v1.4.0 — Create snapshot now
A restore point on demand, one click from the top of the window.
Download pitr-config.cmd below — that single file is still the whole tool. No installation,
no dependencies. Double-click it; it requests administrator rights itself.
Create snapshot now. The tool could already force a restore point, but only through
Apply and run now at the bottom of the window, which saves the settings along with it.
Creating a snapshot on demand is the more common reason to open the tool at all, so it now has
its own highlighted button at the top — and one that writes nothing but the point itself. No
setting is changed, no value written. One click before a driver installation, a registry edit,
or the first run of unfamiliar software.
This works even while the machine is in use, which a manual start of the scheduled task does
not: PITRTask runs with RunOnlyIfIdle = True and simply stays Queued. The button lifts
that condition for exactly one run and restores it afterwards, including when an error occurs
in between.
Apply and run now is unchanged and still has its place — it is the right button when a newly
chosen frequency should take effect at once rather than at the next scheduled run.
The guide covers the new button in all five languages, with its own section and a row in the
button table. Also fixed: the German interface used a mixed pair of quotation marks in the
unofficial-approach notice.
