Versie historie van Executor

<<Terug naar software beschrijving

Veranderingen voor v0.99.31b - v0.99.32b

  • Added exclude list setting. This can hide items from list and/or input auto-complete. Found under "Settings - Misc".
  • Added pressing "esc" key in Notes hides the Notes window.
  • Added hidden setting in Executor.ini named "indexextraitems". With this you can remove some of the additional indexing, beside start-menu, that Executor does when indexing is enabled. For example the control panel items, admin tools and short-cuts from desktop etc. See hidden settings documentation for more info.



Veranderingen voor v0.99.30b - v0.99.31b

  • Added option to specify another location for Notes (found in Settings - Notes). When changing location several options of how to migrate to the new location will be presented.
  • Added option to monitor Notes for external changes to file (found in Settings - Notes).
  • Added list of clipboard will now show the date and time of each clipboard item.
  • Added option to save clipboard to disk for X amount of hours. So if Executor is closed, clipboard items are not lost in Executor. This is found under "settings - misc". This is disabled by default. Be aware that the saved clipboard entries are not protected on disk, but only obfuscated to not be readable clear text.
  • Added a button in "Settings - Misc" to clear Executor's clipboard items.
  • Added $CLEARCLIPBOARD$, setting this as a command of a keyword will clear Executor's clipboard items.



Veranderingen voor v0.99.28b - v0.99.29b

  • Added Notes which is a small notepad for quick notes etc. It's saved as notes.txt in executors data folder.
  • Added -n will open notes. -n also supports parameter text to add notes quickly. Example -n remember milk.
  • Added a new default keyword "notes" it works just like "-n", you can of course decide to add a hotkey to this (existing users can import this keyword from standard.exc) The new keyword is using the keyword command $NOTES$.
  • Added notes to right-click context menu of Executor.
  • Added $CLIPBOARDTONOTES$, setting this as a command of a keyword will copy current clipboard item to notes.
  • Added $ALLCLIPBOARDTONOTES$, setting this as a command of a keyword will copy all clipboard items that Executor have currently picked up to notes.
  • Added $COPYTONOTES$, setting this as a command of a keyword will trigger a text copy to clipboard and then copy this to notes. This is only useful if assigning a hotkey to the keyword as well. So you can highlight some text somewhere (like a browser), press the hotkey and then the highlighted text will be copied to notes.
  • Added setting "When adding to notes add to bottom instead of top." this is found under "Misc" settings.
  • Added a list of the internal commands will be displayed in list when starting input with "-".
  • Added hidden setting "commandslast" this can be set to 1 in executor.ini, if you want commands to appear last in list instead of first.
  • Added Input title context will now also detect internal commands (like -a, -add, -edit etc) and show title of these (help text).



Veranderingen voor v0.99.27b - v0.99.28b

  • Added option "Launch list items by pressing it's number unsing nemeric keys". This can be found in "Settings - Drop down / list".
  • Added option "Show numbers in list (1-9)". This can be found in "Settings - Drop down / list".
  • Added when no executor.ini is found, but a backup is found, then there's an option to restore backup.
  • Changed that -folder, -f, -exefolder, -ef, -report and $DATAFOLDER$ also supports optional file explorer option.



Veranderingen voor v0.99.12b - v0.99.18 beta



Veranderingen voor v0.99.11b - v0.99.12b

  • Fixed Several stability bugs (fixes ported from latest test build 0.99.17).



