Just downloaded what Portable Freeware says is version 2.0.1. File properties shows version 1.5.0.0. Running program shows version 2.0.2 Product site does not appear to give any version information.

AndTheWolf: You're correct that the file self-identifies as 1.5.0.0, but the program lists the 2.0.1 version number at the top of the window. Since the developer is active here in the forums, I'm going to assume we've got the right version and the file id bit wasn't intentional.

Thanks for the heads-up -- we've certainly been wrong about version numbers before.

Very impressed by this program so far. Keep everything copied in one place and get details, thumbnails/preview about the copied file (or URL) so you can get context that you don't necessarily have with other copy managers.

can anyone get the portable versions to launch? the only way it works is if you install it

joby_toss on 2011-07-01 06:22

1.5.11 version works OK on my win7x64.

Who cares for all the glitter effects that can hog memory. It's real use is to organize screen clutter which it does very well. The biggest feature for me is having multiple desktops with different icons and wallpaper, screensavers, etc. Of course that's just one of many features available. Simply put one of the best virtual desktop managers around. My only complaint is that it requires admin rights.

Hello all,
Version 3.2 brings the Windows 8 style ribbon interface, which I truly dislike. The previous version (PicPick version 3.1.9) was OK for my needs, and conformed well to my Windows 7 operation system, but I don't have any copies of it. Does anybody know where I can find the latest version (3.1.9) with the Windows 7 interface?
Thanks a lot.

@emrea

I found it here - http://www.filehorse.com/download-picpick/11743/

It may be available elsewhere too.

You'll need to follow the extraction process above, checking the executable version for PicPick will tell you for sure this is v319. It looks like it based on the size of the installer, 12.3 MB, v320 is smaller, 8.7 MB.

emrea on 2012-11-27 20:30

@Mike.S.G. Thanks a lot! This is the version I have been looking for. I had searched for it at OldApps.com, etc. obviously without any success, and even sent an e-mail to the software developers but rushed here fearing that this certain version might be erased from the virtual space quickly (that's how paranoid I am :)
Again thanks a lot for your help.

StrokesPlus v2.7.1 Updated

Checker on 19 Mar 2013

StrokesPlus is a a mouse gesture recognition program that allows you to automate repetitive tasks by simply drawing a symbol with your mouse or performing mouse and/or keyboard modifiers to launch predefined action(s). Includes a powerful but lightweight embeddable scripting language (Lua), endless gesture and modifier combinations, granular control over program settings, and actions and the possibility to create global hotkeys for actions without using the mouse.

Non-Admin users: the application will not be able to control other programs running with admin privileges (e.g. maintenance, antivirus, etc.)

Category:
System Requirements: WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies: Administrator rights are necessary for full functionality.
Stealth: ? Yes
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice.
  2. Select subfolder (depending on your OS).
  3. Launch StrokesPlus.exe.
What's new?
  • Updated mouse hook to have more checks for Training Mode, to prevent unexpected errors/crash.
  • Added acDisableCapture() and acEnableCapture(), these are different than acDisable or acDisableNext as they control a global flag which tells S+ to forward/ignore the mouse events until acEnableCapture is called, or the Lua states are reinitialized. There aren't many use cases for this pair of actions, but there's at least one person who could use them.

I'd like to note that for Windows Vista+, if you extract the signed version of S+ to a folder under Program Files and manually install the StrokesPlus.cer certificate into Trusted Root Certification Authorities, S+ can be run without administrative privileges and still interact with programs which are running with administrative privileges as well as interact with Windows 8 screens (Start screen, task switcher, etc.).

Yes, I also understand that at that point (installing a certificate), you're no longer really using S+ in a truly portable fashion; but wanted to mention it anyway =)

Anyone know of a Sticky Note freeware that incorporates smileys?

Em Jay on 2010-06-25 22:09

Is there a way to transfer all of my notes from version 5 to version 6? I have about 100 notes in version 5... Thanks.

I like this app very much; use it all of the time to keep track of all sorts of stuff...

SH on 2011-02-26 18:51

Nice little portable app, picks up where Win7 Sticky notes leave off.
