I tried 'minicap -captureregselect -printpreview' but it didn't appear to operate any differently?

I've just given Minicap a go. There were a few things I noticed:

1) There's no portable version I could see available for download. So I installed it, copied the directory and uninstalled it - and it worked - but it would be nice to have a native portable download for such a tiny useful app :)

2) The default savefile format is GIF. Really?! It seems to remember JPG when changed, but this is a strange choice for default, I thought!

3) I don't think I can live without the advanced print layout options in Captor - the full-page screendump you get is a bit much, and a waste of ink for me. Unless I'm missing the option somewhere?

Otherwise, it almost works great - and I can see this would be the better app to launch 'on demand' - it's just a bit *too* cut back at present in terms of printing.

I'm using the portable version of Captor, and would rather not run it constantly in the background. Would it be possible to use a command-line switch to launch captor straight into 'selected region' mode?

I use another portable app called Quick Cliq, and this shows a fast-launch menu when I press a particular mouse button. I was hoping to put a shortcut to Captor on this menu, so if I want to capture something I can just launch this link - straight to drawing the region for capture - then close it again when I have printed or saved the screengrab.

Would this be possible? Any help would be appreciated :)
