Nice v5e6m

I've been using this for some time now (locally).
And, its the secons app for today - one usefull, one funny!:)

EDIT:

It works as expected, preventing a run if its already running locally and the launcher sticks around if I resize it.

Updater? 2g5n3q

Hi ComputerFreaker, thanks for your work on this, but I'd like to point out a couple of things,
1-> It says up there

portableapps.isosite.org Platform 2.0 Beta 5 s who already have this app installed, simply click 'Check for Updates' in your PA.c Menu to update to the new version.

But it's not showing up in the updater, it appears that there is no entry for it in the portableapps.isosite.org update.ini.
Could you add it to the update.ini?
I believe this is what it should say:

[CrystalDiskInfoPortable]
Name=CrystalDiskInfo Portable
Description=disk health monitoring tool
Category=Utilities
SubCategory=Other
URL=https://portableapps.isosite.org/CrystalDiskInfoPortable
PackageVersion=3.10.0.1
DisplayVersion=3.10.0
File=CrystalDiskInfoPortable_3.10.0.paf.exe
Hash=ea80df142b887398930c07b068d15c7c
Size=1
InstallSize=2
ReleaseDate=2011-02-19
UpdateDate=2011-02-19

2-> portableapps.isosite.org/CrystalDiskInfoPortable is an Error:404.

Edit: Looks like #1 has been addressed, bit now SubCategory says "Disk Tools", and the Utilities Category Page shows it under "Other".

SubCategories 1m476x

The sub categories in the updater.ini do not always match the site. A good 1/3 to 1/2 of app shortcut URLs are not live and will not go live until the app directory is revamped.

Bundled Crapware 111v66

I assume this release doesn't include any of the adware (opencandy) that Crystalmark bundle in some of their official installers ed from their site?

crapware? 3e5t6j

What do you mean?

OpenCandy t6f6w

I believe he is referring to OpenCandy. It's an installer add-in for local software installer (not portable installers) that is billed to suggest additional related software to what you install. It's a way for free software projects to make a bit of revenue from software installs. CrystalDiskInfo's local installer uses it. As does WinS and some of the other local installation packages for the portable software we produce.

It's a bit different from what most people think of as sneaky installers (some which try and install multiple browser toolbars, take over your homepage or default search provider, etc) as it is not selected on by default so you don't have to hunt for it. For example, the current WinS and CrystalDiskInfo installers both have a page right before the install confirmation page that offers to install Internet Explorer 9. There are two options, "Install Internet Explorer 9, Recommended by CrystalDiskInfo" and "Do not install Internet Explorer 9" and there are links to the license and privacy statement. Neither is selected and the must select one before proceeding.

The portableapps.isosite.org Installers have no such option to add something like OpenCandy in, so you have nothing to worry about one way or the other anyway.

Thanks for the clarification. 644d4u

Thanks for the clarification. Last time I ed one of the official installers with OpenCandy in it, Microsoft Security Essentials fired off to alert me of OpenCandy AdWare and it advised to delete the installer. Bit bizarre if Microsoft IE9 using OpenCandy software if their own anti-malware solution blocks it...

Not Exactly 4x4l59

MSSE shows an alert showing it as adware (not spyware or malware) and has no suggested action on detection. At least it did here when I checked it.

not AHCI and RAID HDD 11j25

unfortunately does not AHCI and RAID HDD

It does AHCI 1c6h28

I have been using this for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure that it does AHCI, as I always use it.

What is the point of using the launcher? 5m3e1e

This is something that I am having difficulty understanding.

I have been using CrystalDiskInfo on my USB flash drive for a couple of years now. The program is already portable when you use the .zip file.

So, what is the point of having a PA launcher for this?

There are other program as well, like Notepad++, which I have been using on a USB flash drive before I got back into using PortableApps. But I do not understand what benefit there is using the PA launchers for these program, which are already portable.
