Page
Seem to be the current replacement for the old "Driver Pack Installer". (This is a fork of, and not to be confused with "Snappy Driver Installer" that has been compromised with malware.) Delightfully old(ish)school.===
Transparent Filesystem compression: CompactGUI
"GUI for the Win32 Compression API to achieve the same thing as the native compact.exe command-line tool available from Windows 10 onwards". Lets you use different compression parameters and two different algorithms, letting you select the tradeoffs for the use case. Crashdumps are a great candidate.
Winget ID: IridiumIO.CompactGUI
===
Disk Space usage visualization: WinDirStat
Venerable, but still maintained, and still useful. Source
Winget ID: WinDirStat.WinDirStat
===
Text Editor: Notepad++
(Obviously doesn't need visibility, but still a shout-out for Don Ho who has been working on this thing for years.)
