jackie - the first two items were heads up messages. The third was a hint that maybe the Save button should read Save and Exit, or not exit. But on reflection I wanted to use it repeatedly, I actually tried to DnD an epub into it not the bat file, the scrambler
Normal usage would be one book.

In Win 7 the messages were a bit more obscure and tended to get confused with Permission faults. If you had UAC off you didn't see them, in Win 8/10 they've separated the 'check' into a feature called Smartscreen that you can disable separately.
Yes, once you click Run Anyway you wont see it again on that BAT file. All it actually does is to tick the unblock box :
I think you need security certs to make it 'safe'. You might want to write something in the 'blurb' about it

I assume Qt issues the message - it must query the Windows version and compare it to a list of known versions, if there's no match then it issues the message as a hint to the developer (in this case Kovid), that they there maybe some 'issues'. The Win 10 version I'm using was released earlier this month.
Again, you might want to write something in the 'blurb' about it.

I'd be shocked if there were any issues - it was just a thought that went to my fingers as I was typing my findings on the standalone version, I do quite a lot of my testing/experiments in portable.

Yes I did a some, scrambled ASCII was OK - almost as readable as the Russian
What I didn't find was any SVG's, where I thought there might have been some, there wasn't nary a one.
Should be able to do the PI tests later today.
I'd say its ready to go - proof, pudding and all that.
