Hi!
I'm seeing some Discontinued Applications, like SysInternals Suite, Handbrake, and some others.
Handbrake for example is very useful.
Is there a reason to discontinue the distribution of these applications?
Thanks

Ok, i understand that. But is easier for the SyMenu user to update the applications using the update feature than have to download and uncompress the zip file.
?????
If we decide to switch from an application to the corresponding portable version the reason is only to grant you the maximum portability.
In the magical SyMenu world the update process is exactly the same when you download an exe package or a zip package. Indeed as a normal user, if you want, you don't need to deal with the package type.
To make an example the Handbrake portable version from https://portapps.io/ is cleaner than the previous version and SyMenu will take care for its updates from now on.
I don't know if the switch makes sense for you now.

Some applications have the portable version but using the auto update from SyMenu is much easier.
Again, favoring portability doesn't imply we lose the automatic update feature. SyMenu rulez with both options

The SysInternals has lots of small applications/utilities like NirSoft and having them on another tab would have a better organization
I agree, well I agree with the assertion that Sysinternals and NirSoft are GREAT suites, but remember that you can use the filter search to have a list full with Sysinternals programs only.
In a future version I will implement an option to save a custom search. So if you often search for Sysinternals, you can save the search and have it in a form of a button. Nice and comfortable, more than a tabbed solution.

I love when the users contribute with their opinions to SyMenu. If we've reached this point is thanks to you all!