Veranderingen voor v0.99.03 - v0.99.04b

  • Added setting (drop-down) to indexing called "Auto index". This has the following options "Never", "Only on startup", "Only on focus", "On startup and on focus", "Only on 15 minutes of idle", "On startup and on 15 minutes of idle". This replaces the previous checkbox option called "Only index on startup". A note on the new "15 minutes of idle", Executor will not index again if the machine keeps being idle after 30min and then again 45min etc. Executor will detect if the computer is still in the same idle state since last indexing, and will only start indexing if it's a new idle state.
  • Added hidden setting "indexidle", with this setting you can change the default 15 minutes of idle. Will only have an effect if your using one of the "Auto index" idle modes.
  • Added new tag $CC$. Only handy for hotkey keywords. This is just like $C$ but will trigger a copy to clipboard event first (so you just have to mark the text and then trigger the hotkey).
  • Added new tag $CX$. This works like $CE$ but will in case the clipboard text is not a url or filepath replace $CX$ with the clipboard text (where $CE$ opens a predefined keyword with clipboard text as parameter). Limitation is it only works in a keywords command field at the moment.
  • Added hidden setting "calcchar" with this you can change the default calculator prefix character "#" to something else.
  • Fixed problems with keywords calling other keywords, didn't pass and resolve the tags that might be in the original keywords parameter field.
  • Fixed keywords containing parameter info and calls another keyword, will now be displayed correctly in history (previously the keyword parameter info would also be added to history).
  • Fixed importing keywords that have more than one keyword would not be detected as a duplicate/already existing.
  • Fixed current icon disappearing just after closing settings/keyword dialog.
  • Fixed alarm message text was ignored.
  • Fixed external links in Executor now use the new domain.



