new version just doesn't work #8

Closed pacopepepipo closed 12 months ago

pacopepepipo commented 12 months ago

guipropview from nirsoft was deleted?

it sometimes fails with the new version the reposition/resize, and also without that tool is difficult to sometimes get the position and sizes of the window when creating a new one

it also, fails sometimes to just reposition when using 2 displays and previously worked without problems.

Yup! It became a security vulnerability, which caused issues with elgato's virus screening process, so I opted to delete it. You can always download it yourself separately here :) https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/gui_prop_view.html

@pacopepepipo And I see about the occasional repositioning bug. Some of the logic has changed for improved general reliability, security, and response time from action to response. Ultimately, we no longer use nircmd, but the Win32 API directly.

For follow-up debugging and testing:

What version of windows are you using? What numerical inputs are placed into the x and y, when you're repositioning and it fails?

Also have you tried deleting the action, and setting it up again? Sometimes it can be an input issue too.

Nothing more, dunno why but reinstalling the pluging and now works everything just fine

It happens! The underlying files probably got stale or corrupted. Re-installing fixed this. Glad to hear it works perfectly. I will now be closing this issue.
