its time to upgrade the deskman script, but i didnt find the time for it yet. perhaps after my current project

Plans for next version of deskman.

simplify , simplify, simplify

i heard many complains its to big and people dont understand whats going on ...

i learned a lot ahk in meantime so i will optimize it.
the windowmoving part is now sufficiently in my other script gesture_winmove.ahk so i can remove this part completely from deskman.

also the screenshotpart can now be done with ahk only gdi-calls like shown in magnifier , gdi-screenshot or livewindows. (this way i even can integrate livewindows if i like) also the speed would be better with strechblit and not saving temporary files with irfan-view. (although i dont notice any performance hit in the moment)

the configuration part could be better with the help of the config-gui in this forum.

the script also could be made more flexible to simulate the vista-tabswitch in horizontal instead of vertical way (even zooming the window in center / fisheye) or have the thumbnail-preview only on hover over the taskbar.

i guess more people would try it if its more flexible as everybody uses windows in a different way.

if you have ideas for optimization drop a line in this thread and i might integrate it in the next version. every feedback is very helpful.
