N.A.N.Y. 2021: RaptureReplica by KodeZwerg

@KodeZwerg: Thank you for the explanation. The location is indeed non protected (C:\PortableApps\RaptureReplica). I am not an administrator of my machine so I must use non protected locations--very frustrating. Anyway, I did get RR to save the ImageOpacity. To do this, I manually changed the "OpacityImage" key in the .ini file, as shown below:
--- Code: Text ---[Options]AutoSave=1OpacityGrab=100OpacityImage=255InvertColors=0
After I manually change the OpacityImage key to "255" then it saves as expected.
@Contro: Yes, ABBYY has the best object character recognition (OCR) technology! It is great. If anyone wants to check out a good freeware OCR tool, check out http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/ Capture2Text is very capable. It uses Tesseract OCR technology though (which is open source). I find that Tesseract will not capture a data table correctly, but tools using ABBYY technology will. For capturing scanned text documents, though, both technologies are equally good. If a person wishes to convert an entire large document, check out the free https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimagereader/

An odd bug just showed up... I think it might have to do with my dual-monitor setup(?) I managed to capture a quick screencast and save it as a .gif (attached below). Anyway, if I select a small rectangle, then an additional "ghost" rectangle is drawn below it. When I release the mouse button, the selection is extended so that it includes the ghost rectangle... Hard to explain, but check out the gif. Make sure to view at zoom = 100%.

Thanks alot for info about .ini problem!
Even if it dont appear on my machine, I will investigate, hopefully fix it and redo my mechanism to never need any write permissions anymore at all. (hello %appdata%)
What's fascinating by watching your GIF (that really helps!) is the fact that your build uses a rectangle technique that I allready dropped, just guessing: bad code from my side.
I will check it out!

Regarding the ghost rectangle, I think I figured out what causes it... My laptop has an external monitor that is larger than the monitor of the laptop. Win 10 lets you define how they line up with each other (screenshot)

I had it so that the bottom edges were lined up. Now it's changed so the tops are lined up as in the screenshot. Like this, RR seemed to work as expected (see new gif).
I think what happened is that some applications reference the location of the screen by comparing it with the top/left corner. The top/left corner is x0,y0. But if the other monitor is above this "y0" position, I think that certain apps get confused. One of my favorite little apps is CrossHair by Mike Lin https://download.cnet.com/developer/mike-lin/i-6285142 It sometimes has the same problem if I'm in dual monitor mode.
I'm not a programmer so I don't know if this is possible, but I think the solution might be to ensure that all of the graphics objects reference the x.y coordinates of monitor 1. Make sure that none of them reference the coordinates of the "work space" or the "desktop area." I don't know.... Like I said I'm not a programmer! :D

When next week a .ini-fixed version is uploaded, I will integrate a switch in .ini, to test out different mechanism.
