_____________________________ __| |__ \ | AlomWare Toolbox Change Log | / / |_____________________________| \ /____) (____\ NOTE: Every new release has internal optimisations and minor bug fixes that aren't always listed below. +------------+ | 5 Jun 2022 | +------------+ Change due to a preventative bug fix: Adding backup files to the "Protected files" list would not back up the files if their original folder path was over 260 characters long. This is a rare and uncommon situation and this function has now been amended to use a different backup technique to allow for this, but the new method is (regrettably) incompatible with your existing backups. This means you'll need to delete all your existing backups and start them afresh. Sorry, but this does make them future-proof to prevent such issues again. Preventative fix: If a maximized window is set to always be on top, then opening Toolbox's window might not be shown and you might falsely conclude that its hotkey to show it isn't working. Now, it forces itself on top so you can always see it when invoking it. Bug fix: Increased the timeout for saved window opening states to make it more successful on windows that take longer to update their titles. Major new feature: There is now a menu option (and Automation step) to open a "PC overview" window, which is basically a strip of live thumbnails of all open windows for viewing, that you can also click to bring to the front. Think of it as like taskbar buttons but with a real-time live view of each window. No longer do you need to constantly switch to a different window to see what it's doing - see them all at a glance; all the time! Don't forget to check the app's "Settings" window to change how the PC overview is displayed, such as including open folders, the default overview position, etc. Major enhancement: You can now use the Power menu (middle-click a window's icon area) to dock that window to the right/left/top/bottom of another window on an ad-hoc basis, without needing to create an automated action to do it. There is now also no limit to how many windows can be docked to each other. Enhancement: You can now undo changes to file rename scripts with Ctrl+Z. Enhancement: You can now cut/copy/paste parts of file rename scripts with Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. New step: "Computer: Stash desktop items", which moves all your desktop items (icons, files, folders, shortcuts) into a temporary single folder on the desktop (named 'Toolbox Stashed Items') to make it easy to identify newly-added items; such as when testing a new app which adds its own icons/files to the desktop, or when unzipping an archive of new files to the desktop and don't want them mixed in with your existing desktop files. For your data's safety, any desktop items with the same name that are already stashed (or unstashed) will NOT be overwitten. Is it important that you do not stash desktop items that are currently in use, such as files that are currently being downloaded to the desktop. New step: "Keyboard: Paste with tabs", which pastes the text content of the clipboard to the active text field, but replaces any new lines in the text with Tab keypresses. This is useful when you copy multi-line text and need to paste each line into consecutive data fields of a form. +------------------------------------------+ | First official public beta (26 Mar 2022) | +------------------------------------------+ New step: "Window: Use icon" to change the icon (top-left corner) of the assigned window. Specify "original" to change it back to its original icon. Added as a request in Reddit so that the user can more easily find different window buttons in the taskbar. +---------------------------+ | 1 Jan 2020 to 25 Mar 2022 | +---------------------------+ No private beta updates were published online during this time. +---------------------------------+ | First private beta (1 Jan 2020) | +---------------------------------+ Non-public version for private beta-testers only. +-----+ | End | +-----+
