Hello there. Great great product. Thank you for your service to the community.

I would rather use this than FancyZones. The idea to use the Test windows works well to save a layout.....

However, when I use overlapping windows, the choser gets confused. It wants to combine multiple zones. Could this be configurable in the .ini? I would like it to chose the center most test windows from my mouse cursor and only join two or more if it is center most for those zones. It would require some triangulation but would really work well when I want top and bottom, four corners, and two central on the same monitor. I can do this with fancyzones.

Thank you for considering.

I am not sure I understand,
By default if the cursor is close to two zones, it will extend the Window to the two zones, However you can change this behavior by setting the InterZone value to 0 in the [Zones] section of the ini file, in this case the window will only snap to a single zone, as soon as your cursor enters the zone, and you will need to use the Ctrl key to extend to several zones.

Ok, I see what you mean actually you were taking about overlapping zones, this is an interesting concept on which I did not work.

It should not be hard to implement indeed, I will see what I can do after the next stable release.

Actually implementation is straightforward so I added already an option:

Add this option in In the [Zones] section:

ZSnapMode=1
; Zone snapping strategy
; Set to 0 to snap to the zones pointed by the cursor (default).
; Set to 1 to snap to the zone which center is the nearest from the cursor

There is always an interzone tolerance to allow to snap to two zones but in your specific case it might be useless.
Use this build of AltSnap.exe+hooks.dll (quit altsnap and replace the old files).

AltSnap1.60rc2_x64.zip
AltSnap1.60rc2_i386.zip

give me a copy of yur ini file so that I can test it.

Also, what is layoutzones=0? I got rid of that.

This was probably LayoutNumber, it is because AltSnap supports multiple snap layouts, so it must remember which was the last selected one.

Use this one, it might fix your issue.

AltSnap1.60rc3_x64.zip

Also be sure not to set a too large value to InterZone because the new strategy has a way to use the value that is slightly different.

Could you give more details?
I am unable to reproduce, obviously!
Could you give a copy of your ini file?
You can zip it and attach it in a post.

If it tend to snap to too many zones at tye same time, decrease again the InterZone value, setting it to 0 mean that the window will snap to only one zone which is probably whet you want if you use may overlapping zones.
