Winsnap is a very small (132kb) screen capture utility that can be downloaded as an executable. For such a small size there are an excellent amount of features.

WinSnap is a small enhancement utility for taking and editing screenshots. It can easily capture windows of non-rectangular form with the background of your choice, automatically perform simple canvas transformations and coloring effects, add professional smoothing shadows in Photoshop style and more. Also, WinSnap supports variety of image formats and provides advanced auto-save features.

Not portable, writes to the registry.

Did you run the install package or the binary one? I could not fnd any changes.

Also some other programs write to the registry and are deemed portable so what exactly did it write?

The program saves the settings to the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alexander Avdonin\WinSnap\1.1
(and also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alexander Avdonin\WinSnap\1.1)

Still writes to the registry through.

Portable Edition uses only one Run key in HKCU. Perhaps I'll change this soon.

Sorry! My stupid mistake. I accidentally downloaded the non-portable versions aka "WinSnap binaries". I have posted WinSnap to the database.

Ah ha! So you do make mistakes! Well so much for an asian Jesus.

I used this app and while I'm not as fond of it as I am FastStone Capture, it certainly does a great job. I'd be a lot more interested in a portable TaskSwitchXP Pro though.

Ha ha! That seems like a good tagline that I might adopt:

"I am no Asian Jesus"

Really tickles me!

I screw up all the time, especially when I am sleep-deprived, and lately, that has been happening a lot...
