Very nice  :Thmbsup: and (maybe apart from separate user profiles), im guessing, pretty simple change!

To me, the ability to set "current" is a very welcome addition and to many i think that the ability to omit the Grid section altogether also is welcome. I right now prefer the "miniview" type of triggers, but it is still nice to be able to build the trigger grid first and simply wait with the main grid for later.

Thanks!

For #1:

Say you have the active window @ (t,l,b,r) = (50,100,150,200)
You drag it to the "extend left" cell which has the code
GridTop, GridBottom and GridRight are all not there (or maybe "GridTop = " or "GridTop = current" or sth (same for the other two))

The behaviour I am looking for is "when value is not set, use current".

When the code above is carried out the new coords would be (t,l,b,r) = (50,0,150,200) - it will have extended left

Hi

I have just started using gridmove on windows 7, I actually started using it so I could keep the right side of my 2nd monitor free for my gadgets ala vista sidebar style, which it works well for.  On using it more I actually much prefer it to the built in windows 7 aero snap, namely because it has proper multimonitor support and I can arrange windows side by side on a single monitor without using the keyboard.

The only thing missing from this program IMO is the undocking functionality windows 7 has in its own aero snap. Namely if I dock a window to the side with aero snap as soon as I undock it returns to its former size. With gridmove it stays the same size so I have to manually resize.

Is there any chance this functionality could be added? It would make this a really perfect little app if it could be done

Here's Hoping  :)

Hi andonevris!

Yes, I can relate to your problem, I think aero snap is really neatly implemented, but it's part of the Operating System. It'd be much more difficult for GridMove to do the same, and I currently really have no way of implementing it in a reasonable time.

I'm not sure how much of GridMove you can use, but if you can edit the grid, you can edit a "Restore" grid element with the size of the whole screen. It doesn't get you the same behavior as aero snap, but it can be seen as a workaround, I think.

Hi all!

I just found and downloaded this fantastic program today and of course went right to the contructing new grids part. I must say I dont really agree that the feature requested by andonevris would be a good thing... Since the possibilities are so much greater with the GridMove than with Windows 7 snap, I think the most common thing one wants to do is move the window, but retain the fixed size. To me it is good as it is!

However, I do have one (a little bit) related idea/request and one not at all related :)

#1: The concept of "smart fields" is fantastic I think, especially the possibility to maximize height and width separately. However, since you set the other values to WindowWidth and WindowHeight respectively I think you get some drawbacks... While the keyboard command works as "expected" the mouse action moves the window depending on the cursor position. I would very much like to be able to set GridTop = OldGridTop and GridBottom = OldGridBottom instead. Or maybe the possibility to omit the values or just leave them blank for "no change"? Just a thought! (and a more advanced one - when the value is omitted the underlying trigger sets that value.. I realize that's not at all easy, but it would make it very easy to specify advanced grid using columns and rows separately ;)  )

#2: Variables. Some kind of varible handling would be just wonderful! (that would actually solve #1 as well since you could specify one with the old value). The reason I would like this is when you make advanced grids with padding between the cells it gets very cumbersome to write everything all the time. Something like:
for example would be very, very nice.

And even if nothing of that ever happens it is still a GREAT program!

Good work!
