APE Viewer 0.6.1

Update APE Viewer on both PCs: the one you connect from and the one you connect to.

The APE button is back

  • When the stream toolbar hides, it shrinks to the APE button again instead of disappearing. Click the button to open the toolbar. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M still works too.
  • Drag the APE button anywhere in the window. The toolbar opens at the top, on that side.
  • To keep the whole toolbar showing, turn off Shrink to the APE button when the mouse leaves in Settings > Stream toolbar.

Profile pictures

  • Add one on the Account page (Add picture…). Your friends see it instead of your initials, and only they can.

Hosting is easier to set up

  • Share only some programs: choose Only some apps… under What they see for a person, or click Share only some apps… on the People & permissions tab.
  • File transfer sits right next to What they see, and you can turn it on or off for someone while they're connected.
  • View only and Full control change what someone can do, never what they see.
  • Custom now opens every permission for that person.
  • Your devices are listed on their own. The PC you're using isn't listed anymore, because it doesn't connect to itself.
  • Friends: set what a friend can do on the Friends page, before they ever connect.
  • Turning Sound or Clipboard on for someone who's connected now works right away, without reconnecting.
  • With nobody connected, Connected now is one short line again, so the rest of the page stays in view.

Your PCs

  • Hide from the list: PCs you can't reach move to a Hidden group at the bottom, which you can open any time.
  • Quick connect's Enter opens only an exact match. F5 looks for PCs again, and Enter connects to the PC you've picked.

Settings

  • Open APE Viewer when you sign in to Windows: the app starts in the tray. (Hosting's own Start with Windows is separate and unchanged.)
  • The update button is also at the bottom of Settings, next to Donate. When there's an update, it shows at the bottom of the sidebar too.

Fixes

  • Someone you disconnect loses control of the PC right away.
  • People limited to some screens can't end up seeing a different screen after Windows renumbers your displays.
  • A device removed from your account loses owner rights at once, even if it's also paired.
  • For people who see only some apps, Ctrl+Esc, Ctrl+Shift+Esc and Alt+Tab no longer reach the rest of the PC.
  • Sending an empty folder no longer blocks every transfer after it, and files arriving no longer make keys stick on the other PC.
  • Controllers only drive the other PC while a stream window is in front.
  • Turning the clipboard off stays off after an automatic reconnect.
  • Choosing Turn Hosting off from the tray during a stream works again, and Alt+number no longer plays the error sound.
  • Your PCs settings are saved as you change them.
  • Windows shows the right version number in APEViewer.exe's file properties.
