HyperSnap 7.29.10 (Portable Install) Not Registering Print-Screen Hotkey, + Other Bug

I'm running HyperSnap 7.29.10 from a portable install. I have Hotkeys enabled. I assigned PrintScreen to capture a region. On my home PC (Win7 Ultimate), the capture region hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+R) works, but PrintScreen does not. I've verified that the issue is not my keyboard. To my knowledge, I do not have any other programs running that bind to PrintScreen.
 
On my other systems, PrintScreen works as expected.
 
I also ran into another bug. HyperSnap 7.29.10 does not respect any environment variables such as USERPROFILE. If I want to capture screenshots to a %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\Screenshots\HyperSnap folder, HyperSnap creates a folder named "%USERPROFILE%" rather than expanding USERPROFILE to C:\Users\Me. This would have been useful because I could make relative / per-computer assignments for this portable app.
 
Also, have you considered creating a PortableApps.com installer?

I'm seeing the PrintScreen issue on Windows 7, though. 2 of the 3 PC's run it on Win7 fine, but my home PC doesn't work.

Is that an April Fools answer?
 
Seriously, though. If you can tell me more about how the program registers and listens for the keypress, I can debug things from my end.

Have you tried using SetWindowsHookEx ( This is essentially what AutoHotkey uses when you enable keyboard hooks (#UseHooks). It stops using RegisterHotKey (which even the AHK devs admit as being faulty) and uses SetWindowsHookEx.
 
Here is more background on hooking.

 
(Ignore the performance warning if you bind to keyboard/mouse. I have not seen any issues, and I run an AHK script in the background.)
 
For some under-the-hood examples of SetWindowsHooksEx, try this:
 
Here is an AutoIt example that re-registers Win-Tab.

 
Here is an AutoHotkey script example that uses SetWindowsHookeEx to tap into the hook chain to disable the mouse while typing.

 
Please don't pull support for this key feature.
 
My workaround (since you probably won't fix this for my v7) will be to use an AHK script to map PrintScreen to Ctrl-Shift-R using a hook. As long as HS7 can register Ctrl-Shift-R with RegisterHotKey, my AHK script will work.
