My felicitations to contribute to the computer image world
I heard about your "nice" softare while reading on the web. As a retired early graphic artist, I was eager to try it. I guess I'll never know. See, I'm not very happy about Windows developments which are highly discutable, so I stayed at windows 7 and like millions of people, I'm very happy with it. When I tried to install your program, it asked me to install Framework 4.8.1, so I did... But unfortunately, the installation aborted saying that my operating system was uncompatible. It felt strange, because I read almost everywhere that it was. I finally tumbled on an article saying that Microsoft dropped the support for Win 7 and some others at the end of last year:

It would be nice and respectful that you tell people which operating systems ImageGlass is supporting at start, so I wouldn't had wasted my time on this... I find it unfortunate that your software depends on Microsoft Framework libraries...

ImageGlass 8 is built with .NET Framework 4.8, not 4.8.1 to support Windows 7 SP1.
You can find the Requirements in the release page of every version: https://imageglass.org/release/imageglass-8-7-11-6-38
You can download .NET 4.8 here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48. ImageGlass is not tested on Windows 7, but I know there are still a number of people who run ImageGlass on Windows 7.
