Lock window from being resized

[bottleblue]

Can we have an option to lock a window from being resized (and have it persist through reboots)? If we try to resize it maybe you can show a padlock symbol or a red circle with a slash through it to indicate it's locked.

What would that be for? Is there a window you want to be able to move but not resize with altsnap? You already have the option available in the action menu to disable movement. It disables both Move+Resize with AltSnap so it is not the same exactly.

In this case a resize blacklist would be better as it would remain in your config and would persist through reboots.

To prevent apps or Windows from changing the window size without your permission or accidentally doing it yourself. I'm not talking about maximizing or minimizing a window. I mean drag resizing or how sometimes when a game is running in a different resolution and it changes back and forth or the game crashes sometimes it messes up the windows you have opened.

I understand though if that's never happened to you you might not think this was a useful feature.

So in this case a blacklist would be useful, like it can be configured once. Also keep in mind that if a window is not resizable by default AltSnap will try to resize it. to fix this behavior, uncheck the Resize all windows option in the general tab of the config.

There is already the AResize blacklist for windows to always resize, I guess I can add the NResize list for winows to Never resize.

Yes I saw that option. Thx for considering any features. This app is already very useful. These would make it even better imo.

Try this build:

AltSnap1.62test13_x64.zip

You need to add in the [Blacklist] section of the ini file:

NResize=
; List of windows that AltSnap should Never consider as resizeable
; Only applies when ResizeAll=0

Like in all blacklist you can use the exename.exe format or the title|class format or even the exename.exe:title|class and the * can bu used a as a joker for title or class. In case of videogame I advise you simply use the exename because they usually make a single window.

It works for disabling AltSnap's resizing but not Windows native resizing. Not sure Windows resize bug will be prevented.

[RamonUnch]

You can still disable windows borders to disable native resizing. (border-less mode)

[bottleblue]

How do you do that? From the registry? I was hoping to disable all resizing from the app.

[RamonUnch]

AltSnap can not disable native window resizing, it can just prevent itself from doing it. However you can use AltSnap's Toggle Borderless action that disables/restore all borders/titlebar for the window. It is very intrusive to the program however and some programs might break. Usually it is fine. Again the Toggle Borderless action is listed in the Action Menu

[bottleblue]

Ah ok I see. Then there's probably no need for this resize blacklist. I wanted to prevent native resizing, not AltSnap's resizing.

when you make a window borderless, AltSnap can still move and resize it, but you can't anymore. I use this infrequently, but it's still a very useful feature
