New website

Information and documentation for OpenKneeboard is now on https://openkneeboard.com; documentation has been reorganized and expanded, including:

New features

Added bookmarks feature; to use, use a 'toggle bookmark' binding, then select the bookmark fro the left hand side. Bookmarks are visible in all tabs, and take you back to the specific page. For v1.4, bookmarks last until OpenKneeboard is restarted.
- added remote controls and bindings for next/previous/toggle bookmarks
Added tint and brightness control
- tint and brightness can be controlled in advanced settings
- added toggle on/off and increase/decrease brightness bindings and remote controls
- added disable and enable tint remote controls
Multithreaded versions of DCS are now detected on fresh installs, or when restoring default games
Added support for starting minimized; see FAQ for details
OpenKneeboard-Viewer now supports borderless mode by pressing 'b'
Added support for binding mice scroll wheels (vertical only)
Basic remote controls now optionally take a parameter for number of repetitions - for example, ...NEXT_PAGE.exe 5 will move forward 5 pages
Added options to remove the header (toolbar) and footer (clock) under advanced settings
Experimental: added support for Vulkan OpenXR games
Experimental: added a Lua API; this allows you to, for example:
- switch profiles depending on aircraft, terrain, or time of day
- control brightness with in-cockpit controls
Experimental: added an equivalent C API, which is also usable from Python

"Autodetect" will no longer render a non-VR kneeboard in the game window when OpenKneeboard's OpenXR support is active in the game
Navigation will now be auto-generated for PDFs that do not include an index, with one navigation entry per page
Fix a long-standing crash when rapidly changing tabs by switching to a higher-latency approach to mouse input; the crash in the low-latency path can only be fixed by Microsoft
Fix DirectInput support after Windows reports a device was plugged/unplugged; this can happen when nothing's actually been connected or disconnected, and could lead to bindings not working until OpenKneeboard was restarted - commit
Internal threading model changes to systematically avoid some causes of crashes
Fix several rare crashes when switching profiles
On multi-GPU systems, OpenKneeboard will now use the 'high performance' GPU to communicate with SteamVR
Image and PDF files are now monitored for changes, even if they are not inside a folder tab
Tablet drawings/notes are now correctly handled when files are deleted, created, or modified

"Add Game", "Add Tab", and "Add Profile" buttons now appear at both the top and bottom of the relevant pages
It is now possible to rename tabs (or bookmarks) by right clicking on them

Don't reload folder tabs (or tabs that include folders, like DCS Terrain tabs) when windows says the folder has changed, unless files that OpenKneeboard supports have actually been changed
Improved RAM and GPU memory usage when many files are open
Added a registry setting to write logs to Saved Games\OpenKneeboard\logs
Improved overall performance and reliability
Added an option in advanced setting to show OpenKneeboard's frame count in game; this is how many times OpenKneeboard's updated, not the number of game frames
Added tracing (opt-in via Windows Performance Recorder) leading to the previous two improvements :)
Debugging and tracing scripts and tools are now installed to C:\Program Files\OpenKneeboard\scripts, instead of needing a separate download

Line up clocks correctly when bookmarks bar is visible
Fix hang if Windows reports a device is plugged/unplugged while the input settings page is open
Fix old versions of kneeboards being displayed if the API is changed while the game is running; for example, changing from non-VR D3D11 to Oculus D3D11 would leave an old copy of the kneeboard visible in non-VR
Multithreaded versions of DCS are now detected on fresh installs, or when restoring default games
