About plans for the 5.22 release, I decided to implement PiP (Picture-in-Picture) - Implement a two-click method to enable it quickly like how it has done in Linux Elementary-OS (#313) in 5.22 ASAP. It moved from the "Bonus planned feature" section to "Planned features" and the other 3 tasks moved to "Bonus planned feature"

This is because it turns out that 3 months after the crop was developed in WindowTop, the Microsoft PowerToys developers started to develop the crop feature (but they plan to trigger it in a shortcut method like I planned to in #313 ).

I could careless what Microsoft does. They are always half assing things anyway and wouldn't even bother to maintain it. Your version is always going to be better because you are so focused and invested into this application. Big companies are always the worst. I guess just keep going and pushing new features and refining everything.

Thanks.

Yes but only features for improving the efficiency of multi-tasking with multiple windows.

Pushing every possible new feature, like what they try to do, is not what I and the users want. This is what they are doing. They create something like a bomb with tons of stuff. Some are related to particular use cases, and some are related to the area of this app. It is like installing many very different programs you may not need in one app. WindowTop goal is only to feature for multi-tasking with a lot of windows (the dark-mode feature is a small exception, but everything else can help in multitasking in its own way) Doing app that focuses on everything seems wrong.. and I am not surprised that PowerToys take more than 500MB for its installation and temporary files, and dependencies) while WindowTop takes only 34 and has a portable version.

Nor do I. I meant it in a way to compliment the thought that all that you implement is well considered and implemented in such a way that actually works. Microsoft half asses everything. Look at their tabbed explorer... terrible! I only meant small little features that compliment the overall application itself in a similar way to what you had planned for version 5.22

Yep, its (PowerToys) become so bloated over the years.

I have every faith in what you are doing. It's always going to be the better choice. I am also glad people are continuing to buy it and support you.

Good news - Beta 10 passed all initial testing and seems stable. I can make a final release, but I prefer to go on bug reports that reported using #151 And I am also waiting for translation updates.
