Agents' apps no longer get knocked over by OuterSpace guarding your focus.

Install or update: run OuterSpace-setup.exe. It installs for your user only, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\OuterSpace, without administrator rights, and updates an existing install in place. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn — choose More info → Run anyway.

Fixed

  • Apps crashing on the virtual display (Blender with Vulkan). When an agent's window took the foreground and Windows refused to hand it back to you, OuterSpace minimized and restored that window as a fallback, and kept doing it ten times a second for as long as the window stayed in front. An app still starting up, like Blender setting up Vulkan, could crash. Now OuterSpace tries once per focus steal, and never minimizes a window in its first 5 seconds.
  • Clicking an agent's window in the taskbar works. Switching to it from the taskbar, Alt+Tab or Start is your choice, and the window now stays in front instead of being fought over.
  • OuterSpace no longer mistakes the taskbar or other parts of the shell for the window you were using.