Veranderingen voor v0.98 Beta - v0.99 Beta

  • Added when pressing enter in the input and current input is not recognized as something to execute, then the first item in the list will be executed. This only applies if list/drop-down is visible or set to auto-open (so those who have set an open delay on list can still press enter at once).
  • Added new "Auto open delay" setting for found in settings under "Drop down / list". Default value is 0 (instant). Handy for slower computers or if you type faster than your computer can manage....
  • Added new option "Search type" to "Drop down / list". This can be "Words starts with (default)" or "Contains text (same as ctrl+r)". Will probably add a "Suggestions only" option later.
  • Added new typing "Short form" typing assistance.
  • Added new key CTRL+E. This will list the folder/items of what is current typed in the input box (a keyword, environment variable, index/scanned item), and you can also press ctrl+e on highlighted item in the list. Try type mycomp (if you still have that default keyword) and press ctrl+e. Also try type my then go in the list highlight my computer (if you have scanned items) and press ctrl+e. Regarding keywords Executor tries to figure out what part of the keyword (command, parameter) should be used for listing.
  • Added a hotkey CTRL+D and right-click context menu item called "Open folder of item". It will in windows, open the folder of the current item.
  • Added index setting "Build cache file (for quick start)". This applies to indexed items. When closing Executor all indexed items are saved to a file, and when Executor is started this is loaded and used before new index scan is complete. If using Executor on a usb-drive between different computers this setting should probably not be used.
  • Added new setting to import a keyword file from internet on startup. By this you can share keywords on different Executor installations (provided they have internet access and you have somewhere to host this keyword file). Setting can be found in settings - misc (along with a test button). This will be loaded async when Executor starts up (to prevent hanging if no internet is available) so it might take some seconds for the keywords to be available. Also these imported keywords will overwrite (update) any existing keywords of the same name.
  • Added that font script can now be set to something else than "western" like cyrillic, hebrew etc. (See settings/"Visual / skin" / Font button). The list / drop-down will also inherit this.
  • Added a "Import keywords from url". In the keyword editor (right-click keyword list for context-menu). This will present the usual list where you can toggle which keywords to import from the url etc. You can try it out with this url that contains one keyword called "forum" that will open Executors forum maximized. Test url: http://home25.inet.tele.dk/mb/executor/test.exc you can also use this url to test the auto import feature mentioned above.
  • Added a new item to the right-click context menu called "Copy full path of input" (can also press F8). It will copy the full path of the item in the input box (indexed item or keyword). For keywords it will just copy the command part of the keyword.
  • Added default keyword refreshindex. This will rebuild the index. If will write number of index items when finished if input is not changed meanwhile.
  • Added new setting to toggle if global hotkey will also hide Executor if Executor already has focus and pressing hotkey. This can be found in settings/general called "Hotkey will also hides when focus" (located just beneath where you set the global hotkey).
  • Added default keyword "listgroups".
  • Added default keyword textclean. This will remove any formatting to the current text in clipboard. Example you want to copy text from a web-page and paste it into a mail, but don't want the formatting (font-size, color etc) of the web-page to be pasted as well. Then first copy text from web-page, then launch the keyword textclean, and then paste the (now clean) text into the mail. If you want a hotkey to do all this see $TEXTCLEANPASTE$ info below.
  • Added calculator will show result preview when typing (in title/description).
  • Added icon be resolved when using relative paths.
  • Added another option to Suggestions to "Only list suggestions in list". For people that want suggestions in list but not in input field. For example those that like "Contains text" search, and also have suggestions enabled, might prefer to have it launch the first item in list (pressing enter) instead of launching some suggested item matching the "contains" criteria you typed.
  • Added that pressing tab (or ctrl+tab if input setting "Switch tab behavior" isn't enabled) will expand the file path of the indexed item in the input field, or in case the indexed item doesn't have a file path (like control panel folders "Printers and faxes", "Administrative tool") it will expand it in the list.
  • Added order of "Suggestions" in list will be at same position as "Indexed item". Replacing indexed items if "always add short form detection" is enabled, and if disabled placed just before "Indexed items".
  • Added more stop delimiter characters when using ctrl+left arrow and ctrl+right arrow to navigate input.
  • Added background indexing reserves a little less cpu when scanning in background lower priority thread.
  • Added "Programs" to auto-completion. So none history scanned/indexed items can be suggested in the text input when typing. Off by default, can be enabled in "Settings"/"Input, wording & auto completion"/"Auto-complete and order".
