I came across PostImage.

Postimage offers a screen capture / upload tool.

I guess it's Portable?

Tested Postimage... Not Portable

history.dat in AppData\Local\Postimage.org\Postimage
Postimage shortcut in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Postimage.org\Postimage
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run: Postimage

Very cool app, shame it's not portable.

Of course not for submission, but personal use.

It has some very interesting features, I am tempted to request a portable version:

PostImage UI looks very similar to LightShot. The latter lacks in built-in editor but has on option to edit the image online.

Good catch, tproli. It does look the same. Is Lightshot open source?

That was quick, thanks, guinness.

Will you be adding this to your VBScript collection on SoftwareSpot as well?

[tproli]

Lightshot open source?

I don't think so, haven't find anything on it. According to Softpedia it is freeware.

There is also a yaP version available upon request

I would have been quicker, but I was super lazy. I will be adding when I can figure out the issue with deleting the registry key.

@moderator

Please split and move the Postimage posts to the submission sub-forum. Thank you.

@I am Baas

the QTProject registry entries I was questioning in the comments section are something to do with file dialogues as it only happens when I use the app to open or save an image.

You are absolutely correct, writes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QtProject\OrganizationDefaults. Thanks.
