Generally good, thoug the search function is primitive

Looks like Treepad Software sold their domain treepad.com . https://treepad.com/

Rest in peace, Henk Hagedoorn.

@kiwichick It does!

Absolutely excellent program that saved a ton of room on my hard drive, clearing out duplicates as well as several multiple-size images from an earlier effort to compress some really big photos. The best part is how it automatically sees two photos that are already very similar and helps you pick the better one to archive. There were only one or two false-positives in a batch of hundreds (a concert picture somehow got paired with a painting of Mozart).

Now at Version 1.2

I recommend using Everything (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1479) instead and organize results by date. This program runs a little faster than Everything's initial drive search and then sort, but solves the issue of not being able to resize the DriveSort the window, not being able to change the top files to 50 or 200, or the ability to update automatically with new file changes.

links broken

@ Emka: Linked to Softpedia.

@JudyGarland: Have you tested on WinXP?  I ask because sometimes we list "system requirements / runs on" rather than "supported".  For example, a lot of tools here on the site were built before it came out, but we'll list Win10 if it's functional in testing.

@webfork: I copy and paste from 'basic (system) requirements' section:
Windows Vista/7/8/10 or WINE to create the USB (Win 98/XP/2K WILL NOT Work!)
I'm able to 'run' it under XP though, but I have no idea if it actually 'works', either partially or totally.
Devs say it doesn't.

@JudyGarland: thanks for the additional detail. As usual, billon sorted it out.

ScreenToGif would be even better, if it was not for its unwieldy Net Framework 4.6.1 addiction
(2.5 GB of available hard disk space required).

For me, I'll stick with leaner, self-contained GifCam instead, thank you.

The editor for this program just gets better and better. I've really enjoyed seeing it's progress over time.

Some interesting news:
- Updated to 2.37 2022, May, 1st
- Repackaged since 2.36 (see https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/releases)
"New installer and portable versions with the full package (no .NET 6 download required) are available alongside with the lighter versions, which still require the installation of .NET 6 desktop runtime."

So, now we can have either:
- a self contained "ScreenToGif.2.37.Portable.x64.zip" at 67.7 MB
- or a minimal "ScreenToGif.2.37.Light.Portable.x64.zip" at 6.96 MB... but we need .NET 6 installed on the PC :)

I will try it now, for sure :)

Version 2.7 64bit beta is available on web site. Seems to work fine.

Wrong version number, should be 5.4. Picked up Nexus font instead of Nexus file.

Can I rename files in multiple sub-folders at once?

The stable version (as linked here) doesn't work after the latest Windows update. The beta version (available from the website) works fine, though.

Hi, the link downloads the latest version (v5.11.3) and it didn't prompt for portable install. Also, Windows stopped the file running and I had to manually allow it.

@kiwichick888:
> Q: Where is the portable version?
> A: When installing the tweaker, choose the Portable type of install, as shown on the image... The portable version will be extracted to the selected folder.

Does anyone know an alternative to Pixie that works well on HiDPI monitors? Pixie doesn't correctly detect the current mouse's pixel on high monitor resolutions well.

@Mixture - Thanks! I decided to go with the original inspiration for Power Toys's Color Picker - https://github.com/martinchrzan/ColorPicker. It's not portable, but it is simple like Pixie. Colora was also a consideration, but it was a bit less easy to use, so I decided not to go with it. ColorGrab is a no-go because it uses Electron which is too heavy for a simple color picker utility.
