Releases: RamonUnch/AltSnap
AltDrag 1.35
-
Changed: to simplify the code and avoid bugs, the Ctrl is no longer suggested as a hotkey and if using it (using the ini file) other Ctrl functions will be unavailable (it was buggy in the first place anyway).
-
Fixed a typo in the Alt+Tab scroll actions that lead to some bugs.
-
Fixed: Ctrl in some cases does not work properly to retain window in current monitor and would be stuck sometime (thanks redactedscribe). To avoid those problems that are specific to Ctrl, the Shift key can now be used to restrict cursor to current monitor when dragging a window.
-
Fixed: When adding a monitor, AltDrag needed a restart for Aero Snapping to work properly, this is no longer the case.
-
Fixed .manifest file so that proper windows version can be obtained.
-
GUI fixed: Now under Windows 10, the 'scroll inactive window' option will be grayed out unless it is activated, so that users do not enable it by mistake and to make it clear that it is useless for Win10.
-
GUI Fixed: Now if desktop composition is enabled, it will no longer be possible to disable the Drag Full Window option (GDI Performances problem).
AltDrag 1.34
- Added MMBLower in the [Blacklists] section of AltDrag.ini in order to
disable the "Lower windows by middle clicking on the title bar" option
for any window. use the name|class format.
Example: MMBLower=*|CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS
if you want to close tabs with midle click on Windows Terminal.
-
Fixed: now the Lower action will deselect the lowered window if possible
so that it can be reselected easily (thanks redactedscribe). -
Fixed: Now when a windows is snapped normally under windows,
it will be restored properly if AltDragging it out. If a window is
snapped with AltDrag, however it can only be restored with AltDrag. -
Fixed: Scroll Action was restored to the 1.29 version behaviour (kimks3).
AltDrag 1.33
- Added a MinAlpha option in the [Advanded] section of AltDrag.ini, in order to adjust from 0 to 255 the minimum opacity of a windows (dfault is 8).
-
Fixed AltDrag freezing when changing DPI scaling or going to sleep mode.
-
Fixed Stupid bug that would restart AltDrag wen moving windows between monitors with different DPI scalings.
-
Improved English on the snapping windows option (thanks redactedscribe).
-
Now settings should be kept when updating AltDrag (thanks FSund).
AltDrag 1.32
-
Added the PearceDBClick option in [Advanced] section of Altdrag.ini. Use 1 to disable the maximize on Alt+double-click. It only applies to the Move action for now, maybe more will come if needed.
-
Added the UseCursor option in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini
Use 0 to disable any cursor handeling (not recomended).
Use 1 to enable all cursors changes (default).
Use 2 to disable only the Hand cursor when dragging a window (icyhoty2k).
Use 3 to always use the default cursor, even when resizing.
Note that none of those settings is expected to affect performances in any significant way. -
Now when pressing the SHIFT key while using doubleclick snapping on the center-top section of the window, this later will be maximized/restored, instead of being snapped to the top. This will be useful when using the Move instead of resize-center option.
-
Lower with Middle mouse button option will no longer ignore the window blacklist, this will avoid interactions with taskbar.
-
Fixed Scroll inactive windows, hopefully for real this time.
-
Avoid some more loockup in the case of very unresponsive windows by using PostMessage instead of SendMessage, when applicable.
-
Fixed: Now doubleclick snapping will respect Aero(H/V)offset settings.
-
Fixed some more minor drawing problems when using FullWin=0
AltDrag 1.31
- Added option to replace the resize center mode with Move mode. GUI was adjusted accordingly
-
Improved the non full windows dragging mode, it will no longer move the window when it snaps but only the transparent square and the window will be moved when click is released as expected.
-
Simplified window database and removed useless code.
-
Fixed slightly too large window when resizing from a maximized window inside an MDI.
-
Fixed some annoying behavior in the in case of unresponsive windows.
AltDrag 1.30
-
Re-introduced the Aero snap at top to maximize a window. this behavior can be disabled with the AeroTopMaximizes option in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini. The Shift key will also invert the behavior.
-
Now when auto re-maximize option is on, the re-maximizing can be prevented by pressing the shift key before releasing the mouse.
-
Fixed overcompensation of Win10 invisible borders in center mode in the case of double click Aero-snapping.
-
Fixed horizontal double-click Aero-snapping maximization in the case of MDI windows.
-
Fixed: Now the Volume action is not limited to Vista and later. This later will use the WINMM API on NT4/2000/XP to change the waveOut volume.
