AlomWare Toolbox full changelog

Bug fix: Tweaked the way that clipboard monitoring works to follow the process recommended by MSDN (Microsoft's guidelines).
Bug fix: Taking a snapshot of a PC state will no longer play typewriter sounds during the snapshot when that tweak is enabled.
Enhancement: The "Make the Windows 'Run' box wider to show more text" tweak now also works with the "Run" box that is opened from the Task Manager (requires admin rights).
Enhancement: Some website URLs couldn't be copied when taking a screenshot because they override the browser's Ctrl+L hotkey. The app now falls back to Alt+D in such cases.
Enhancement: Added two more comparison options for action continuation tests: "item[!value" (item doesn't start with value), and "item!]value" (item doesn't end with value).
Addition: New automation step called "Toolbox: Show the magnifier", which shows or hides an on-screen magnifying glass for quickly zooming in on the desktop. Not intended to replace the "Misc" tab.
Addition: New variable called "tooldata$", which holds the directory of the app's "Toolbox Data" folder. An example use is shown here: https://www.alomware.com/forum/index.php?msg=552
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Enhancement: The "Files -> Backup" tab now lets you backup files up to 512 MB in size (up from 100 MB). 512 MB is the maximum file size of a Microsoft Word document.
Enhancement: Some invisible system windows were incorrectly being detected as visible for PC States and the Work Overview (such as "CrossDeviceResumeWindow" and "Windows Input Experience").
Enhancement: The app's update check is now almost instant when no update is available, because the change log is now only downloaded when an update is available.
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For the "String: Get line number" step; which missed the last line if a blank line didn't follow it.
Bug fix: For the "String: Get matching line" step; which was incorrectly set to only work with single-line strings.
Enhancement: Setting the opening state for UWP windows (such as the Windows Calculator) now works more reliably to detect them.
Addition: New automation step called "Computer: Mute all windows but active", which mutes the volume of all windows except the active one. You will need to manually unmute them later, or use the 'Computer: Unmute all windows' step.
Addition: New automation step called "Computer: Unmute all windows", which unmutes the volume of all windows (if muted).
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For the "File: Assign" and "Folder: Assign" steps; when you use the "?" picker option in the prompt but then cancel picking.
Enhancement: The Calendar is now colored by default by using the classic theme for it, but you can switch back to the modern theme in Settings if you prefer. Please note that the modern theme doesn't support coloring and will always have a white background.
Enhancement: The "Macro: Type keys or use mouse" step has had a couple of required internal changes. These changes won't affect your macros.
Enhancement: The systray animation of the app when a macro is playing no longer flickers rapidly if a macro is run repeatedly in a tight loop.
Enhancement: The "String: Compress" step has been updated for better text compression. Some examples: "rolls_on_floor_laughing" becomes "rofl", "Keep It *Simple*, Stupid!" becomes "kiss", "IMG_0136.JPG - IrfanView" becomes "img0136", "C:My DocsBudget.xls" becomes "budget", and "https://www.alomware.com/payment.html" becomes "payment".
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Removed: The enhancement from the last update to fix the Windows desktop bug has been removed, as it was affecting taskbar thumbnails.
Bug fix: The icon for the "Computer: Show the desktop" step was accidentally removed in the last update.
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For the "Update Available" window, which had cropped buttons on desktops with a DPI that wasn't 100%. Thanks for the report, Robert.
Enchancement: Creating new folders from the Power menu now refreshes the target folder instantly, so the new folders are seen immediately instead of after a short delay.
Enhancement: Pasting a Registry key into the Command box (to open it in RegEdit) will now open a new instance of RegEdit specifically for it (so you don't lose your place in any existing RegEdit).
Enhancement: Sometimes trying to click the first thumbnail's text in the "Work Overview" window would fail. This is not a Toolbox bug, but a Windows bug (https://superuser.com/questions/1868863/why-can-t-i-click-in-windows-just-above-the-taskbar). AlomWare Toolbox fixes this issue by making that area clickable again.
Maintenance: Other minor bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For saved window opening states not always working for UWP apps (such as the Windows Calculator).
Bug fix: The "Action: Repeat this block" steps were not being selected when "Select block/routine" was chosen.
Bug fix: For the middle mouse button not showing the Power menu on UWP apps (you had to click very close to the top of it).
Bug fix: For the "ClipboardSave to desktop as a text file" default action. (A variable name had been changed but not updated in the action). Click the "Action Wizard" button in the "Automation" tab and then select "Add default actions" from the menu to overwrite the old action.
Bug fix: For the "FilesRecreate a Base64 file" default action. (A variable name had been changed but not updated in the action). Click the "Action Wizard" button in the "Automation" tab and then select "Add default actions" from the menu to overwrite the old action.
Major enhancement: You can now right-click an action's block or routine to collapse (fold) it, to hide/show the steps inside it.
Enhancement: After filtering a list (such as the Clipboard list), the list now gets the keyboard focus after the filter is applied.
Enhancement: The Clipboard and Screenshots lists now have right-click menu item called "Filter start", which filters those lists using the starting word of the selected item. For example, this is handy to select all "Notification" items in the Screenshot list without having to manually set a filter for them.
Enhancement: Using the "Action Wizard" function to save window states (all or current) no longer includes any of AlomWare Toolbox's windows, and now also includes each sound volume level for the window(s).
Enhancement: The "Window: Put inside other window" step now accepts "none" to specified, to take the assigned window back out of the other window that it was previously placed into.
Add

