  • New and Changes
  • - New setting: "Backup on Save": Create a zip file backup in SideSlide's settings folder when using F8 to save the workspace.
  • - Use the Esc key to shrink an expanded container and to fold an unfolded one (when unfolded using double-click on its name label).
  • - The right-click menu option 'Copy Path' (to copy the shortcut's full path to the clipboard) now changes to "Copy Command" when right-clicking System Command shortcuts, and will copy the command instead of the path to Cmd.exe. In addition, it now changes into 'Copy URL' when right-clicking URL shortcuts.
  • - Copy Path/Command/URL menu command is now hidden when multiple shortcuts are selected.
  • - 'Open File Location' and 'Command Prompt' right-click menu commands now work with multiple selected shortcuts.
  • - Downgraded Setup program (Inno Setup) to generate smaller installation file, while also restoring the ability to install SideSlide on Windows XP.
  • Fixes
  • - Program crashed clicking the workspace when maximized on higher resolution monitors.
  • - Paste to container menu option (paste copied shortcut into a new container) could have placed the shortcut outside the visible area in the new container.
  • - Moving shortcuts with the keyboard (Ctrl+Arrow keys) would have launch the top most shortcut when using single click to start shortcuts.
  • - Disabled the option to drag System Command shortcuts to other shortcuts and vice versa.
  • - The Send To menu is now hidden when right-clicking System Command shortcuts.


Veranderingen voor v4.3.00 - v4.3.60

  • New and Changes
  • - Added Alt+O keyboard shortcut to open shortcuts' file location (target path). This keyboard shortcut is useful to open the path of shortcuts when using the Keyboard Launcher.
  • - Add Reminder dialog: The +/- buttons to add/subtract minutes to/from the time now change the reminder's time by 5 minutes (previously it was 10).
  • - You can now open multiple files from the Windows Explorer (Desktop, etc) with a shortcut within SideSlide by dragging the files from Explorer over the shortcut in the workspace.
  • Fixes
  • - Random program crash when expanding shrunken containers.
  • - Dragging a shortcut by its icon and dropping it on its own label moved the shortcut even when the workspace was locked for editing.
  • - Command line arguments help screen (running: "sideslide.exe /?") was incorrectly formated.
  • - Fixed "losing" the workspace (or, workspace becomes transparent) when changing resolution, screen orientation, moving the taskbar across the screen or connecting/disconnecting an external monitor (when Dock >> Size >> Normal is used). The workspace will now be centered so you can easily reposition it.


Veranderingen voor v4.2.90 - v4.3.00

  • - Completely redesigned Settings & Appearance Dialog. It's now much easier to review and change the program's settings by selecting the desired section from the list on the left-hand side of the dialog and then the options on the right-hand side.
  • - Refresh RSS using Shift + Left Click on the container title or icon (when the container is shrunk).


Veranderingen voor v4.2.80 - v4.2.90

  • New and Changes
  • - Multiple changes to containers' tooltip making this feature much more useful:
  • What it is: Container tooltips show up when the mouse hovers over the container icon when shrunk or title when folded to see information about items within the container (shortcuts, RSS headlines, notes, etc).
  • - The mouse handling tips on how to control the container with the mouse (expand, shrink, move, etc) have been moved to the bottom of the tooltip, and can now be completely hidden from the new drop down list on the right of the Tooltip check box in the Settings dialog.
  • - Switch to "Info" from the drop down list once you are familiar with the various ways of controlling containers with the mouse.
  • - Other misc. minor changes to the way the tips are displayed.
  • - New Themes: Dark Order/ Blue Order/ Techno Brown/ Techno Blue (including wallpapers, title-bar buttons and colors).
  • - New Color theme/buttons: Modern Dark.

