Feature request: Add program/process exclusions under Advanced Settings #12

Closed e-t-l closed 3 years ago

One feature that could make this a bit more convenient, especially if a more common mouse shortcut is used, would be to put a section in Advanced Settings where users could enter programs and/or processes that should be ignored by Textify, like a blacklist.

For example, if I want my mouse shortcut to be ctrl + middle-click, but there's one other program (Photoshop) that also uses this keyboard+mouse combination, and I'm confident I will never need to use Textify on Photoshop (because everything in PS is copy-able already), then I could add Photoshop to my Textify blacklist. That way, ctrl + middle click would trigger Textify in all other programs, but would not trigger Textify when used in Photoshop.

Would this be feasible?

Done, please try the newly released v1.8.5. Usage:

[exclude]
1=photoshop.exe
2=notepad.exe
