What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Please add a portable version for your program. I'd be more than happy to use 
the software if a portable version was available. 

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

You can use it as portable: http://getsharex.com/docs/#SettingsFolder
After install you can copy ShareX folder to anywhere.

Thanks but I mean, I don't want to install the program on my PC. In the article 
that you've linked to we still have to install it, and simply copy the 
settings. 

True portable versions doesn't leave any registry entries and doesn't require 
uninstallation. 

This is why I suggested for a portable version.

Hi, due to maintenance obligations (keep having to release two versions), we do 
not offer the same setup in different formats. You are welcome to use the 
installer to install to a temporary folder, make a copy, and uninstall it.

We will consider releasing non installer version in next release, because i 
checked in GitHub now and it allow to upload more than one file for one release.

Wow amazing news flexy! Thanks a lot. Guess many are going to be happy with 
this and I'll definitely spread the word. :)

By the way keep up the good work. Guess it'll be bye bye to Screenshot Captor 
portable (which I used earlier) when ShareX portable is released :)

I'm not sure how to handle auto updating in portable version.

Portable versions aren't supposed to be auto-updated I believe. So that doesn't 
matter.

I can't upload portable version to github because it show up before setup 
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14076298/ShareX/2014/01/VUBhENj7Oo.png) and this 
order also breaks auto updater because it checking first file.

The "P" of portable comes before "S" of Setup, and I believe it's being 
arranged in alphabetical order. 

So try changing the name to something like ShareX-8.5.0-Zipped or 
ShareX-8.5.0-Zip Portable something like that.

I know it is alphabetic order but i can't find proper good name which won't 
break naming consistency. ShareX-8.5.0-Zip.zip looks ugly in my opinion.
