Repository navigation
PowerShellManager 0.5.0 keeps every window in its place and can file new ones for you.
- Sticky slots: Apply keeps each window in the slot it already has, so focus changes and activity ranking no longer reshuffle the grid. Only the drag handles reorder placed windows, and a window you moved by hand returns home on Apply.
- Auto-arrange new windows (off by default): a new terminal moves into the first free slot about a second after it opens. Nothing else moves, and turning it on moves nothing.
- Slide to fill gaps and Overflow to other display (both off by default) decide what happens when a window closes or every slot is full.
- A custom title bar in the style of Trontop: the brand header is the caption, with its own minimize, maximize and hide-to-tray buttons. Drag to move, double-click to maximize, resize from any edge.
- Every button shares one size and padding, narrow windows get a tidier header, and the window count no longer splits across lines.
Download the ZIP, extract it and run powershellmanager.exe. Quit an older PSM from its tray menu first. --preview is read-only and deliberately disables Apply.
The build is unsigned. This is a development release tested on Windows 11 x64. Auto mode moves real windows; applications that keep resizing themselves are placed after a short settle limit. Without the OS caption, the Windows 11 snap flyout on maximize hover is unavailable; drag-to-edge snapping still works. Mixed-DPI and broader hardware acceptance remain open.
Validation: 187 ordinary tests and GitHub CI pass. The strict gate ran 198 instrumented tests, including 10 native audits on a private Win32 desktop and the GPU offscreen review, with 100% line, function, region and branch coverage. Clippy with warnings denied, formatting and an optimized release build passed. See RELEASE_AUDIT.md in the ZIP for scope and limits.
