Sounds great to me, Paul. I'm willing to beta-test that if you like (you have my email).

I've decided it's going to do an online activation check at every app launch, instead of every month. So it the check passes at launch, the app won't check again until it's relaunched, which could be quite a while if the user never quits it. I'm fine with that because I tried a monthly check but there's false-positive checking issues if the PC is in standby mode or is shut down when the month changes. I've determined it's better just to check at launch.

For the next release: the tooltip has been removed, as it wasn't really needed.

I've added checkboxes next to each saved window state that you can toggle to enable/disable the state when the window opens.

Feature Requests / Saved Window Manager request

Last post by oblivion - August 15, 2026, 08:05:12 PM

Slightly two-pronged, this.

First, a cosmetic issue -- the tooltip that appears when you select an entry also pops up in odd places when the mouse hovers over empty space in the lower part of the window.

The request part of this -- it'd sometimes be useful if an entry could be deactivated or suspended instead of just deleted.

Do it, Paul. Almost every Android app I have does an online check for validity. It's the expected norm these days. Stop making it easy for people to get your excellent tool for free.

I'd certainly be okay with that too.

I'd be okay with an online activation check once a month. Most programs do that these days and everyone's online 24/7 anyway. In fact, I strongly recommend you do this if it means supporting the product and keeping it going. I've seen too many developers shut up shop because of piracy and I don't want yours to be next.

Won't make the $10 out of pocket problem evaporate, though.

True. But maybe this can be mitigated by the app doing an online activation check once a month for the first year after payment? After the year, the online checks can stop because PayPal doesn't refund after 180 days and the user has proven themselves to be honest. That sounds pretty good to me!

I guess that might help. Won't make the $10 out of pocket problem evaporate, though.

What a horrible way for people to behave. 

I'd like to apologise on behalf of the whole of humanity for the extraordinary number of complete [removed to avoid frightening the horses] that exist.
