Thanks for your work on this Andreas. I added in the personal use only alert on first run as requested by the publisher. I also added full portabilization of the settings file for things like custom screenshot directories. I also switched it to show the full app by default as that's the locally-installed default as well.

You're now an official dev with your own dev blog for posting about apps you're working on, portablization techniques, etc and listed on the team page. Welcome to the team! Smile

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Frankly I'm very surprised and of course delighted that the program PicPick has now integrated into the list of official releases. Likewise I thank you to involve myself in your team.

Also thank you for modifying some parts of the app. Especially I'm glad about your developed code in the file Custom.nsh, with which it's now possible to show a separate message box with the necessary content ("FOR PERSONAL(HOME) USE ONLY This version is provided as freeware for only personal use. In this case, you are granted the right to use this program free of charge. Otherwise, you need to pay for a license for commercial use.") at the first run of the app.

Since in your offered version no longer an online installer is used, the files installer.ini and PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh are superfluous. For more detailed information please look into my post with the subject helpful link (see also the following comment of the developer prapper).

Finally, I have a question, how can I continue to offer further updates of the program PicPick?

You're welcome, Andreas. The weekly updates have been an attempt to get through some of the backlog of good apps devs have done. I'm hoping the Drupal upgrade and switch to a fully DB driven app directory and updater will further help that by making releases much easier.

For future releases, just package it up and email it to us, usually via the developer email address on the contact page. Be sure and do it from the email address you have registered with your account so we know it's you.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