  • Added option to "Additional typing assistance" to always add short detection items to list and replace indexed items (if any). If not checked short detection items will only be added when no other items are found.
  • Added simple alarm, stopwatch and timer functionality (can be imported from standard.exc). These will probably not expand much further as there are a lot of good software for this. It's just meant as a quick and simple help, if for example you're on a foreign computer and in need of one of these functions. These are not saved when closing Executor.
  • Added Stopwatch keyword. Parameters "start, stop" and no parameters will start (if not started) or show stopwatch time (if started).
  • Added Timer keyword. Parameters "h:m:s or h:m or m, stop". If no parameters timer will display time left or syntax if not started. timer example: timer 10 (will make a timer with 10 minute countdown), Another example: timer 1:20:30 (will make a timer with countdown of 1hour 20min and 30sec). An optional timer text can be made as a last space separated parameter. Example: timer 10 break is over.
  • Added Alarm keyword. Parameters "h:m or h, stop". If no parameters alarm will show when the alarm is due, or syntax if not started. Alarm example: alarm 23:00 (will set an alarm for 23:00 same day, unless the current time is later than 23:00 then it will be the following day). Also supports am/pm. Another example: alarm 11pm. An optional alarm text can be made as a last space separated parameter. Example: alarm 22:00 time to go home.
  • Added an alarm/timer sound can be set under Settings / Sound.
  • Added "Clear last input" will not clear calculations.
  • Added in apps list pressing "shift-del" will now kill process while pressing "del" will close the process. It's really recommended to try close the process (del key) first as killing it might terminate it while it's writing data etc.
  • Added if list set to be hidden when no content, fixed commands like time, ip, next, prev will hide list after being executed.
  • Added option for keywords to open "Hidden". Will probably not work with all programs as some programs force show/focus when they open.
  • Added keywords that still have the default name "new..." will be removed.
  • Added when using ctrl+tab (or tab if setting switch tab behavior enabled) to move delimiter, it now also stops at spaces placed before any slashes or backslashes.
  • Added ctrl+s, ctrl+k and ctrl+alt+k works when focus is on the list.
  • Added setting (under general) to have Executor "hide from Alt-Tab".
  • Added setting (under indexing) "Don't add to history". If enabled no scanned items will be added to history.
  • Added when auto hide behavior is disabled and pressing esc (if no input) or double esc, Executor will focus the previous active window.
  • Added pressing "del" key in application list will try to close application (same as right-clicking it and selecting "Close").
  • Added keyword editor can now also be sorted by command,comment,parameter.
  • Added the two hidden settings "clipboard sniffing" and "enter will launch first item in list if input don't make sense" to the settings listed under "Misc".
  • Added hidden setting "importurlfast" if this is set to 1 then Executor will import keywords from internet immediately (sync and not default async). The risk is that Executor might hang up to 60sec if there's trouble reaching the specified import url.
  • Added hidden setting "clipautopaste" (found in executor.ini). If enabled (clipautopaste=1) this will also paste to the current window when selecting a clipboard item in Executor. Disabled be default.
  • Added hidden setting (in executor.ini) named refreshindex. When executor has been idle it checks how long it has been idle when brought back to focus, normally if it has been idle for longer than two minutes it will refresh index (unless set to only refresh at startup, or indexing is disabled). with refreshindex setting you can set something else than the default 2 minutes. refreshindex does not support decimals.
  • Added hidden setting (in executor.ini) named defaultenter, setting this to 0 will disable the feature that pressing enter when nothing has been auto-completed/suggested in the text input will launch first item in list.
  • Added new tag $GRABTOINPUT$, if added to a keywords command this will grab the output and write it in Executors input. This requires that the command is a console application that outputs some text (like for example ipconfig.exe).
  • Added new tag $GRABTOLIST$, works like $GRABTOINPUT$ but will instead display the text and set focus in the list (multi-lined text). To dismiss the text from the list press esc (while the text has focus). Example try make a keyword with command c:\windows\system32\ipconfig.exe$GRABTOLIST$
  • Added new tag $GRABTOLISTNOFOCUS$ works likes $GRABTOLIST$ will display the result text in the list, but will maintain focus on input field.
  • Added a new special command $CLR$ for keywords. If the keywords command or parameter field contains $CLR$ it will clear the input in Executor after the keyword is launched. This can be handy if you for example launch a keyword that has sensitive information. For example a password as parameter, and you don't want this to be visible the next time Executor gains focus (if you want to clear input for everything there is already a setting for this).
  • Added a new tag $TEXTCLEAN$. This will strip any formatting etc from current text in clipboard (if any).
  • Added a new tag $TEXTCLEANPASTE$. This is only for hotkey fans, that can make a keyword with this tag and assign it a hotkey. This will both clean text like $TEXTCLEAN$, and will also paste the text.
  • Added new tag $REFRESHINDEX$ it will force index to be rebuild.
