Writes settings to: None

How to extract: Download the ZIP & RAR file and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking on TRrIDNet

According to homepage, .NET is required
you should add it in System requirements...

For the time being, I have no plans to include .Net apps in the database. Same goes for Java apps.

The command line version is not dependant on .net. I use it on my USB-memory. The same goes for tridscan, used to include new unknown filetypes.

It should be included, right ?

Unfortunately even the command line version have to be excluded from the Database. This is the policy: the Collection includes only GUI apps. It does not mean that console apps are not portable... of course

Does anyone know of a command-line app that is not portable?

That would be the most anal thing if such a beast exists!

I recently had a need for a file identifier and eventually found TrIDNET.
It works very well indeed and a point to make is that although the program may be a little old, the definitions are bang uptodate. Nonetheless it is true that it requires NET Framework.
Now that doesn't matter to me - the computers I use all have NET Framework so that is not an issue for me.
On that basis I thought I would post the info somewhere on PFC.
dotdot beat me to it by a long chalk!

I think the issue that arises is how to deal with programs like this (requiring NET Framework) or others needing say Java. It would be a pity if members didn't bother to post significant apps just because etc ...
I also accept that the mods have convincing counter-arguments.

JohnW..

I'm in basic agreement on your principle of not excluding Java programs (see my post earlier on Java Portablizer). NET though - can this be taken with you ? I suppose it the questions that must be asked are :
1. Are these 'platforms' that are required any different than needing the Windows platform in the first place ?
2. How 'pure' must the application be ?
3. What does the Freeware Portable site management want to promote. Is it the 'purity' or available solutions to the end user.

My view is that ultimately if the platform Java or NET can be taken with you, then these utilities should be included. However - its not my site !! Andrew has given his views on this subject & I respect those views - they have served this site well for a long time.

I would like to see further opinions on this matter.

@Devils Advocate
I agree with most of the points you make.

Obviously this specific topic is not the place for a full blown debate but I hope that Andrew etc does seek views.

I think we can all accept that this is not a simple issue.
In the end I'll fit in with the mods' decisions.
(Actually what else could I do !!)

We can use this forum to discuss command-line, Java or .NET apps. I just don't want to add them to the database, since I don't want the search results to be "polluted".

If someone is interested I can whip up a gui for the cmd version real quick.