Veranderingen voor v4.2.50 - v4.2.80

  • New and Changes
  • - Added a new right-click menu to the Lock/Unlock Workspace for Editing button (top right corner of the workspace, next to the Dock button). You can now select between locking the movement of all objects in the workspace or only shortcuts.
  • - Added setting "Start Web Search on Spacebar" under the Keyboard Navigation/Web Search section in the Settings dialog. Selecting this option will cause any input in the Keyboard Launcher that includes a space character to start a web search, as opposed to entering 's ' + search query. Omitting the space will look for workspace shortcuts instead.
  • - When a single shortcut is selected and it's inside a container, the container's name will be shown in square brackets (in the workspace title-bar). This is useful when using the Keyboard Launcher to find shortcuts that are inside shrunken containers.
  • - Added a new command to the shortcuts' right-click menu: "Command Prompt" below the "Open File Location" menu item. This will open the command prompt in the location of the shortcut's root folder.
  • - Added "Keyboard Launcher" menu item to the main workspace menu to show the keyboard launcher using the mouse.
  • - Added "What's New" link to the Container library dialog (performs the same action when leaving the search field empty and pressing enter/clicking the Go button)
  • - RSS News Feeds Subject Tracker: When a subject is found and an headline is highlighted, the RSS News Feed container small RSS icon (the icon drawn on top of the container icon to indicate it's an RSS container) will change into green, to indicate that subjects you are tracking were found, in case the container is shrunk when refreshed.
  • - RSS Viewer toolbar buttons are now at the top of the window and the RSS selector is the first item from the left (replacing the refresh button).
  • - Other misc. minor changes.
  • Fixes
  • - Launching shortcuts at startup from the #STARTUP container caused the workspace to collapse to a Large docking border size when Normal or Small were selected.
  • - The Target Path ("Start in") was ignored when adding shortcuts from the Windows Explorer (Desktop, etc) to the workspace.
  • - RSS Subject Tracker >> Add (to add a new subject to track) and other input dialogs didn't always accept all input.


Veranderingen voor v4.2.00 - v4.2.50

  • Enhanced reminders functionality:
  • - New setting "Repeat Reminder" under the Settings dialog. Select this option to keep the reminder alert going for 10 times every 3 seconds, unless you snooze or mark it as complete.

  • - The reminder notification dialog is now bigger and easier to dismiss/change with the mouse or touch.

  • - A tooltip has been added to the reminder notification title in case the reminder name is too long to be fully visible.
  • - An additional alarm sound can be downloaded from here.
  • - Pretty small but significant UI change: New setting: Expand to Center (selected by default). Shrunk containers in the center of the workspace will expand to the center instead of to the right-hand side, as long as they remain fully visible once expanded. Deselect this option to revert to the previous behavior.
  • Remember: You can shrink containers back by double-clicking an empty space between the shortcuts or headlines (in RSS containers). RSS containers can also be shrunk back using the right mouse button.
  • Fixes
  • - Shrinking containers by double-clicking on an empty space inside could have caused a container or a shortcut below to move.


Veranderingen voor v4.1.00 - v4.2.00

  • New and Changes
  • Enhanced keyboard functionality:
  • - New KB Launcher command: Quick Reminder. Enter "r " followed by a value (minute) from 0 to 99 and then the reminder text. Example: "r 10 feed Charlie" (set a 10 minute reminder).
  • - Added the ability to, both, select shortcuts using [Shift] + [Arrow Keys] and move them across the workspace or within a container by holding down the [Ctrl] key. This new feature is especially useful to make small adjustments that are harder to do with the mouse.
  • - Ctrl+Enter: Run the selected shortcut as administrator.
  • - Ctrl+Number Speed Launch now also works to launch a shortcut when the Keyboard Launcher is visible.
  • - New option under the Shortcut Properties dialog: Prompt for Parameters. Selecting this option will always prompt for parameters before launching the selected shortcut. Any parameters already selected for the shortcut will appear in the message prompt and you can also ignore them altogether.
  • - Reminders: Added the ability to choose a custom background color for the reminder from within the Add Reminder dialog. Reminder: You can always change a reminder's colors by right-clicking it.
  • - Adding a new RSS feed does no longer check the validity of the URL using the built-in Windows function (if it fails, it fails) so you can now, for example, add Twitter feeds using TwitRSS.me
  • - New 'Web Search' command added to the shortcut's right-click menu to open the selected search engine and search the shortcut's name.
  • - Faster startup speed: Removed a Windows native function that that determines if a file exists before the shortcut's icon is drawn. This should slightly improve the loading speed when most of the files in the workspace exist on the local disk. It's best to place shortcuts to network files/folders in a container and not the workspace to improve startup speed.
  • - When using the Keyboard Launcher, shortcuts in network locations will now be displayed using a generic icon to improve speed.
  • - Undo/Redo buffer increased to 100.
  • - Added user's Desktop and Start Menu Programs shortcuts to new installations.