-
Fixed the Scroll inactive windows option, that would prevent scrolling in all metro apps under Win 10. Note that I advise against using this option anyway because Win 10 does it already natively by default.
-
Now "Start|Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow" is in the default blacklist. This will avoid AltDrag interactions with Win10's Start menu.
AltDrag 1.29
-
Added Maximize scroll action that behaves as expected: wheel up maximizes the pointed window, wheel down restores a maximized window and minimizes to taskbar a normal window. This action was proposed by bluebird11.
-
Now when Aero-snapping with double right-click, the window will be resized to full monitor width when double-clicking on the center of the window while pressing the shift key.
-
The cursor is now properly limited to MDI client area when using Ctrl.
-
Cleaned up some code by removing useless global variables.
-
Lower action will no longer ignore the AutoFocus config flag.
-
Minor refactoring, moved some code toward function and fixed some gcc's -Wsign-compare warnings.
-
Fixed: Sometime when pressing escape while resizing, it would prevent further window move/resize.
-
Rewrote the auto remaximize procedure. It is now much simpler and handier in my opinion. The window is now remaximized when released on the current monitor, if it was maximized when move started AND was dragged to an other monitor. There is no more 1s delay option...
Note this procedure was not working properly on previous releases. -
Fixed: Position of the mouse cursor relative to the restored windows should be always correct now, this was a stupid bug I introduced...
-
Fixed: Desktop window is now properly ignored.
-
Fixed: When using Ctrl, the cursor will be properly restricted to the current monitor.
-
Removed unused variables and cleaned up some code.
-
Remove hard dependency to ole32.dll, it will be loaded only when using the Volume action.
AltDrag 1.28
-
Added hardening flags for gcc.
-
Added a RefreshRate in the [Performance] section of AltDrag.ini that allows you to set a minimum time in miliseconds between two Windows Redraw when FullWin=1, I recomend a value that corresponds to the refresh rate of your monitor ie: 60Hz => RefreshRate=16.
-
Added Maximize action, it can be used to toggle the maximized state, combine with Shift to minimize. (Thanks to Jim Teunis for suggestion).
-
Added the CenterFraction in the [General] section of AltDrag.ini to adjust The size of the region in percent that is used for the center resizing mode. Default is 24% meaning 38% for the sides. You can, for example set it to 0 to enable a 4 regions mode instead or the 9 default regions. You can also set CenterFraction=100 and combine with the ResizeCenter=0 option in order to have a pure bottom right mode.
-
Added AeroThreshold option in the [Advanced] options. Default value is 5. It corresponds to the threshold distance in pixels at which a window will be snapped automatically to the monitor (aero style). If you do not like windows snapping for a fraction of second when changing monitors, try to set this value to only 2, in such a case it will be necessary to use Ctrl to snap windows between monitors. On the other hand if you want you can increase this value and this will make snapping between monitors easier without Ctrl key...
-
Removed dependency to Advapi32.dll from hooks.dll (it was unnecessary).
-
Fixed: An Aero-snapped window will now require mouse mouvement before moving, instead of a simple Alt+Click.
-
Fixed when a window is in full screen you will actually need to move the mouse in order to resize it.
-
Fixed a remaining Win 10 invisible borders bug that would shrink slightly a window when resizing it from a fullscreen state.
-
Fixed application hang when changing DPI scaling under Win10. Note that for the moment the solution is to restart AltDrag when receaving the WM_DPICHANGED message, I hope to have better solution in the future.
-
Fixed bug in Transparency action where the windows transparency could no longer be modified in some cases.
-
Misc cleanup and code refactoring here and there + Fixed all warnings. using gcc -Wall parameter.
-
Minor GUI improvement for WinNT4 and Win2000.
AltDrag 1.27
== AltDrag 1.27 ==
-
Added Elevate option to the tray menu as suggested by Loxaan Oxyde.
-
Added Pause Process option, use Alt+Shift+Pause to pause the process
of the windows under your cursor, press Alt+Pause to Resume.
The Option AgressivePause must be set to 1 in [Input] config.
Use the associated Pause blacklist. This function needs XP or later.
Note 1: This is a very aggressive option use with caution.
Note 2: The windows of the paused process will no longer be drawn leading
to screen tearing on the windows itself.
Note 3: If you use WIN as a hotkey, then you can still obtain the
WIN+PAUSE System Properties by pointing first the cursor to the taskbar. -
Now when using Aero Snap, and resizing towards the top, the windows will
be maximized vertically when the cursor will touch the top of the screen.
Same behaviour for the left. This behaviour is ONLY for the top and left
when using respectively the pure top and pure left resize modes.
