Quick release with mostly bug fixes,

  • Multi-user is now supported. Portable mode is still automatic if
    AltSnap.ini is located next to AltSnap.exe. Otherwise the AltSnap.ini
    file will be written to %APPDATA%\AltSnap\ and it will be copied from
    the AltSnap.dni file if present in altsnap's folder.

  • uiAccess flag was added to the .manifest file, see #538 for more details.
    Basically you can install AltSnap to the Program Files directorry,
    run an AHK script that changes the uiAccess to true and self-sign

This release brings a lot of improvements to the table,so you might expect regressions and new bugs.

  • New action, you can now pop up a Stacked window list that will show the list of windows that are stacked with the pointed window. You can then select the window you want and it will be set to the foreground. Shift extends the stack to all windows that are under the mouse pointer.

  • New action: Next/Prev stacked window, available as mouse action and as wheel action. Again add shift to extend the stack.

  • New: Now an indicator for windows that were set AlwaysOnTop can be set. Check the Show an indicator on always on top windows option in the Advanced tab. The indicator will also show a list of other AlwaysOnTop windows when right-clicked. You can also set the PinColor option in the [Input] section of the .ini and the PinRate option in the [Performance] section of the .ini can be used to set the color of the indicator and the rate at which it gets refreshed.

  • New: You can now setup any keyboard shortcut for any action. Note that this creates system level keyboard shortcuts and you will be unable to setup a shortcut that already existed (this is a good thing). Go to the Keyboard tab of the config dialog, select the option for which you want to setup a shortcut, then edit it manually or click the Pick keys button and press your shortcut, then hit the Save button. You can decide whether those keyboard-only actions should apply to the pointed or to the focused window. #264, #268 You will need to reconfigure Kill on Ctrl+Alt+F4 and such.

  • New keyboard-only actions to move/extend the window to the surrounding zones in the snap layout.

  • New: Now you can set up MoveUpT and ResizeUpT actions to be performed when the click was performed inside the titlebar. CHECK YOUR CONFIG, as those options did not exist before and will default to Nothing. The options were also added to the GUI.

  • New: Two Zoom window action that can be setup for a mouse wheel. The first one will resize only vertically/horizontally when the mouse points at the pure side sectors, and the second one will always zoom proportionally instead. #239

  • New: To fix menu not getting canceled in some cases, you can add the DragSendsAltCtrl option in the [Advanced] section of the ini. #255

  • New now you can set the value of BLUpperBorder in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file and it will select in the same fashion than BLCapButtons but this time only for the top resizing border. Default value is also 3 to prevent left and right button to trigger AltSnap in the top resizing borders. BLCapButtons now concerns only the caption buttons and no longer the top resizing border.

  • Now you can customize the action menu by adding or removing menu items using the ACMenuItems option in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file. Default value is -1 for all menu entries. #240

  • Updated German translation thanks to @Ichisich

  • GUI: Now the SnapGap option is available through the GUI. #200

  • Fixed #150: The top owner window is now used for the always on top action. This avoids some parts of the program not being affected.

  • Fixed #235: Inconsistent focusing of windows.

  • Fixed #274: The window is now refocused when the action menu is canceled.

  • Fixed: More reliable prevention of menu activation and/or start menu popping up problems.

  • Fixed: Window maximum and minimum sized would be ignored in center resizing mode, leading to window running outside the screen when resizing it beyond their maximum size.

  • Fixed: Focus windows when dragging not working in some cases. #250

  • Fixed: The titlebar Action menu not disappearing on defocusing in some cases. #263.
