v2.2.0-rc.3

🧪 NetSpeedTray 2.2.0-rc.3

A small one: what you found in rc.2. Thanks for testing!

Prereleases don't update in-app, and WinGet and the Store won't offer this one. Download Setup.exe or the portable zip below and install over rc.2, rc.1, any beta or 2.1.7. If you're on a 2.2 prerelease, the running app closes itself and comes back. Your history and settings carry over.

What's fixed since rc.2

• The widget steps aside for wide app buttons. With taskbar buttons set to never combine, the labeled buttons could slide under the widget and stay there. It now notices within about a second and comes back when there's room. Thanks @emgeka for the fix (#460) and @relu616 for the report.
• On a left-aligned taskbar the widget no longer sits on the weather button. It moves just left of it, and steps aside like on any full taskbar when your app buttons fill the bar. A widget you dragged stays where you put it. Centered and side taskbars aren't affected.
• --shutdown works on a busy PC. Under load it could time out before asking the running app to quit. The installer wasn't affected.
• An old history backup whose delete failed once (say, antivirus holding it) is now retried the next time instead of a whole retention period later.
• Dutch, Hungarian and German polish, thanks @boonstraworks, @cscsanaki and @emgeka. German now says "du" throughout.

What I'd love you to test

• A crowded taskbar with buttons set to never combine: open apps until they reach the widget. Does it step aside quickly and come back when you close them?
• A left-aligned taskbar with the weather showing: is there a gap between the weather and the widget? Fill the bar with apps - does the widget step aside cleanly and come back when you close them?

What's next

If this one's quiet for about a week, it ships as 2.2.0 through the in-app updater, WinGet and the Store.

Found something? Comment on #373 with a support bundle (Export support bundle at the bottom of Settings). Usernames, paths and IPs are stripped from it.
