Hi,

I've just downloaded ScreenToGif.2.40.1.Light.Portable.x64, it's twice bigger than ScreenToGif.2.40.Light.Portable.x64 , why ?

I miss the days when ScreenToGif was around 5MB...

The difference between 2.40 vs 2.40.1 is that now it targets Windows 10.
I'm going to check if there's any way to reduce the file size.

You mean in VS ? which version it was targeting before ? That's a bit crazy than just changing the target will make the exe two times bigger.
