[Outdated] PicPick Portable 2.3.5 Development Test 1

What are your install issues?
What is the error message text?
Can you supply a screen shot of the error?
What is your operating system?
What permissions do you have on the system?
Where do you have PicPick Portable installed to (path and media)?
Have you tried installing the local version of PicPick?

I have been using PicPick Portable on a regular basis for over a year across multiple machines, operating systems, networks and permission settings. Every issue I encountered has been resolved so what ever your problem is, if it is specific to the portable version, it can be fixed.

That seems to be a general issue with online-installers where the download-file contains version-numbers (which change if updated so that the installer can't find the old file anymore if it's not kept online by the original developer).

There is no other way than updating the installer every time, the app is updated. Or maybe change the criteria the installer looks for, e.g. appx_v1.2.(var>=3) (sorry for my amateur descriptions, did my last codings some years ago).

The problem with this is that an app could be destroyed as it is updated by deleting the old one before the new one cannot be installed.
Prapper did a good job to prevent this with the installer for glary-utilities, maybe it found its way into this installer as well

I found version 2.3.4 but it was a zipped file.
Is there a way for the installer to look at a PicPick file folder instead of going to the website and downloading the latest version?
That is the way it worked before wasn't it?

Any planned alternatives?

Thanks for all the work you have put into it

That's a bummer because I tried it and liked it (got it working by downloading the latest version and copying the appropriate files to the PAF version that was missing them). I figured something like this could replace about 3 or 4 of my apps.

Does anybody know of an alternative, preferably open source? If not, I guess I'll stick with what I have. Thanks for your efforts, they are appreciated.

Fairly understandable, all that toolbar hassles everytime, plus the constant updates. Still, I’m sad to hear that you’ll have to stop it, prapper. It’s one of the most useful apps still, I think, if you’re into documentation.

Then again, he never implemented one feature an older version by some OEM had, and which I like: inverting the selection (i.e. to blur the NON-selected area).

I’ve been using IDAImageEditor Portable 3.0 Development Test 1 and quite like WinSnap (shareware, also available as portable version) but often come back to PicPick.

Oh well. One last update then, and see how long it stays …

Can someone please pick this up? I had a look at the latest version, and it's even nicer than the version I have on my stick. This is a *really* useful application, one of my most used tools on my stick.
