for this lovely detailed explanation of what seems like a great program. I read that this program needs .net, but for those of use forced to use windows 7 this is hardly a problem

Shotty as portable version works on Windows Vista and 7 (pre-installed .Net framework) and on XP machines with .Net framework additionally installed (with some limitations). For me it wasn't a problem, because I work in home on Win 7 and in school on Vista.

This is a really impressive program![Biggrin](https://portableapps.com/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/biggrin.gif)
Their homepage is pretty neat. I thought it was a screenshot of their program at first, but then I saw the Linux style scrollbar, and realized it was an actual HTML page.
I'll try it out, and I think there's a high chance that I'll package it.
Any chance for a portable release?
Edit: Ups, sorry. Apparently the installer already got a portable option included.
