OVR Toolkit News

27-04-2020

Added:
- Modernized desktop settings window styling. (Thanks Fleur!)
- Updated window re-centering and block input icons in Window Settings.
- Added 'HidingDistanceCheck' option to config.json to allow advanced users to edit the distance around the head that is used to check for windows with hiding options enabled.
- Added ability to unbind Simulator Mode controls. (Press Escape when rebinding)

Changes:
- Separated toggle edit mode and maximise buttons on the wrist overlay.
- Converted to a different method for saving settings files. (Hopefully should save them more reliably!)
- Lower minimum height setting for window cropping to 5 from 20.
- Workshop content now automatically updates. (Content creators, upload updates with the same title to update existing items!)
- Edited background image to be 720x950 instead of 720x900. (Old backgrounds will load fine still!)

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue that would make context windows minimize when capturing the direct output of a window.
- Improved window reloading, should now be less likely to find incorrect windows on restarting the application.
- Fixed all subscribed items extracting on viewing Workshop viewer, now only extracts files on selecting them.
- Fixed an issue that would reset window crop area when reloading pinned windows.
- Fixed an issue that would cause incorrect loading of window crop area height value.
- Fixed an issue that would reload windows on preset 1 then switch upon opening edit mode.

20-04-2020

Added:
- Added an add preset button to Window List. (Unlimited presets, wooo!)
- Added lock button to presets in the Window List. (Will block movement of windows on the active preset)
- Added support for moving windows with both hands at the same time.
- Added middle click bind, unbound by default.
- Added 'Search' button to not found window screen, this will search again for the window.
- Added keyboard binds for switching presets, unbound by default. (Note, can't be unbound yet once bound!)

Changes:
- Swapped width and height buttons in Window Crop to encourage editing height before width.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed keyboard next word suggestions not reloading correctly. (Keyboard should hopefully start learning better now!)
- Fixed an issue when closing a window after changing presets that would freeze the program entirely.
- Fixed an input issue that would cause buttons to release when changing between pointing at windows and nothing.

13-04-2020

Added:
- Added basic window cropping support. (Super basic but works!)
- Added Workshop support. (For backgrounds/wallpapers, keyboards, and soon web apps)
(Access Workshop subscriptions through 'Global Settings' then 'Workshop Subscriptions')

Changes:

- Fixed an issue that could cause OVR Toolkit to error out when a process returns an invalid file path.
- Fixed touchpad window moving not working with window smoothing disabled in the config.json file.
- Fixed custom app overlay titles set by 'SetBrowserTitle' not showing in the Window List.
- Fixed CPU usage display. (Using a new method of gathering CPU usage, thanks CircuitLord!)

- Fixed various errors related to some processes returning invalid file paths.

Hi all!

A recent windows update 'KB4541335' has introduced a bug with the window capture API OVR Toolkit uses, in the worse cases, this can cause severe flickering of the window and increased CPU load.

To resolve this issue until Microsoft push a fix for it, please consider removing this update, find the screen below and uninstall the highlighted option:


Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this!
I'm already trying to pester Microsoft to fix it. ːsteamfacepalmː

Added:
- Added application icon to settings application. (Finally)
- Updated Unity version to prevent a Unity bug related crash.

Changes:
- Currently active window will now stay visible and switch off eco mode whilst typing.
- Increase speed of tapping key when holding down a keyboard key.
- Increased hold time required before a key will be tapped to avoid double key presses.
- Made keyboard key hold time required for tapping independent to framerate.
- Updated application icons to 48x48. (May need to clear the contents of 'IconCache' and 'WindowIconCache' folders to get these!)
- Improved loading performance of the 'Select Window' screen.
- Improved 'time to ready' when opening OVR Toolkit. (Time till Edit Mode can be toggled)
- Renamed 'Hotkeys' to 'Shortcuts' as that makes a lot more sense.
- Made it harder to accidentally dock window. (Center of window must be close to dock point now to work!)

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that would allow showing windows with the SteamVR Dashboard open.
- Fixed Simulator Mode keybind changes not saving.
- Fixed last moved window not becoming the currently editing window.
- Fixed an issue that would cause 'fallback desktops' or out of focus windows to take a long time to load on opening Edit Mode.
