I figured that was more important than saving a couple meg :) In terms of portability, totally agree - that is how I think all applications should work. I'll add that and a ZIP version for release to the TODO list. The clipboard capturing sounds like a good idea too.

Although your version is a little big (2,10 MB) compared to originals 314 KB of uncompressed size. I prefer orig for now :) It would be great making this utility portable, thus making it write it's settings in it's own directory, making it use relative path for Download directory and finally making an archived version available for downloading. Making an option in Preferences that automatically captures clipboard url(s) would also be great, but current feature (right click > Add from Clipboard) is not to complicated either I guess. You should probably update/add the about dialog also, with current maintainer and version. Glad to hear the project is not dead.

Will try and spend some more time on it soon. Actually I just tested it in Win7 and it seems fine, so it must just be something weird with Vista. Will try and spend some more time on it soon.

Getting Vista and Windows 7 support in there is on my list of things to do for v1.2.4. I will try and have a crack on the weekend. No not yet!

Loved the program, but it doesn't work with the newer os's from ms. I was wondering if anyone’s gotten this to work in windows vista yet.
