Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

Hi guys,
I love this program but I downloaded the latest version and I don't see it as portable.

It's saving the setting file in AppData. What am I doing wrong??

C:\Users\PortableUser\AppData\Roaming\Capture2Text\Capture2Text.ini

Useful and lightweight (~5MB RAM). Don't see any settings saved to AppData for ver 3.9, which works with XP.

The Troubleshooting & FAQ section, item 11 on the help page states that the program's settings are saved to AppData. That means the new version of the program is not designed to be fully portable.

Use the --portable param to save settings in the app folder.

I downloaded and am running Download Capture2Text_v3.7.zip
I left the prefs as is .
But when I click win +q over a screen area
I don't get any blueBox .
The window which my cursor is over
goes dimmer , and when I click another win +q
the window gets brighter again . But nothing gets copied to the cipboard .
try "Esc" key to reset and then use Win+Q combo again
