Saves StylePixConfig.asl to a \Hornil\StylePix folder in %APPDATA%

and to the registry @

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hornil\StylePix\RecentFileList
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hornil\StylePix
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tsp
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\StylePix.Document

I've been using StylePix version 1.8.3 for quite some time, in fact since before I discovered the Portable Freeware Collection. I initially installed StylePix the conventional way, then copied the StylePix application folder to another location on my HD and uninstalled the app. It's now running from a subfolder of My Documents (in Win7), and leaves the same traces behind as its so-called "portable" version - no more, no less - so if it's going to be used on my HD, there's little point in downloading the portable version. I'm not desperate enough to enlist the aid of a secondary utility to "virtualize" the settings.

Anyway, I tried the latest version (1.9.0), but various changes to the user interface annoyed me, as I had everything set up the way I liked, so I reverted to 1.8.3. StylePix is great for pixel editing, and I unassociated MS Paint (which I hate) in favor of StylePix. It handles transparency very well, so I often create icons with it. Unfortunately it can't be trusted with the photos I've taken, as it will delete their EXIF info when saving, so I use XnView for enhancing my photos.

After reading, I moved this thread to the "Not Portable" thread, then re-read and wondered if this was actually program settings, or just the program being very unstealth. Could this still be considered a submission?

Not Portable

Application Setting in AppData

This is one the programs that are portables only when running from a removable drive. When you launch them from a fix HD they will store its settings outside the app folder.
Since they are portables/not portables at the same time (depending on the user), it seems to me that the better place is the Discussion subforum.

I agree. Maybe then one of the members can discover whatever is checked to flag portability...

Yeah I just tested this out today and it's very, very good. GIMP still has some aspects I don't think it can replace, but I'm definitely adding this to my collection.

Can you post the JauntePE tools to portabilize this?