  • Added index setting to include hidden folders (enabled by default). Previously hidden folders would not get scanned.
  • Added settings to display full path for scanned items in main window and/or list. Settings found under "Indexing, scanning & cache".
  • Added if an additional scan path has an empty extension, it acts as a wildcard and add everything.
  • Added tag $GROUPS$, creating a keyword with $GROUPS$ will list all groups when typing/launching the keyword. From the list you can then select a group and the group will be displayed. Ctrl+e in list/drop-down also works for groups (like selecting).
  • Added the tag $WADJUST$ it takes four parameters width,height,left,top. This can resize and/or move a window by a specific amount of pixels. Example adjust 10,0,0,0 will make the window 10 pixels wider. Another example adjust 0,0,0,-10 will move the window 10 pixels up. Also added a default keyword called adjust that can be imported from "windowkeywords.exc" file.
  • Added values listfontname, listfontsize, listrowheight, dropdownfontname, dropdownfontsize, failcolor, titlefontsize can be set in skinfiles now.
  • Added two command-line parameters -safemode (will start Executor in safemode, see help for more details) and -wizard (will force Executor to startup with setup wizard.
  • Improved when moving alpha skinned Executor, the window should move more fluent and take up less cpu while moving.
  • Improved "Don't try to resolve network paths" to be able to detect more.
  • Improved icon load speed.
  • Improved "Indexed items" in input auto completion. Will now suggest the closest match first. It's also recommended that if you have indexed items enabled for auto-completion (Settings / "Input, wording & auto-completion") to move it above history.
  • Improved "Wizard". After selecting skin it will display some dialogs to try and pinpoint user type (normal user, power user etc). This is to have good start settings, so forum/my mail won't get cluttered too much, and will hopefully give the user a better start experience.
  • Improved Executor window is now better at getting focus when pressing hotkey (for example open pop-up menus in the taskbar could deny focus, like active program button groups).
  • Improved the "write to disk" routine. Should be about much faster, and use less resources than the standard component that was used before.
  • Improved behavior of "only one instance running" keywords when an instance is running and triggering keyword again (often nothing would appear).
  • Improved when typing something and auto completion suggests a text that doesn't fit the input field, the input field will be scrolled to the right. Now if continuing typing the suggested text might change to something that does fit the input field, but the visual area of the input field is still scrolled to the right. This will now be detected and visual area will be scrolled back to start of input.
  • Improved some behavior when opening windows that are minimized.
  • Changed clipboard list is now sorted so latest items will be in top of the list.
  • Renamed "Programs" to "Indexed items" and most "scan" terms to "index" to simplify terms a bit.
  • Fixed some issues with indexing and a minor memory leak.
  • Fixed an issue with multiple commands on command-line.
  • Fixed a hotkey bug that could affect certain hotkeys (if you had problems with hotkeyed $CE$ you might wanna try again).
  • Fixed an issue with users that have switched mouse button behavior (left-handed setup etc.) couldn't move skinned window (was alpha skins only).
  • Fixed a memory leak and possible access violation.
  • Fixed some rare error dialogs that could popup when scanning.
  • Fixed a bug with list skin not always being stretched correctly.
  • Fixed a GDI object leak when using alphaskins. Specially annoying if infoenabled was enabled with alphaskin.
  • Fixed a bug that could rarely occur when having Executor running on windows startup.
  • Fixed a bug where under certain circumstances launching an item could cause a access violation.
  • Fixed annoying bug that under certain circumstances would prevent indexed items from being shown in auto-completion.
  • Fixed expected behavior when assigning time or ip to a hotkey.
  • Fixed that under certain conditions, Windows could pop-up a "No media inserted drive" dialog when scanning, or listing certain history items.
  • Fixed a bug that after using keyword editor groups wouldn't execute properly.
  • Fixed so shell: commands with space works.
  • Fixed an issue with clipboard handling.
  • Fixed having defined an optional browser, it's home folder will be set when an url is Executed (Opera for example seem to require this).
  • Fixed clipboard list won't trim and remove linefeed when selecting an item. Also linefeed will be displayed as {BR} in the clipboard list.
  • Fixed that when option "Stay on top" is enabled, the Executor window could stay on top of the settings window or keyword editor window.
  • Fixed that listing apps can freeze if a listed app is hanging.
  • Fixed that scanned/indexed items that are not shortcuts (.lnk) will have their own folder set as working folder when executed.
  • Fixed a bug with "Open keyword editor maximized" and when it was maximized and restored.
  • Fixed issue with show info on focus keep reappearing when using arrow keys etc to navigate input field content.
  • Fixed a system tray icon issue when using the option "Display window frame" and skins using this option.
  • Fixed a bug with list not showing additional scan paths when disabling scanning of start-menu and control panel items.
  • Fixed spelling of ?hibernate default keyword.



