Thank you, I didn't know Kidsnapper, it seems unique and useful, I will test it. Kidsnapper is also available at Softpedia.

Unfortunately Kidsnapper is not portable, it writes to registry:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\kidsnapper
so I won't be using it any more.

Will yaP it and retest. Will include those results whenever I retest in the future.

Latest updates. New or updated entries are highlighted in green on the spreadsheet. Snippaste was moved to category three since it can save directly to file, clipboard, and using "save as".

I see that you have included QIP Shot in your tests. Is there a way to make QIP Shot portable?

I used a yaP launcher with the following settings, I didn't note that in the results. I'll make the correction.

; configuration file for yaP v0.6 (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name:
; version:
; website:

[GENERAL]
application = App\QIPShot.exe
; commandline =
; workdir =

[BEFORE]
dir = %Appdata%\QipShot\history
file = %Appdata%\QipShot\settings.ini

Since there are several settings in the QipShot directory, a more efficient setting would be:

[BEFORE]
dir = %Appdata%\QipShot

Added Screen Block Grabber and moved PostImage from category 2 to category 3. PostImage straddles the line between 2 and 3. Although it can save directly to file, the default location is the desktop and that can't be changed in the settings.