Bug fix: When the app's window is minimized and you press its main hotkey to show it, it now shows again.
Bug fix: When setting a window's transparency from the Power menu, the transparency slider could be off the desktop if the target window was at a desktop corner.
Bug fix: When setting a window's opening state (and for PC States), the app could incorrectly remove the transparency layer of some windows (such as for "OpenStickies").
Addition: New menu option called "Help > Visit our online forum for discussion". Should be self-explanatory. :) The forum is new so please join and contribute. Thanks!
Enhancement: The "Clipboard: Assign text" now supports "{list:#}" as a value, to copy the clipboard history list item from that position (# = 1-100 only). For example, specifying "{list:1}" will copy the latest clipboard history item back into the clipboard.
Enhancement: The "Folder: Assign" step now accepts "active" as a value, so you can use this step as an alternative to the "Folder: Assign active" step.
Enhancement: The "Web: Download to" step now checks for the target's actual existence before downloading it. Previously this could fail if the target was missing, making this step inadvertently download a "404 Not Found" error file instead.
Maintenance: Other miscellaneous internal bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For the restored "Window: Assign active" step in the v7.0.0.1 release. Thanks for pointing this out, Bazza! :)
New automation step: "Wait: For the clipboard image to change", so you can pause your action until the clipboard image changes.
New automation step: "Wait: For the clipboard text to change", so you can pause your action until the clipboard text changes. This can be used as an alternative to "Wait: For variable to change" with a value of "clip$".
Maintenance: Other miscellaneous internal bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes.

Bug fix: For a situation where the app could crash silently (due to a specific resource being accessed twice at the same time, when it should only be once)
Bug fix: For setting a window's opening state to be rolled-up to its title bar. For example, this would fail for folders if they were set to auto-maximize
Bug fix: For taking a screenshot of both UWP apps and folders, and later relaunching them by double-clicking them in the "Screenshots" tab
Major addition: The Power menu now has an option for folders called "Opening state > Choose the opening view mode for this folder". This lets you make a folder always open in the view desired, such as "Medium Icons". You can do this with an automation action as well, but this new addition frees you from using an action to do it
Addition: New keyboard tweak setting called "Tweaks for your PC > Keyboard > Turn off Caps Lock on new windows or end of sentence". This stops you accidentally TYPING LIKE THIS on a new window or sentence
Enhancement: Better support for multiple monitors (such as screenshots now including all monitors; the Snipper working properly with them; etc)
Enhancement: Added more file types to AlomWare Toolbox's file list browser: *.ts, *.yaml, *.yml
Maintenance: Other miscellaneous internal bug and stability fixes, code optimisations, and cosmetic text changes
