Hi WinFlip devs  Smiley
First, wonderful program. I can't wait to see where this goes.

One question though, is winflip portable? Also, is Magic Formation portable as well? I can't seem to find that info about either of the two apps.

Now for my feature request Wink

I have been using Winflip on my home machine for the last few days and really like it's performance. My main PC has a widescreen dual monitor setup and uses Topdesk for Window 'flipping.' I would like to try out WinFlip on my dual monitor setup but I have noticed that WinFlip behaves in a similar manner as TopDesk with regards to the following:

If you activate Topdesk (winflip behaves similar on a single monitor,) all the windows sort into formation on 1 of the monitors then you are required to move the mouse over to the monitor with the desired window to select it. Once the desktop returns to normal you need to move the mouse back to the desktop with the window. This can be rather cumbersome when you have 1900 x 2 pixels to traverse twice every time you wish to switch windows. This is not taking into consideration the keyboard method ofcourse Wink 

Could you please provide an option, perhaps called: "Mouse click anywhere selects forefront window"

This option, when checked, would allow the user to click anywhere on the screen (during 'flip' mode) and the forefront window in the list will return desktop front.

Currently, if you click on the desktop (and not any of the windows,) WinFlip does nothing.

Please consider this option for the next release, if possible, as it would just make my day ^^

Hi firecracker6

That's good suggestion(Mouse click anywhere selects forefront window). Not difficult to make.
May be I'll put the function into the version 0.50(or later)

This is great news! I look forward to it's release Smiley

And I'm glad to hear that they are both portable. One clarification though, both WinFlip and Magic Formation do not modify the registry nor leave any files outside of their directories? So running them off a USB drive will not leave a trace on the host PC? Thanks for the clarification Smiley

Oh, I should have asked this early on but WinFlip is multi-monitor capable yes?

Thanks in advance for your response

koji just saidhe's going to make it work with multi monitors in next releases Wink

WinFlip does leave some traces in the registry, such as the regular ones for running programs, and of course one for the 'last used DX app'. Though, it does not need it, and does not place any files in directories on the computer.
