IDEA: drag window to edge automatically resizes it

Hi there,

great tool! :)

It would be great if you could increase the thickness of the rule lines. There pretty hard to see on higher resolutions. Additionally you maybe could 'soften' the screen behind the grid or bright it up a little.

Is it possible to improve the reaction time for GridMove? When I middle-click on the titlebar of a window it lasts about 0.5 s until the grid shows up...

Keep on the great work!

Using GridMove 1.19.62, Win7-Ult, native snap disabled

First, thanks I have used this for years and loved it.

Now for the question.
With Office 2010 (specifically Word 2010), when you cut and paste text into a document Word pops up this "right-click"-like menu to choose: Keep Source Formatting, Merge Formatting, Paste as Plain Text.

The problem comes in when you paste something in Word, causing the paste-menu, and then use HotKeys in GridMove to resize Word. 
Unfortunately, that paste-menu isn't a "menu" but a window, that now resizes to the Grid you wanted Word to resize to.  Word stays at its un-resized size and place.
.
The workaround is to hit ESC before using the GridMove hotkey (ESC closes the paste-"menu").  But, you know that isn't ideal.
I should add, I never use GridMove via the mouse.  I assume the act of selecting Word's titlebar would deselect the paste-"menu" and everything would then work as expected.
.
Any thoughts or fixes for this?
Thanks

Hi!

GridMove always works on the window which is topmost, as long as it can be resized.
This may cause multiple problems similar to yours, where a window opens a child window and you wanted to move the parent window. However, other times you may want the child window to be moved.
The problem you mentioned would imply me writing an explicit exception in the code for every window that someone required. Also note that some people may actually want to move the child window :(

I think there is no better solution than what you mentioned. Maybe you could alt-tab (to change focus) before using GridMove?

hello jgpaiva,

First, thanks for a great software. Been using it for a long time and it made my life much easier.

I have one problem tho. When using Autodesk Softimage i can only make GridMove ignore the window for that particular session. Program is run by a bat script and opened always in a window with different signature so you end up with a list of exceptions in GridMove.exe.ini like:

Afx:0000000004000000:8:0000000000010005:0000000000000000:00000000255406AG
Afx:0000000004000000:8:0000000000010005:0000000000000000:0000000000D3154Y
Afx:0000000004000000:8:0000000000010005:0000000000000000:0000000011740GDT
etc.

Is there a way to tell GridMove to ignore all the windows that start with certain set of symbols?

Thanks

Hi.

I loved this app. Thank you.

Well, can I change the colors and transparency?

Thanks in advance.
