Some users have already reported it. It is a good all-in-one application for software developers, graphic designers and home user. It has many tools: capture tool, image editor, color picker, color palette, pixel ruler, protractor, crosshair, whiteboard and etc.

It is presented as portable, someone have tested it? Very good software

It is portable (and "stealth"). Tested with Sandboxie and RegFromApp.

I don't consider this portable. It needs to remap the PrintScreen key to do screen captures. I already have that mapped to another program, as it might well be on other computers on which I might try to use this program.

If there is another way to use this without remapping keys on my computer, please let me know. This looks promising, but I can't use it if I have to map keys on any computer I use it on.

I'm not sure i fully understand your issue, but I'll try to answer anyway.

PicPick doesn't need to remap any key; you can disable hotkeys by choosing "Disabled" profile.
I personally use "HoverSnap" profile.

If you want your own hotkeys, you must choose the "Custom" profile from the "Hotkeys" menu and set it up any way you want. The "PrintScreen" key doesn't have to be used at all. The hotkeys settings are remembered from PC to PC as they are stored in "picpick.ini" file and you don't have to set them up every time you switch PCs.



Hope I got it right!

Joby,

Thanks for replying. I did not know about the profiles, but unfortunately PickPic still needs to map the PrintScreen key to itself even with the hotkeys disabled.

I also use FastStone Capture (the paid version), which uses the PrintScreen key. So PickPic cannot operate on my system due to its requirement to map the PrintScreen key.

You may wonder why I even care about PickPic if I use FastStone Capture. The answer is that I am always looking for good portable, free screen capture programs to recommend to my friends -- and I had thought PickPic might be the answer.

So, it seems to me that PickPic would work portably only if the computer on which it is being used does not have any other software that maps the PrintScreen key, but it will not work on systems that have already mapped that key with another program. For me, that makes PickPic Portable-Lite rather than fully Portable.

I don't know why the program needs to map any key after choosing the "disabled" profile. It could just use mouse actions, which would make it meet my definition of fully portable.

Thanks again.

I think I understand now.

Here is what I did:
1. start FSCapture with PrtSc key mapped to take full screen screenshot
2. start PicPick with hotkeys disabled

Results:
1. PrtSc key takes full screen shots for FSCapture
2. right click on PicPick tray icon -> choose Screen Capture and mouse click on Capture Ful-screen or Capture Active Window or Capture Region or Capture Fixed Region or FreeHand Capture or Repeat Last Capture -> they all work as expected (screenshots go to PicPick)
3. BUT if one chooses Capture Window Control, then the little window saying you have to push PrtSc key pops up and there is nothing to do: the screenshot automatically goes to FSCapture.

This is a very minor impediment for me (and for 99% of PicPick users I guess).

Anyway, PicPick version 2.0 is right around the corner and maybe this minor issue will be fixed for the other 1% .

Joby,

Thanks for taking the time to follow up on this and testing further.

Yes, my problem was that I almost always need the Capture Window Control option for capturing, because I need it to scroll to capture the full window.

It would seem that this would be a minor fix to PickPic, since all the other capturing options can work with a mouse action and do not require any usage of keys like PrintScreen. As you say, hopefully this will be changed in an upcoming update. (I hope the author has seen this thread on TPFC.)

I do think this is probably a problem for more than 1% of users as you estimated, but I agree that it can be considered a relatively minor problem. Personally, I will still, however, consider PicPick to be portable-lite until this issue is fixed.

Just stumbled upon other side of this issue ... this one I don't like at all.

I use the last free version of FastStone Capture since long time ago ..but I'm considering to "migrate" to PicPick that seems to be more featured and completely free, in particular now that will be released a new 2.0 version widely improved. But given that it is a young software, I'd like to know opinions of users that use it.

I use 3 softwares for screen captures:
1. ScreenshotCaptor (Thank you Mouser!) - I love it because it is complete (this also makes it a bit "heavy");
2. PicPick - very fast but the scrolling window capture is failing half the times;
3. FSCapture (more and more rarely) - the scrolling window capture is working flawlessly.

Seems that in the 2.0 version will be removed scrolling feature, isn't it?

What makes you say that?
I can still see "Capture Window Control" option in version 2.0 preview shots.

Yes sorry, what I saw that seems to be removed is the Capture WebPage feature. But obviously it is only an opinion seen the screenshot.
