Release Notes:
2.3.5 Development Test 1 (2010-10-22):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.3.5. What's New in 2.3.5.
- PicPick doesn't seem to create the MSN Toolbar registry entry anymore so code is removed.
2.3.4 Development Test 1 (2010-09-22):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.3.4.
2.3.3 Development Test 1 (2010-07-30):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.3.3.
- PicPick now creates a registry entry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSN\Toolbar) on first run which the launcher will delete on exit.
2.3.2 Development Test 1 (2010-07-15):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.3.2.
2.3.1 Development Test 1 (2010-07-08):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.3.1.
- Added CheckForPlatformSplashDisable (not tested yet).
2.3.0 Development Test 1 (2010-06-04):
- Added new PicPick EULA.
2.2.9 Development Test 2 (2010-05-17):
- Run at startup reg key has been moved from HKLM to HKCU.
- Version checking is now only done in CustomCodePostInstall and on first run. As it should have been initially (not sure what I was thinking there).
- Improved check for GIMP Portable (was writing invalid path if not found).
- NOTE: The per-system INI number issue has been fixed in PicPick 2.2.9.
2.2.9 Development Test 1 (2010-05-14):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.9.
- Updated language support in installer and launcher.
- Improved checks for X:\Documents\Pictures and GIMP Portable.
2.2.7 Development Test 1 (2010-04-14):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.7.
-
PicPick now generates a random, system-specific number in the INI which will cause the 'Program Options.../About' dialog to appear on first run with all items checked. Just untick them all and exit the dialog. You'll have to do this *every* time you change systems! I would call any attempt to get round this "cracking", so I'm not going to try
:-)
2.2.6 Development Test 2 (2010-04-13):
- PicPick no longer creates a desktop shortcut on first run.
2.2.6 Development Test 1 (2010-04-06):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.6.
- Added Slovak & Slovenian language support.
- Added 'donate' link to help file.
- App directory is preserved on upgrade again, app version number is removed from launcher and MD5 is removed from installer. It should now survive a failed download attempt and supports manual install/upgrade.
- Removed the abilty to change the name of the app directory and program executable with the INI.
2.2.4 Development Test 1 (2010-03-22):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.4.
2.2.3 Development Test 1 (2010-03-08):
- UserType check wasn't working. Fixed.
- Removed DefaultData. Launcher now writes the files on first run.
2.2.2 Development Test 1 (2010-02-21):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.2.
2.2.0 Development Test 1 (2010-01-20):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.2.0.
- PicPick doesn't create 'APPDATA\picpick' anymore. Backup/restore code removed.
- Added Catalan & Persian language support.
- Removed Portugese language support.
- App directory isn't preserved on upgrade anymore, so make a backup first. The downloaded file has changed without re-numbering once already since 2.2.0 so I'm fully expecting it to fail again soon.
2.1.5 Development Test 1 (2009-12-07):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.1.5.
- Creation of 'APPDATA\picpick' still not fixed in app.
- Version number of app written to 'picpick.ini' by launcher again (otherwise language switching fails on first run).
2.1.4 Development Test 1 (2009-11-17):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.1.4.
- According to the changelog, the "Potable version ini problem" (which I'm presuming is the creation of 'APPDATA\picpick') has been fixed. Not here it hasn't. The folder is still being backed up but it isn't being saved back to 'Data\settings' anymore as I can't see that anything ever gets put in there. So you can delete 'Data\settings\picpick', presuming it's empty.
- Fixed bug in $EXISTSFONTCACHE. Gotos were the wrong way round. Sorry about that. You can delete 'username\Local Settings\Application Data\GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT' (any local app that needs it will recreate it). Probably.
- Writing the INI string "Language=" has been removed as this was only in to remain compatible with older versions. Language setting is "Language2=" (and has been for a while).
- Added fix for new "Spanish LA" language file name. Which I'm presuming is Spanish International.
- The launcher used to change the version number of the app in 'picpick.ini' but that seems to be being handled automatically now so code is removed.
- 256 icon removed from appicon.ico.
- This one is never an easy upgrade!
2.1.3 Development Test 1 (2009-11-08):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.1.3.
-
PicPick now creates a folder in 'APPDATA'. The launcher backs it up then restores it.
EDIT: Apparently this is a bug in the app which will be fixed in the next release.
2.1.2 Development Test 1 (2009-09-21):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.1.2.
- Fix for file "GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT" left over in "Local Settings\Application Data".
2.1 Development Test 1 (2009-09-07):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.1.
- Language switching in the app has changed slightly.
- The launcher now sets the app's version number in "picpick.ini" to ensure language switching is upgraded properly. This means that the launcher is definitely NOT compatible with any other version of the app.
- Tweak to automatic language switching code (not related to the app's language switching).
- MD5 updated in "installer.ini".
- "Category" in "appinfo.ini" is now correct.
2.0.3 Development Test 1 (2009-07-30):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.0.3.
- Download link and MD5 updated.
- Updated "DefaultData\settings\picpick.ini" with new version number (for new installations).
2.0.1 Development Test 1 (2009-07-17):
- PicPick has been updated to 2.0.1.
- Download link and MD5 updated.
- Updated "DefaultData\settings\picpick.ini" with new version number (for new installations).
2.0 Development Test 1 (2009-07-14): Initial release
Launcher Features...
- Paths follow changing drive letter.
- Auto Save directory set to "Documents\Pictures".
- External Program set to "PortableApps\GIMPPortable\GIMPPortable.exe".
- Automatic language switching when used with the PortableApps.com Platform.
- Respects settings of locally installed version ("Run Program at Startup").
- All the usual good stuff...

You may have PicPick Portable Test 1 already installed.
I advise a clean installation of version 2.0, although a report from horusofoz indicates an upgrade will be successful.
