Great to hear that it works so long as it will not crash your PC.
I actually installed different versions of PicPicks on two separate PCs. Now I found out that both posts are right depending on which version of PicPick you use.
The latest version is 2.1.2 with the GUI changed and the steps mentioned on 23 Oct shall apply, but both "Save to Image File" and "Auto Save As" are to be ticked.
