Releases: hollovar/KB525CControl
Release list
v0.6.1
Fixed
- Launched programs come to the front. A program started from a button (
Run,
RunInActiveFolder,FocusOrLaunch) opened behind the current window or only flashed on the
taskbar, because Windows does not let a background process hand over the foreground. The app
now waits for the new window (up to 6 s) and brings it to the front itself; when no new window
appears (single-instance program, terminal tab in an existing window) it falls back to the
program's process name. See Known limitations and workarounds indocs/configuration.md. - Settings: the mouse wheel no longer changes values by accident. Wheeling over (or with the
focus on) a drop-down or a numeric field scrolls the page instead of silently changing the
setting. An open drop-down list still scrolls with the wheel.
Self-contained Windows x64 build — no .NET installation needed. The zip contains
KB525CControl.exe (tray app), kb525c.exe (command-line client), install.ps1 and
uninstall.ps1.
Install
- Unzip anywhere, open PowerShell in that folder.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1
— copies the executables to%LOCALAPPDATA%\KB525CControl, adds that folder to
your userPATH, registers autostart, disables theDPMServiceservice (UAC
prompt) and starts the app. Switches:-NoAutostart,-KeepDellService.- Look for the tray icon; right/left click → Settings….
DPMService (Dell Peripheral Manager) holds the keyboard's command channel
exclusively, so the app cannot work while it runs. You lose only the factory Zoom
integration of the four buttons and DPM firmware updates; ordinary keys are unaffected.
Undo: .\uninstall.ps1 -RestoreDellService.
Upgrade
Run install.ps1 from the new zip; it stops the running instance and replaces the files.
Your config.json is kept.
