IridiumIO/CompactGUI v3.0.3

Version 3.0.3

on GitHub

Note

Either of two things may happen in an upcoming release (I haven't decided yet)

• Upgrade to .NET 8 and continue to provide two separate binaries (one normal, and one monolithic)
• Continue on .NET 6 and stop providing the monolithic version.

I haven't decided whether to upgrade to .NET 8 for this project yet (I've done it for another project, PolyCut) but aside from AOT - which probably won't work- I'm not sure it would be of any real benefit for CompactGUI otherwise.

Bug Fixes

• UI Scaling
  • Partial fix for Window scaling breaking at random (still not sure what's causing it though) - when you restart the application, it will check if the window size is too small and reset it if that's the case #384 #374
• System Tray
  • Added an actual hover label to the system tray icon that shows how many folders are being monitored #390
  • A notification shows up when the program is minimised to tray
  • Fixed the program being minimised after trying to open it from the tray
  • Fixed CompactGUI showing up in the Alt-Tab view even when minimised to the system tray #389
• Explorer context menu
  • Fixed the annoying bug where you couldn't open CompactGUI by right clicking a folder and selecting compress this folder if it was already running.

Known issues for v3.0.x

• Watched folders will not play nice if you added a folder to the watchlist while in admin mode, and then went back to normal mode afterwards. It will still technically work, but the analysis will not be accurate (as it will skip over files it doesn't have permission to check)
• Clicking the Analyse button to check all the watched folders won't show any visual indication that it's doing anything until it is finished. It is actually working, but you just can't see anything. Feel free to spam click the button if it makes you feel better.
• The fading in/out bottom bar is a bit glitchy.

Important!

Because this application uses .NET 6, you have two choices of downloads:

• 
  • 2.77 MB: If you don't have the .NET 6 runtime installed when you try to run this, it will prompt you to download it from Microsoft
• 
  • 150 MB: Includes all libraries required to run it completely standalone, however it's nearly 50x the size. I do recommend installing the .NET 6 runtime instead (which is itself only a 50MB download).
