General Discussion / Re: Why so many updates?

Last post by Paul (Lead Developer) - August 05, 2026, 06:00:31 PM

Already been doing that for a while. Banned codes are inside each update, so pirates can only use the version they illegally gained and not any later versions. But even that bothers me a lot, because they shouldn't be permitted to use it at all.

One idea I'm considering is to issue a temp one-year unlock code at the user's first purchase, then auto-issue the actual permanent one after that period. The buyer would be aware of and agreeing to this before purchasing. So if they get a refund from PayPal within that first year, their code only lasts for that time and then dies.

It costs me $10 in PayPal penalty fees when someone disputes their payment after getting their code, so they get the app for free and I have to refund their purchase + $10 penalty.

Yeah, that's rough. And without an online check, there's no way to invalidate the issued code, although you could probably invalidate known pirate codes for versions later than the one the code was issued at. Maybe that's a halfway house?

Not sure at the moment. I don't want to require online activation checks, but I can't see any other way. It costs me $10 in PayPal penalty fees when someone disputes their payment after getting their code, so they get the app for free and I have to refund their purchase + $10 penalty.

Lots of updates going on at the moment, as well as dealing with the issue of piracy.

Piracy? Oh no, dealing with that's got to be a challenge. You going to redo the registration stuff, or is there a less drastic option?

Very funny, Bazza. There hasn't been an update since May 23 now, which is very unusual. Hope everything is okay. Or maybe my complaint has made them slow down?

Feature Requests / Re: Alt+LMB drag feature

Last post by GCRedditor136 - July 20, 2026, 10:41:32 PM

Understood. The reason I asked, though, is that holding down Alt and dragging the mouse on a web page is good way to select text that can't normally be copied, so I was hoping I could use a different key to Alt.

Feature Requests / Re: Alt+LMB drag feature

A hotkey wouldn't work because it basically disables that key when pressed. So if Alt was done as a hotkey instead, then you wouldn't be able to press Alt to show the menu bar on a window (because the hotkey code "swallows" the keypress). At the moment it's done as a keyboard hook, which is why it lets you drag the window and also press it to see the menu bar. To support custom keys, I'd need to code it for every key on the keyboard, which I'm not going to do. Sorry!

Feature Requests / Alt+LMB drag feature

Last post by GCRedditor136 - July 19, 2026, 03:59:19 PM

I really like the Alt+LMB drag feature to move windows by clicking them anywhere, but what about making it work for keys other than Alt? Like as a hotkey for an action?
