NOTE: JPE SnapShot is still a work-in-progress.

JPE SnapShot may be used to take system registry and file system special folder contents snapshots before and after running a portablized application in order to verify that the JauntePE runtime redirects as required.

JPE SnapShot is run external to the portablized application. So it is able to capture non-portable changes that the JauntePE runtime might miss or unexpectedly allow through.

JPE SnapShot operates similarly to RegShot, if you're familiar with that venerable tool that's used frequently by portability testers. You can think of JPE SnapShot as a JauntePE-specific version of RegShot.

One nice feature of JPE SnapShot is that you don't need to specify the file system directories to watch - it will figure out what they are and add them to its watch list automatically.

It also will not automatically create a snapshot file during the comparison step. Instead, it logs the comparison report to its main "edit" window. You then have the choice of whether to save the contents or not.

Other than the additional snapshot capabilities, JPE SnapShot behaves like a Notepad equivalent.