Veranderingen voor v0.97 Beta - v0.98 Beta

  • Added ability to add custom scan paths for indexing/scanning.
  • Added that the icon for each keyword can now be customized.
  • Added a new more organized settings interface with more options (some where previously hidden).
  • Added list can now also contain large items, where each item has a 32x32 pixel icon [Screenshot] (See "List appearance wizard" button in "Drop down / list" settings). The wizard can also change font and fontsize for the list.
  • Added optional "Group" as a new keyword property. By this you can for example give all your browser keywords (ie, firefox, opera etc). the group "browsers". Then if you type "browsers" in the input field all keywords with the group browsers will be displayed in the drop down / list. Group names will also be auto-completed in input. Trying to Execute a group will open the drop-down / list with the group items.
  • Added index settings now tell the amount of index items, and "scan now" button gives a bit more feedback.
  • Added the keyword "apps" to the default keywords. This will list (and option to open) current running applications. Also each can be right-clicked for a number of options.
  • Added the keyword "clipboard" to the default keywords. This will list previous clipboard text. Also each can be right-clicked for a number of options.
  • Added the keyword "recent" to the default keywords. This will list (and option to open) most recent documents.
  • Added lastfm to the default keywords.
  • Added an option to run keywords/commands on startup. Found in settings (under misc.)
  • Added setting "Always align to center of screen" to "General" settings.
  • Added setting "Lock window position and size". The setting can be found in "General" settings, and in the context menu if you right-click Executor and select "More...".
  • Added setting "Only auto-complete when cursor is at end of text, or at start of suggestion." This makes auto-completion less aggresive, and allows for easier editing of text to avoid auto-completion suggesting something while for example editing the middle part of the text input. Can be found in settings under "Input, wording & auto-completion".
  • Added "Quick launch" and "Desktop" items are now scanned for short-cuts too.
  • Added Auto-completion in drop-down (by typing something while focus is on drop-down).
  • Added a setting to "Drop down / list" called "Auto size to fit number of items". If enabled this will trim down (auto size) the height of the list, if list contains less than the max number of visible items.
  • Added keyword editor columns will size adjust better when resizing keyword editor.
  • Added in keyword editor that you can sort the list by keyword name, hotkey or group, by clicking that specific column header.
  • Added hidden setting specialsolo. If set to 1 $APPS$ and $RECENT$ will be shown isolated (default). If set to 0 they will be shown along with other matching items.
  • Added keyword "center" to the "windowkeywords.exc" file (for importing).
  • Added an option to always open the keyword editor maximized (found in Settings/misc).
  • Added when Executor is set to not resolve network path icons, it will instead display a default network folder icon.
  • Added "Add keyword" will now also detect if an url or a command is currently typed in the input field and use this as default for the keyword command being added.
  • Added hidden setting (in executor.ini) named borderstyle. 0 (default) = rounded border, 1 = square border.
  • Added the tag $APPS$. If you include this tag in a keywords command, typing the keyword will list the current open applications. If you select one of them it will activate that application (like alt-tab). Added this as I was tired of some remote desktop clients not supporting alt-tab etc.
  • Added the tag $RECENT$. If you include this tag in a keywords command, typing the keyword will list the recent documents (just as going to the start-menu and selecting "recent documents").
  • Added the tag $CLIPBOARD$. If you include this tag in a keywords command, typing the keyword will list clipboard text history.
  • Added tag $SETPOS$. This can set the position of Executor.. Syntax is: keywordname x,y (Add a keyword with command $SETPOS$).
  • Added tag $WCENTER$. It will center the current focused window on the monitor it's displayed on (in case of multiple monitors).
  • Added a new tag $CE$ (clipboard extended) that is useful with a keyword that has a hotkey assigned. This will copy marked text to clipboard and launch the marked text. If the marked text is not an url or filepath it will launch the marked text to a default keyword as parameter, else it will launch the url or the filepath. The name of the default keyword can be modified in the inifile and is named "fastsearch".. It defaults to the keyword "google". So how is this useful ? Make a new keyword for example called "textlaunch", set it's command property to $CE$ and select a hotkey for the keyword. Now if you mark some text in a window somewhere (browser, email client etc) press the hotkey you assigned and the marked text will be copied to clipboard and launched. If you don't have a keyword named google, open the executor.ini and modify the value called fastsearch to your default internet search keyword.
  • Improved Executor will no longer wait for scanning (if a scan is in progress) when closing down Executor (it will stop scanning gracefully instead).
  • Improved keyword editor window can now be resized more easily.
  • Improved "Scan for dead keywords". Now handles quoted commands and multiple command keywords better.
  • Improved startup keywords/commands/etc. won't trigger any sound.
  • Modified the tag $WRESIZE$. It can now take two optional parameters X and Y position of the window syntax is like this "200x200,10,20" (widthXheight,xpos,ypos).
  • Modified the tag $WRESIZE$. It can now take an optional parameter to center. Syntax is like this "200x200,center" (widthXheight,center).
  • Fixed an annoying bug where under certain circumstances when pressing a keywords hotkey, Executor would instead launch last selected/executed command from text input.
  • Fixed a bug with "Detect and hide duplicate items" option, that could hide unique scanned items.
  • Fixed that "Don't try to resolve network paths" option also applies to keyword commands containing network paths. Else this could stall Executor if visible part of list contained a keyword pointing to an unconnected network path.
  • Fixed a bug where in some multi-screen environments stored window position would not be correct on start up.
  • Fixed when keywords editor or settings dialog is open, Executor won't auto-hide when moving focus to something else (if auto-hide is enabled).
  • Fixed some dialogs that could sometimes sneak behind Executor/settings window. Making it very hard to respond to the dialog.
  • Fixed Executor sometimes appearing twice in the alt-tab view when visible.
  • Fixed launching a keyword by hotkey and keyword fails will not pop up the "Seems broken" message (that message is only meant for the "Test" keyword button).
  • Fixed drag and drop to window should work with alpha skins now.
  • Fixed visual glitch that sometimes with alpha skins you can briefly see previous command executed before Executor hides (probably only on slower/stressed computers).
  • Fixed an annoying bug with alpha skins and stay-on-top enabled (and no auto-hide) where Executor would in some cases keep grabing window focus.
  • Fixed F9 should work now when drop down is visible but don't have focus.
  • Fixed conflict with "show info on focus" and "clear last input" settings (show info now overrides).



