Cool Stuff with Delphi #17
11 Feb
PortableApps — http://portableapps.com/
I’ve talked before about how much I enjoy PortableApps and what a cool thing it is — and so I was delighted to discover that the main menu application itself is written in Delphi.
If you have a decent sized memory stick — and who doesn’t these days? — then you should definitely give PortableApps a look.
And if you want to see the code, you can go here.
And there is also a project to make Delphi 7 personal a portable app (possibly other versions later on, probably never Delphi > 7): http://sourceforge.net/projects/portabledelphi/

February 12th, 2008 at 3:02 amNo wonder! Delphi is great for creating of small useful utilities. One more example - Super Utilities:

You don’t even need a very big USB drive. The entire suite and all of the portable applications on the site will fit comfortably in 512MB.
I’m not sure if you can even buy USB drives smaller than that any more.

Very good PIM, powerful and pretty looking.

February 13th, 2008 at 2:51 pmActually I don’t know for sure, whether these programs are written in Delphi or in C++ Builder. I have found DFM resources in their .EXE files. So they may be placed to any page:

or

Yet another example - RJ TextEd.
http://www.rj-texted.se/download.htm
"…RJ TextEd is developed in Delphi 2007 from Codegear…"
Very good text editor similar to the famous UltraEdit, but with additional features like:
- code folding (supports Delphi’s {$Region})
- skinning (looks great!)
- autocompletion
- …
And it’s FREE.
It’s worth to mention in your blog, Nick!

http://www.aimp.ru/index.php
Excellent replacement for WinAmp from Russia! It’s free too, and it’s written in Delphi.
Personally I’ve dismissed my Winamp two months ago.
Delphi rocks!

SuperLogix and TreeNotes are both Delphi apps. There is about 10 to 1 chance that an app is in Delphi as compared to C++Builder. When in doubt place the app in the Delphi list, and just mark "app might be C++Builder" then others will check it later.
RJ TextEd looks very good and have a good feature set. For how it meassures up against other excellent editors like PSPad, I will find out later after more use.

Do you know which of the Yoyo games are made with Delphi?
I found "Battle for the promissed land" is a Delphi exe, but actually it is made with Game maker (a Delphi app itself), so the programmer did not really do much Delphi work, Game maker did it for him ;-). On Delphi Wiki please only add the really direct made Delphi apps.
