The cache was introduced to improve performance by not querying the
OS for the window process path every time we need to check if the window
is interesting to FancyZones. Since then other changes were made to the
the way we check the windows. Right now, the IsInterestingWindow function is
called when:
1) WinKey + arrows are used
2) window is started to be dragged
3) window is created
1) and 2) are initiated by the user, happen only once per interaction so
their performance impact can be dismissed. The 3) happens all the time
but for the most part the check for WS_CHILD or
GetAncestor(window, GA_ROOT) == window will filter those out. In the
end, only top-level windows will be queried for their path.
Removing the cache improves code readability and will make code
maintenance easier.
Make the runner not run as elevated by default. Add a setting for
"run PowerToys as elevated" and buttons to restart the process
with the different elevation levels.
1) Adding example project to Debug / Release Builds.
2) Including <string> in common.h
3) Using std::optional instead of PowerToysValues::is_[type]_value
4) Fixing warnings generated by unreferenced 'ex' variable in exception handling.
5) Updated relative path of version.h in exeample_powertoy.rc
Unifies the way windows are considered "interesting" by FancyZone.
Berfore the change WinKey + arrows would use different method than
dragging. This PR makes both use the WinKey + arrows method.
Cleans up FancyZones Settings.cpp by removing m_configStrings variable.
Contrary to its name it was used to create color picker control.
Adds a multiline option to the text input to settings. Uses this to
provide the user with a way to exclude certain apps from snapping to
zones.
