Что нового в Actual Window Guard
[!] Важно
[+] Новое
[-] Исправлена ошибка
[*] Изменено
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14.5 (12.02.2021)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Windows 10 x64 Insider Preview, сборка 21277+: Программа завершала работу
с ошибкой сразу после запуска.
[+] Система лицензирования: Ознакомительный период продляется на треть от
исходного при установке обновления, выпущенного после даты истечения
подписки на бесплатные обновления.
[-] Неверная работа с памятью могла вызывать каскадные ошибки в Центре
управления после его запуска, если была включена функция «Собирать
статистику использования».
[-] Окна некоторых приложений (например, Directory Opus) перестали реагировать
на команды Центра управления (такие, как пауза/возобновление или изменение
настроек).
[-] Оконные действия: Действие «Запустить клавиатурный макрос» принудительно
удерживало своё целевое окно в фокусе, что могло мешать, если конечная цель
исполняемого макроса подразумевала активацию другого окна (особенно при
активации макроса не событием «При запуске окна», а любым другим способом).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14.4 (10.10.2020)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Проверена и усилена внутренняя безопасность для соблюдения принципа
минимально необходимых привилегий (в частности, для объектов ядра,
используемых в межпроцессной коммуникации).
[!] Проверена и улучшена внутренняя обработка ошибок для лучшего взаимодействия
с приложениями, работающими на платформе .NET (и, возможно также, другими
платформами/фреймворками).
[!] Оптимизирована внутренняя обработка информации о видеоустройствах для
уменьшения общей задержки, возникавшей при изменении геометрии Рабочего
стола (т.е. при подключении/отключении монитора или изменении разрешения
какого-либо из подключённых мониторов).
[+] Настройки окон: Добавлена возможность применять настройки окон к таким
системных всплывающим окнам, как Центр уведомлений, Громкость, Сеть и
собственно окнам уведомлений.
[*] Оконные действия: Функция «Предотвращать случайное закрытие окна -
подтверждать закрытие» теперь работает в приложениях на базе движка Mozilla
(Firefox, Thunderbird, Pale Moon) и некоторых приложениях на базе движка
Chromium (Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Яндекс.Браузер, Brave,
десктоп-версия Skype).
[-] В некоторых редких случаях приложения могли зависнуть после переприменения
их оконных настроек или выгрузки Actual Window Guard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14.3 (27.12.2019)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] В редких случаях работающие приложения могли аварийно завершаться
в случайные моменты времени.
[!] Некоторые приложения (продукты Adobe, TechSmith, Parametric Technologies
и ряд других) зависали, если одновременно были запущены две или более
программы Actual Tools (зависание устранялось выгрузкой всех программ
Actual Tools за исключением одной).
[-] Оконные действия: Функция «Блокировать преждевременное появление окна»
не работала, как заявлено, в приложениях на базе движка Chromium.
[-] Оконные действия: После применения действия «Позади остальных» при запуске
окна система могла вести себя, как если бы клавиша Alt была нажата (реальное
нажатие на физическую клавишу Alt убирало этот эффект).
[-] В некоторых азиатских языках (китайский, японский) не читался текст
на кнопках в диалоге «Ознакомительная версия».
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14.2 (29.10.2019)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Многочисленные исправления внутренних механизмов времени выполнения
для повышения производительности и надёжности.
[+] Добавлена возможность обновления лицензионного ключа (команда «Ввести новый
лицензионный ключ» на панели «Инструменты - Регистрация» окна Конфигурации
или в контекстном меню значка Actual Window Guard в области
уведомлений).
[*] Оконные действия: Функция «Перемещать «расщеплённые» окна» теперь работает
корректно в многомониторном окружении.
[-] Журнал мониторинга окон: Исправлены следующие ошибки:
- перетаскивание исключённого окна быстро заполняло журнал дубликатами
события «Новое окно»;
- за событием «Изменился заголовок» всегда следовало дублирующее событие
«Новое окно»;
- само окно журнала не попадало в журнал.
[-] Конфигурация: Панель оконных настроек «Главная»:
- не отображала заданные параметры элементов «Фиксировать
минимальные/максимальные размеры» в разделе «Размер»;
- показывала внутренние нелокализованные идентификаторы в разделе «Запуск»
после любых изменений на панели «Запуск».
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14.1 (09.07.2019)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Для улучшения совместимости с системами, работающими на многоядерных
процессорах, пересмотрена внутренняя логика обработчиков системных ловушек.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.14 (15.05.2019)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Microsoft Office 2013+: Окна приложений повисали на долгое время (до
нескольких минут) после разблокировки сеанса пользователя.
[*] Конфигурация: Окна и диалоги Конфигуратора теперь корректно масштабируют
содержимое в зависимости от текущего разрешения DPI.
[-] Оконные действия: Окна Google Chrome, будучи в полноэкранном или киоск-
режиме, не реагировали на применение действий «Ограничить размещение» и
«Фиксировать минимальные/максимальные размеры».
[-] Конфигурация: Перестала работать команда «Скопировать настройки из».
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.13.3 (28.11.2018)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Windows 10 сборка 17763+: Системный процесс SmartScreen потреблял до 100%
ресурсов ЦП, если был запущен Actual Window Guard.
[!] Оконные настройки: Начиная с версии 8.13, перестали работать исключения.
[*] Конфигурация: Окна редактирования специальных настроек теперь полностью
независимы от главного окна Конфигуратора:
- нажатие кнопки «Применить» сразу сохраняет сделанные изменения (нет
необходимости нажимать кнопку «Применить» ещё и в главном окне);
- окна остаются полностью рабочими и после закрытия главного окна.
[-] Оконные действия: Действие «Ограничить размещение» не срабатывало для
развёрнутых окон Google Chrome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.13.2 (12.10.2018)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Windows Vista/7: Процесс dwm.exe завершался с ошибкой каждый раз при
завершении работы Центра Управления Actual Window Guard.
[-] Конфигурация: В очень больших разрешениях DPI (> 200%), подпись первой
настройки в группе частично перекрывала заголовок самой группы.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

