Photo Scan Cropper 0.6.2

Photo Scan Cropper is a local desktop utility for Windows. It detects rectangular printed photos on scanned sheets, lets the user correct the detected frames, and exports each photo as a separate JPEG file.

The application works locally. It does not upload photos, connect to online services, collect analytics, or include advertising.

Quick start from source on Windows

1. Install Python 3.11 or later from python.org.
2. During installation, enable Add Python to PATH.
3. Extract this archive to a separate folder.
4. Double-click install_and_run.bat once.
5. For later launches, use run.bat.

Build a portable Windows version

1. Double-click build_exe.bat.
2. Wait until the build is complete.
3. Open dist\PhotoScanCropper.
4. Distribute the whole PhotoScanCropper folder, not only PhotoScanCropper.exe.

A portable ZIP can be created by double-clicking package_portable.bat after the EXE build.

Security checks

Run:

run_security_checks.bat

This performs syntax checks, algorithm regression tests, localization tests, export safety tests and a conservative static scan for network, shell execution, dynamic code execution and unsafe deserialization APIs.

Read SECURITY.md, PRIVACY.md and SECURITY_AUDIT.md before publishing a release.

For public releases, also run run_extended_code_audit.bat and run_dependency_audit.bat, then follow RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md. The portable build includes readable third-party license texts.

Windows startup fix in 0.6.2

The startup language selector is now a visible standalone window. If the application still does not open, run run_debug.bat and review launch_debug.log.

License-complete portable packaging in 0.6.2

The Windows packaging scripts now copy license notices for the embedded Python, Tcl and Tk runtime in addition to the runtime Python packages. Before creating a public ZIP, package_portable.bat runs verify_portable_release.py and stops if a required notice is missing.