-
Actually fixed DPI scaling under Win10 with the .manifest I made a typo
in the first place and never fixed it, because I was not using DPI scaling
and I thought I was... -
Fixed the toggle borderless action under Windows 10, the window would
not be properly refreshed because of buggy DWM. -
Fixed: Now the Transparency action will not ignore blacklists.
-
Improved translation handling, now all translations are ini files in the
"Lang" subdirectory of AltDrag. This will simplify addition of new
Locals, this also allow anyone with notepad to fix his own language.
Finally you can remove languages that you donot need and if you want only
english you can remove the whole "Lang" directory. -
Updated zh_CN chinese with Zepp Lu's corrections
-
More French and Italian corrections.
== AltDrag 1.25 ==
- Fixed Memory leaks.
== AltDrag 1.24 ==
-
Fixed Crash in the config dialog.
-
Fixed some windows such as mplayer's windows can now be resized again.
-
Fixed translations and French and Italian translations in particular.
More will come on this. -
Fixed Incorrect snapping of windows in an MDI under Windows 10.
-
Fixed: Now on a blacklist, an empty title will be considered as a really
empty title instead of 'any' title. You should use '*|class' to include
all windows from a given class instead of just |class. This gives a more
fine control over blacklist to the user. -
Fixed minor drawing problems when using FullWin=0
== AltDrag 1.23 ==
- Add option to disable resizing windows that are not resisable
ie: No WS_THICKFRAME. Default is to resize everything.
-
Fixed: Now config dialog can be used on NT4.
-
Fixed: Now AeroSnap takes into account the taskbar on NT4.
-
Fixed: Now when a windows is not responding, move/resize will be disabled.
-
Some optimisations were done.
-
Fixed: Windows will be moved/resized in an independant thread avoiding any
mouse delay/lockup when a window is very unresponsive. This is helpfull for
Slow video drivers on Win8/10, and for web browsers windows.
== AltDrag 1.22 ==
-
Added options to chose the Aero Snap ratio. You can now chose the position
in percentage of screen size, where the AeroSnap corners will meet.
Default is 50%:50% ie:
AeroHoffset=50 ; Horizontal from left
AeroVoffset=50 ; Vertical from top
You could set for example AeroHoffset to 33, this mean that a windows
snapped to the left will use only 33% of the screen and a window snapped
to the right will use 67%. The same logic applies to AeroVoffset for the
vertical direction. This will be appreciated by the widescreen users. -
Added toggle window title bar and border on/off Action (Igor Bochkariov)
I used a different implementation though. If you want to just disable the
titlebar and keep borders, press shift.
-
Fixed Transparency action. Now when setting back the windows to an opaque
state, the WS_EX_LAYERED attribute is removed as it should be. This will
avoid useless performance issues when using this feature -
Fixed: Now under Windows 10, the DWM api will be used when available to
obtain correct window rectangle and avoid gaps between snapping windows -
Fixed: now fullscreen windows that have a system menu will not be
automatically blacklisted. -
Now a full screen window will not be restored unless the mouse is moved
instead of a simple alt+click as before. It was an annoying behaviour. -
Double click will maximize a normal window and restore a maximized window.
== AltDrag 1.20 ==
- Ability to drag only a square instead of the full windows (beter perf.)
- Added an option to replace center resizing mode by bottom-right mode.
- Added MDIs blacklist: Windows for which MDI behaviour will be disabled.
- No more HookWindows as (unstable and mixing 64 and 32 bit code)
- No more FocusOnTyping (too buggy)
-
Fixed cursor performances problems, before the cursor windows used alpha
blending which is very slow. I just told the windows to do nothing when
it receave the WM_PAINT or WM_ERASEBKGND messages and that's it, this also
means proper display for all windows versions instead of being limited to
Windows 2000+ . -
Now compatible with Windows NT4 sp3+
-
Removed dependencies with shlwapi.dll
-
Dynamically import PSAPI.DLL in case it is missing (it is not much used)
-
Fixed: Cursor windows now captures the mouse input (prevents some bugs).
-
Fixed compleatly opaque blacklist reading procedure, it will be trivial to
add or remove blacklists from now. -
Fixed some drawing problems (not all).
-
Fixed .manifest information for high dpi awareness.
-
Refactoring by putting some code into functions
-
Use GetPrivateProfileInt instead of the 'String version for all int values.
-
Avoid floating point arithmetric. Only int math are used.
-
Add -nostdlib flag to gcc to avoid useless bloat to the dll and exe.
-
Avoid GUI locking when windows is very slow to resize (with FullWin=0 only)