в группе «Панель инструментов» на панели «Настройки - Интерфейс
пользователя».
[-] Windows 10, Настройки окон: Специальные настройки не применялись к
UWP-приложениям, запущенным в полноэкранном режиме (Groove, Solitaire
Collection и т.п.).
[-] Конфигурация: Панель «Общие настройки - Открыть приложение» отображала
неверную информацию из-за изменений, сделанных в предыдущей версии.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.13 (21.08.2018)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Windows x64: Значительно снижена нагрузка на систему, особенно на
многоядерных ЦП.
[*] Конфигурация: Теперь окна корректно масштабируются при запуске согласно
значению разрешения DPI, установленного для монитора, на котором они
открываются.
[-] Перемещение на монитор: После перемещения максимизированного окна
Google Chrome на монитор с другим разрешением DPI оно уходило за пределы
видимой области Рабочего стола.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.12.1 (21.04.2018)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Windows x64: В некоторых редких случаях приложения могли аварийно
завершаться.

аварийно завершали работу, если был запущен Actual Window Guard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.11 (20.06.2017)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[+] Windows 10: Добавлена возможность создания специальных оконных настроек
для приложений Metro (UWP), таких, как Параметры, Edge, Skype, Магазин,

новая версия, правый клик по значку Actual Window Guard в области
уведомлений вместо показа контекстного меню запускал установку новой версии.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.10 (29.12.2016)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Windows x64: Значительно улучшена стабильность (больше не должно возникать
проблем с высоким потреблением ресурсов ЦП, а также падений других программ
при запуске Actual Window Guard).
[*] Конфигурация: Диалоги «Проверить регулярное выражение» и «Выбрать окно из

[*] Конфигурация: Страницы навигации теперь отображают всплывающую подсказку
с полным текстом названия панели, если он оказался длиннее ширины заголовка
панели.
[-] Конфигурация: При большом размере шрифта интерфейса (установленном вручную
в настройках интерфейса или выбранном автоматически из-за высокого
разрешения DPI) названия панелей навигации не помещались в заголовок

набрав несколько букв названия того, что нужно найти.
Поисковый движок учитывает следующую текстовую информацию:
1) заголовки панелей интерфейса и всех их подэлементов (тексты подсказок
к подэлементам пока игнорируются ради скорости поиска);
2) названия встроенных и добавляемых пользователем объектов следующих типов:
- специальные настройки окон
- оконные исключения
- горячие клавиши
- предопределённые ярлыки действия "Открыть приложение"
[*] Конфигурация: Команды "Отменить/Вернуть" теперь отслеживают изменения

в категорию "Настройки окон".
[+] Конфигурация: Добавлена возможность выбрать все элементы в списках, где
разрешено мультивыделение, нажав комбинацию клавиш Ctrl-A. Поскольку ранее
эта комбинация использовалась для добавления нового элемента в список,
комбинация для команды "Новый элемент" изменена на Ctrl-N.
[*] Конфигурация: Унифицированы комбинации клавиш для списочных операций во всех
панелях редактирования списков:

Ctrl--, Ctrl-Num- - выключить все элементы (если доступно)
Ctrl-A - выбрать все элементы (если доступно)
[*] Конфигурация: Убран запрос подтверждения для операции "Удалить выбранный
элемент" во всех панелях редактирования списков. Если вы случайно удалили
нужный элемент - воспользуйтесь кнопкой "Отменить" в левом нижнем углу
главного окна Конфигуратора или нажмите горячую клавишу (по умолчанию
Ctrl-Z).
[*] Конфигурация: Устранено мерцание при изменении размеров окон конфигурации
и их содержимого.
[*] Windows 10: Горячие клавиши теперь работают в Metro-приложениях.
[*] Конфигурация: Отдельные окна редактирования оконных настроек теперь
запоминают свои положение/размер и восстанавливают их при следующем
открытии.
[-] Установщик: При деинсталляции программы отображались интерактивные запросы,
даже если деинсталлятор был запущен из командной строки с параметрами
/SILENT или /VERYSILENT.
[-] Конфигурация: Свёрнутые окна не восстанавливались в ответ на щелчок

[+] Теперь вы можете приостановить/возобновить работу Actual Window Guard
через командную строку, используя следующий синтаксис:
Приостановка: ActualWindowGuardCenter.exe suspend
Возобновление: ActualWindowGuardCenter.exe resume
[*] Если Actual Window Guard был установлен в защищённый каталог
(например, «Program Files») с использованием прав администратора, но
используется под учётной записью с обычными правами, теперь установщик
обновлений предупреждает, что его необходимо запустить с административными
привилегиями для обновления установки в защищённом каталоге.
[-] Windows 10: Системный переключатель задач Alt-Tab работал некорректно, если
была активирована функция «Поместить при запуске на монитор - Содержащий

"Manage window settings" title button (separate window for each settings).
When several configuration windows are open at once, changes made within
a particular window are isolated there until you click the Apply button
in that window.
[!] Changes made in the Default Window Settings now are propagated automatically
to all existing specific window settings (provided that the old value
was the same in both Default and particular specific settings).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Window Guard 8.0 (26.08.2013)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Начиная с версии 8.0, меняются условия лицензирования: теперь необходимо
приобретать столько лицензий программы, сколько пользователей (физических
лиц) будут использовать её одновременно. Ограничение на количество
рабочих станций, на которых программу можно установить и зарегистрировать
с одним и тем же лицензионным ключом, отсутствует до тех пор, пока
количество одновременных пользователей программы (физических лиц)
не превышает количества приобретённых лицензий. Более подробная информация
содержится в документе license.txt, расположенном в каталоге установки
программы.
[!] Начиная с версии 8.0, меняются условия обновления: теперь покупка
лицензионного ключа также означает приобретение подписки на бесплатные
обновления в течение 1 (одного) календарного года, начиная с момента
покупки. По истечении данного срока подписку, при желании, можно будет
продлить ещё на год, приобретя новый лицензионный ключ (при покупке
продления предоставляется скидка). В противном случае, можно продолжить
использование последнего полученного обновления в течение неограниченного
срока (программа остаётся зарегистрированной и полностью работоспособной).
Продлить подписку можно в любой момент после того, как истёк срок
предыдущей.
[+] Support of child windows within multi-document interface (MDI) applications
is added. The most well-known example of such windows are Microsoft Excel
workbooks. However, because of speciality of such windows some window
actions cannot be applied to them, and others work differently than for
usual top-level windows (for more information, please refer to User Manual).
[+] Korean language is added (translation provided by pCsOrI).
[+] AutoUpdate is finally available. Now, Actual Window Guard not only
checks for a new version but also downloads and installs it automatically.
[+] Collection of usage statistics is added. When enabled, it is keeping record
of any window manipulation you undertake in a special log file.
Collection of usage statistics is enabled by default. If you encounter any
problems with it then you can disable it in the "Options - General" panel.
Otherwise, please keep it enabled for a sufficient time (at least several
days) to let Actual Window Guard collect enough statistical data. Then,
please send us your configuration using the Send to Tech Support button in
the "Tools - Configuration" panel. This will help us analyze and better
understand the preferences and needs of our users and improve our products
more consciously and purposefully.
[*] Dutch translation is revised.
[*] After setting window position using the Align Window action, the window
retains the set alignment when changing the size using the Resize Window
action, until the user drags the window or changes its size manually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actual Window Guard - точный, аккуратный и ненавязчивый помощник, который освободит вас от утомительных рутинных манипуляций с окнами, взяв их на себя. С его помощью можно автоматически: задать режим появления окна (обычное, свёрнутое, развёрнутое), выровнять окно относительно экрана (вверху слева, вверху посередине, точно в центре, внизу справа и т.д.), закрывать ненужные всплывающие окна, предотвращать случайное закрытие важных окон, сохранять при закрытии и восстанавливать при открытии положение/размер окон, и многое другое.
