This release brings two key new features that our customers have been requesting.
The first is the ability to restrict items to acting only on foreground windows – those that currently have “focus”. This might not sound like a big deal in itself, but it enables PTFB Pro to be used in a number of new ways. For example, a common source of annoyance on Windows is that different programs often use different keyboard shortcuts for what is basically the same action. This new release of PTFB Pro allows you to bind that common action in all your favorite programs to a hotkey of your choosing, so there’s no longer a need to remember the program-specific keys. One of our customers who has reduced hand function is already using this to make it easier to drive his favorite apps.
The second new feature is the ability to temporarily enable an otherwise disabled macro when certain circumstances occur. This makes it possible to chain macros together in remarkably sophisticated ways, but rather than asking them to run immediately, you simply enable them to run when the time is right.
Here is the full list of changes for this release:
- Added ability to limit items to fire only on foreground windows (those with focus).
- Added ability to temporarily enable an item from within a macro
- Added “cycle” option to Switch To Prog macro action
- Minor user interface improvements.
- Changes/Additions to the Help file.
- Note that the file format has changed with this release.