Veranderingen voor v0.96.6 Beta - v0.97 Beta

  • Added a new skin type called alpha. This supports alpha blending and free positioning of all elements. Supports 32bit alpha channel bitmaps (same possibilities as png). Skin creation has also been simplified for this type. A guide can be found on the website.
  • Added two alpha skins (Thanks to Dan Mendez for making them). Added one of them to the wizard.
  • Added support for all environment varibles, and not just a few selected ones.
  • Added more window commands (width, height, resize).
  • Added if keyword does not use any $P* or $U* tags (in command, parameter or path) and given a parameter when executed, it will act as virtually append a $P$ to the keyword's parameter field.
  • Added so input and button background can now be transparent against skin and don't have to be one specific color. This should make life a bit easier when creating skins (to enable in skinfile medium and alpha set transparentcontrols=1). This makes Executor capable of the same eye-candy as other popular eye-candy launchers.
  • Added so $W$ (wait command) now support number of seconds. Example $W5$ for five seconds.
  • Added tag $C$ that will be replaced by text from the clipboard.
  • Added tag $H$ (for home) it will return the full path to executor.exe
  • Added font property bold will now be saved. Can also be set in skinfiles with fontbold=1 (can be handy if input is transparent and displayed on a hard to read background).
  • Added hidden setting nolistprogramsiconcache. If set to false (0) programs icons will be loaded and cached, meaning they will be displayed much faster but also take up more memory (on my computer like 4mb extra) and initial programs detecting will be a bit slower as icons have to be loaded (like two seconds more on my computer).
  • Added a hidden setting called autosorteditor.. will sort keywords in editor after closing the keyword editor.
  • Added hidden setting "fastesc" where if enabled pressing the "esc" key once will hide Executor if autohide is enabled, no matter what text is in the input field.
  • Added hidden settings infocustomtime, customtime, dropdownfontname, dropdownfontsize.
  • Added hidden setting notrailingspace. If enabled Executor will never append a space character to the input (will override smart keyword param. detection).
  • Added new dll hookwinr.dll to replace wingrab.dll (for option to grab win-r).
  • Improved popup at cursor smarter with multiscreen and taskbar.
  • Improved launching and context-menu of some "Programs" items.
  • Improved pressing ESC when all text is selected will hide Executor if autohide is enabled.
  • Improved The priority setting in the settings dialog will now set process base priority, which will have a greater impact (can be confirmed in the taskmanager).
  • Improved the two files "defaultinternet.htm" and defaultemail.eml" is no longer needed, or included with Executor.
  • Fixed a bug in the hotkey manager.