  • - Crash when deleting reminders from the reminder popup window after clearing the workspace.
  • - Wasn't working in a few of the last versions: When a single shortcut is selected, its name will now appear in the titlebar.
  • - Menu key/Shift+F10 now correctly shows the menu for the workspace or selected shortcuts.
  • - The shortcut Mini-toolbar is now closed when using the arrow keys to select shortcuts.
  • - Other misc. minor fixes.

  • - Added "Clear Undo/Redo Buffer" command to the "Arrange" menu.
  • - New "Start in Background" command added to the shortcut right-click menu. This new option allows you to launch selected shortcut(s) while keeping SideSlide in focus (the workspace will not automatically collapse).

Veranderingen voor v4.0.01 - v4.0.10

  • - Added the ability to open files from Windows (Desktop, etc) by dragging and dropping them on top of shortcuts in the workspace.

  • New and Changes
  • - New menu option, "Lock Size/Position", added to the Position menu: Selecting this option will lock the workspace position and size and you will not be able to move it via the titlebar or resize it. This is especially useful when undocking the workspace with the finger while working in tablet mode.
  • - Scroll RSS containers with your finger (on touch enabled devices) or by dragging the mouse pointer over the news feed (besides of using the mouse wheel/scrollbar).
  • - Added a new "Darker" option when selecting a color for selected shortcuts based on the color of the shortcut's icon (from the Shortcut Mini-toolbar). There are now two options to choose from: Darker and Lighter.

Use this command to automate SideSlide backup from within a scheduled task or a 3rd party backup software. Suppress the 'backup complete' dialog by using the "/silent" command line parameter: "\...\SideSlide>SideSlide /backup /silent".
  • - Launching SideSlide with the question mark ("/?") command line parameter will now show the available commands and exit the program.
  • - Removed 'Shrink/Expand All' and 'Fold/Unfold All' Arrange menu options. Those were very old functions from before SideSlide v1 which probably aren't used by anyone anymore (I hope).
  • - Minor adjustment to the location of the container's Fold/Unfold button.
  • - New default toolbar buttons ("Modern").
  • - Other misc. minor changes.
  • Fixes:

  • - Keyboard Launcher: Create quick notes by entering 'n:' or 'note:' followed by text.

  • Spacebar Flip (Use the space-bar to scroll through and focus on shrank and folded containers): New option under the Settings dialog 'Selected'. You can now add individual containers to the Spacebar Flip order (Right click a container >> Arrange >> Spacebar Flip). This is especially useful when using the Global Hotkey to invoke the workspace and the arrow keys to select shortcuts in different containers.

This setting can be adjusted globally or individually for each RSS container. You can also hold down the [Shift] key while hovering with the mouse over a headline in order to display the tooltip even if this option is unselected.
  • A new option under the Settings dialog, Container options: Focus on Expand/Unfold (selected by default). Focus on the container on expand/unfold so you can use the keyboard to launch shortcuts, scroll through headlines in RSS containers or enter text in note containers. With this option selected, the Grab Focus setting is redundant after expanding/unfolding a container.
  • The Keyboard Launcher is no longer shown by default when invoking the workspace using the global hotkey (for new installations). Use the arrow keys to focus on shortcuts or press any key to show the Keyboard Launcher.
  • Added a new menu item, Refresh Icons, to the main right-click menu under the Arrange sub-menu. This option reloads shortcut and container icons in case some of the files were not available when the program started. Pressing [Shift+F5] was always possible. •Fixes
