Alexey, et al.;

Before I begin, let me just say that you have once again provided an
incredible product that solves many issues that I have wished solved
for a long time.  Kudos to you!

Some minor suggestions about the Configuration Manager.  These are
just ideas that I'm coming across while using your product, and
thought I would share with you.

One small feature request for the forums themselves - please implement
a Preview Post function that allows a user to look at a post before
submitting it.  Thank you!

I will tackle any suggestions / feature requests regarding the default
rules, property pages, and additional options in a future post if
needed.

Thank you.

[b]01) Configuration Files[/b]
-   I think it would be an interesting feature to incorporate an
easier method to switch between configuration files, instead of the
implemented Import / Export.  I envision a modification that would
allow a user to create a New Configuration File, Open an Existing
Configuration File, Save to the Current Configuration File, and Save
As a Configuration File.  Similiar to what you might see on a standard
text editor, this would allow a user to easier create, edit, save,
etc. multiple configuration files, for instances where the user wants
a different configuration depending on a particular circumstance, or
just wants to create a new configuration to test something out.  Have
these file(s) saved to a default directory inside of My Documents
named Actual Window Manager Configurations.  This would also further
ease the process of having multiple versions installed (regular
version vs. beta version) and such.

[b]02) Mistakes[/b]
-   I make mistakes while using just about any application in the
world.  Like many, the Undo feature of many applications has saved me
a lot of pain.  I think an Undo feature would be a good addition, so
you can easily revert a rule to the state it was before you made your
error.

[b]03) Tool Bar[/b]
-   Add the ability to show a small description on each button, move
buttons around, add new buttons, remove buttons, etc.  Think of what
newer Windows applications allow, such as Microsoft Office 2003 and
Mozilla Firefox.

[b]04) Status Bar[/b]
-   Add a status bar to the program.  The status bar would offer a
brief description of the current option / rule / etc.  For instance,
when selecting the Startup property screen of a rule, the Status Bar
would read "Modify Window Startup Options" or whatever.

[b]05) Menu Bar[/b]
-   The standard menu for essentially any Windows application usually
starts with File, Edit, View, a number of application specific menus,
and ends with Window and Help.  I think mimicking this with AWM
Configuration would make the product easier to use and more intuitive,
as most users are familiar with this layout.
-   Proposed menu layout:
    (Note:  3 Dashes (-) indicates where I would place a divisor line
    in the menu.
    * File
      ** New Configuration (Ctrl - N)
         - Create a new configuration file, either using an existing
         configuration file as a template, or a blank configuration
         file, similiar to what I would see after I install AWM.  See
         #01 above.
      ** Open Configuration... (Ctrl - O)
         - Open an existing configuration file.  See #01 above.
      ** Close Configuration (Ctrl - W)
         - Close the current configuration file.  See #01 above.
      ** ---
      ** Save Configuration (Ctrl - S)
         - Save the current configuration file.  See #01 above.
      ** Save Configuration As... (Ctrl - Shift - S)
         - Save the current configuration file, while prompting for
         the location / file name.  See #01 above.
      ** ---
      ** Exit Configuration Manager (Alt - F4)
         - Exit the Configuration Manager without exiting AWM.
    * Edit
      ** Undo Rule Change (Ctrl - Z)
         - Undo the most recent change made to the current rule.  See
         #02 above.
      ** Redo Rule Change (Ctrl - Y)
         - Redo the most recent change that was undone by the Undo
         command made to the current rule.  See #02 above.
      ** ---
      ** Cut Rule (Ctrl - X)
         - Copy the contents of the current rule to the clipboard and
         remove the rule from the configuration.
      ** Copy Rule (Ctrl - C)
         - Copy the contents of the current rule to the clipboard and
         leave the rule in the configuration.
      ** Paste Rule (Ctrl - V)
         - Paste the contents of the current rule in the clipboard to
         the configuration.
      ** Clear Rule
         - Clear all elements from the current rule, exluding the
         options under Target Window.  Sets all options equal to that
         of All Windows.  Replaces Retore to Defaults.
      ** Delete Rule (Ctrl - D)
         - Remove the current rule from the configuration.
      ** ---
      ** Options...
         - Open the Options window.
    * View
      ** Toolbars
         *** General Toolbar
             - Ability to show / hide the general toolbar.  See #03
             above.
      ** Status Bar
         - Ability to show / hide the status bar.  See #04 above.
      ** ---
      ** Text Size
         - Similiar to what you would find on a web browser.  Scales
         the text / object size of all elements, allowing to see more
         on a screen or making things easier to read.
    * Actual Window Manager
      ** Load / Unload Actual Windows Manager.
         - One option instead of two, as is current.  Toggles between
         the two, depending on the current state.
      ** Enable / Disable Actual Windows Manager.
         - One option instead of two, as is current (instead of Start
         / Stop).  Toggles between the two, depending on the current
         state.
      ** ---

         - Enable all rules in the current configuration.
      ** Disable All Rules (Ctrl - -)
         - Disable all rules in the current configuration.

      ** Sort Ascending
         - Sort all rules in ascending alphabetic order.
      ** Sort Descending
         - Sort all rules in descending alphabetic order.
    * Window
      - I see no reason to have this menu option, unless you intend to
      build functionality that allows a user to see multiples rules at
      the same time.
    * Help
      ** Contents (F1)
         - Context help.  Same functionality as is current.

         the latest version on the website.  Direct to download if
         neccesary.  This is prefered over a newsletter.
      ** ---
      ** Tell a Friend
         - Write an email to a friend.  Same functionality as is
         current, but I would not include the first paragraph as is.
      ** Submit Configuration to Tech Support
         - Submit the current configuration file to tech support, and
         possibly direct the user directly to the Technical Support
         forum on the website.
