      according to
      They have released 1.2.8 build 14 released Nov 3, 2016.

      1.2.8.14-b7c8384 RELEASE

      Changes for this release:
      This has Imgur improvements for the newer API version, this is a backport from Greenshot 1.2.9
      With the move to a new hosting platform, we also noticed our update checks are way to often, this needed to be reduced.

      The chocolately system hasn't been updated yet.

      and they updated Imgur support again.

        I was going to say Chocolately wasn't updated.

        Oh wait, already did - whoops! my bad.

        I guess this is one of my older installs where I manually install GreenShot.

        Fixing that now.

            FFS the proper switch command is - (for single character commands) or -- (for long form)

            Just because they were nice and set it up to accept a / does not mean you should use it.

                    I would love to give credit to whoever first told me about it, but it was a coupe of years ago and I do not recall who it was. I swear by this app though. It makes things so easy.

                    I have to agree. I forget who showed me this but it's ridiculously handy, and the fact it gives you the X and Y axis lines on the screen for convenience is amazing! Always one of my first installs on any computer.

                          @dafyre showed me ShareX like that tool quite a bit didn't have the lag and unreliability issues I was having with Greenshot when I switched over.

                            that's funny, Paul Thurrott just posted about ShareX a few days ago.

                              I've used them both enough that I feel at home with Either. I'm primarily using ShareX these days.

                                It's a neat app but I didn't like all the menu things it inserted everywhere. I went back to snipping tool.

                                I do not make screen caps very often

                                    The minute you need to annotate beyond highlighting the snipping tool is out. It's a nice tool but doesn't hold a candle to Greenshot or ShareX.

                                      Here's the one I've been using (before I found out about ShareX today - I'm gonna check that one out as soon as I have time)
