Sorry for so many small updates this week!
There were a lot of minor and quick to fix issues people brought up like only 1 desktop showing in the window selection list, a CPU usage issue, and a few other minor bugs.
To avoid the wait times of going through beta testing, I just pushed them straight to live as they were pretty important fixes! :)

This only gets a changelog as it's got several fixes in one update. Now that these issues have been ironed out, I'll continue to work on new features!

Thanks for your patience and support.
Sorry about the issues with settings files resetting! These issues weren't brought to my attention during beta testing, if you want to help avoid these issues in the future, please help test the beta branch and provide your feedback in our Discord! Thanks!
