First release.
Added
- Recording of mouse movement, all three buttons, the wheel and the keyboard, read straight from
/dev/input. - Playback through a virtual input device, so applications see a macro as real input.
- Reading and writing of
.recfiles in TinyTask's Windows format. - Global hotkeys for record and play, with the play combination doubling as an emergency stop.
- A settings dialog that rebinds those hotkeys by pressing the combination you want.
- Repetition once, a set number of times, or continuously until you stop it.
- Recording of the pauses, so a macro replays at the speed it was made.
- Compensation for pointer acceleration, read from the KDE mouse settings, with a manual override.
- A warning at startup when a mouse is on the adaptive acceleration profile, which no fixed factor can undo.
- A system tray icon that turns red while recording and green while playing.
- A status overlay carrying the elapsed time, the click count, the repetitions left and the stop shortcut.
- Placement of that overlay at any edge or corner of the screen, or off entirely.
- A choice between closing the window to the tray and closing it to quit.
- The command line:
--record,--play,--loops,--from-screen,--inspectand--list-devices. - Clean handling of
Ctrl+C,SIGTERMandSIGHUP, saving or stopping instead of dying with keys held. - An application icon, a desktop entry and an
install.shthat puts TinyTask in the application menu.
Fixes
- Held keys surviving a crash, a signal or a closed window; every exit path now releases them.
- The emergency stop going deaf while a dialog was open.
- The hotkey echo removal eating parts of the macro next to the combination.
- Keyboard-only macros throwing the pointer into the corner when they were replayed.
- A macro recorded on one resolution missing the far corner when replayed on another.
- Playback timing drifting when the event clock wrapped or an event arrived out of order.
- Idle time being dropped, so a macro that waits now waits on playback too.
- A keyboard or mouse that sleeps and comes back going unnoticed, which silently disabled the hotkeys.
- A mouse button being accepted as a hotkey key, which made the hotkey unpressable.
- The settings dialog running off the bottom of a 1080-tall screen.
- The overlay caption spilling past the edge of the strip.
- Every opened macro being rescaled as though it had been recorded on a 1920x1080 screen, which moved the coordinates of files this application had recorded itself.
Improved
- The toolbar carries drawn icons and text labels in place of the first plain buttons.
- Settings text says what each option does rather than how it is stored.
- The interface has a scheme and a palette of its own instead of the toolkit default.
- The status overlay is a compact block of labelled rows with the stop shortcut in bold.
- The file inspector reports which header length it detected and why.
- The README is down to what a user actually needs to get running.
- The licence is PolyForm Internal Use 1.0.0 with written additional permissions, in place of a bespoke text.
