Hello. Yes, that looks a bit strange, and we still do not know the cause of this problem - is there a way to get in touch with you via TeamViewer for a short debugging session? P.S. To convert such a 'dos app' to png or jpg, simply select it in Explorer, press F2 (rename) and add '.png' or '.jpg' (without quotes) to the end of the name.

I'm sorry for the delay in responding - I've been busy with the next update. Can you get in touch in TeamViewer tomorrow at any suitable time for you? P.S. Unfortunately, I cannot neither text, nor call you, but I can send you an email from our business email, if you would like to.

What I would really like to do is send you the screenshots that are now .exe files and see if you can covert them to screenshots - I really have no intention of using fireshot for screenshots again unless I know they will not save in ,exe files. I really need those screenshots I took - they were for a client before their website was removed so we could replicate the website elsewhere -now they are useless to me and of no help. IU have tried renaming to no avail do u have an alternate way to convert to screenshot please send me an email address where I can forward the files to you thank you
