Bug in new PicPick version, links for old versions?

Submitted by loveleeyoungae on May 1, 2024 - 9:00am

Hi.

The new PicPick version has a bug on my computer, always captures zoomed-in screenshots?! So beside reporting the bug to the PicPick team, I want to download an old version for temporary use at the moment. However, tried looking on SourceForge host and it turned out that there is no PicPick files there.

Where could I download the old versions? (The previous working version on my PC may be around 6 months ago).
Thanks.

ExifToolGui Portable (remove %APPDATA% ?)

Submitted by rbon on April 23, 2024 - 1:24pm

Hi,
I have saw that inside file C:\PortableApps\ExifToolGUIPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\ExifToolGuiPortable.ini there is this instruction:

[DirectoriesMove]
ExifToolGuiConfig=%APPDATA%\ExifToolGui

Probably You can remove the instructions %APPDATA% becasuse since rel. 6.3.0 the author has created a new command line parameter: /IniPath=path.

Here there is a snapshof of his article (doc):

Python scripts register conflicts

Submitted by Kapitano on April 13, 2024 - 12:43am

I'm running Python 2.7 scripts in GIMP. They seem to work okay, but there's always an MS-DOS window that pops up saying "Warning: Two different plugins tried to register" for about 200 plugins. The names all start with "Gegl", and I can find no files corresponding to them.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Make Blender more portable

Submitted by Raimund58 on December 21, 2023 - 11:09am

I just saw that you don't make use of this feature.
Maybe you don't even know about it. I at least didn't know about it till today.

TLDR: Create a new empty folder called "config" in the Blender Path to have all config stuff next to the binary. (color management, addons, settings)

FreeCAD Black Screen workaround

Submitted by kr4z33 on November 14, 2023 - 3:31pm

Got a window filled with black when attempting to start freeCAD's portable app (v. 0.21.1).

Symptoms are described here:
https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=36087&start=40

As discussed in the FreeCAD forum, renaming FreeCAD's bin/opengl32sw.dll to opengl32.dll fixed the issue. The Path to the file is something like ...\PortableApps\FreeCADPortable\App\FreeCAD\bin

Hope that helps, thanks!
