    Finally got around to tinkering with this. The .ini file itself is fine, but it did show me that if the prefs are set to load the last profile used, and something goes wrong with that step (like, say, the profile file simply not being there), bindcontrol will crash. So it's possible your profile was missing or corrupt, then when you removed the ini file, bindcontrol no longer had the path to that missing/corrupt profile, and started up just fine. That's all I can come up with so far. I'm fixing that issue so bindcontrol will recover gracefully to a blank profile if something goes wrong. Thanks!

    One other thing worth trying - I suppose it's possible either the preferences file or your current profile has become corrupt in some way the program doesn't like. I -believe- it should recover gracefully from that situation, but you might try setting those files aside to see if it suddenly decides to launch. The preferences are in %APPDATA%\bindcontrol.ini and the profiles are, by default, stored at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\bindcontrol\ If you discover this is the case, please send me the file that causes it to misbehave. Thanks!

    OK, that's strange but let's dig in and see what we know. Sorry I'm being a little slow right now, real life is intruding a bit. I'm going to try to roll up a version that will dump error output to file and see if that helps. If you're comfortable trying it, you could use the "install python and wx, clone the repo, and run it from the command line" scheme to launch the app, and it should let you know right there what's happening, but no worries if you don't want to go down that rabbit hole. I'll let you know if and when I get a test version rolled up; please let me know if you do try the more complicated approach.

    Nono, no worries, wanting to hear peoples' luck with this. I'd been working with another person offline who'd had some trouble like this, but I'd thought 0.13.6 fixed up that whole class of problem. Clearly I was wrong. First thing I'd ask is whether you are installing BindControl on top of itself, ie, unzipping the different versions into the same folder? I'd like to say that shouldn't be a problem, but I don't think we're actually there yet. Be sure you delete the BindControl folder between installs. It doesn't keep any state in that folder by default, so unless you've explicitly saved profiles or binds in there, it should be safe to do. Let me know if that helps, and if not, I'll move to roll up a version that does some spammy logging to a file so we can see what might be happening. I'm also going to look into whether I can roll a proper installer that will do that for you instead of making people delete and unzip over and over. Thanks for the report.

    Released v0.13.4 which is just a repackaged 0.13.3, once again using pyinstaller as the packaging mechanism. Apart from the packaging and associated scripts, it's identical to 0.13.3, so don't worry about upgrading if that one is working for you. https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.13.4

    Released 0.13.3 which, at least on my rig, fixes the key combo problem. Please let me know. https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.13.3

    Aah yeah something broke during the merge of the controller support. I will get on it. Looking forward to being able to test changes better, but that's going to be several weeks still.

    I've just released 0.13.2, which contains a few under-the-hood changes here and there, but most importantly is packaged with a different scheme that shouldn't cause these malware/virus false positives. BindControl lives in a folder in a ZIP file now, which will be the way of things moving forward. Please let me know your luck. Though I've done some basic smoke testing, it's not impossible that it simply doesn't work outside my environment, in which case please fall back to the nearly-identical 0.13.1 and open a github issue for me. Thanks, all. https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.13.2

    Oh ugh. This is an occasional problem with Windows Defender and Pyinstaller, the "make a windows executable" system I'm using. I'm going to investigate alternatives to that because that's just embarrassing. Meanwhile, I've scanned the 0.13.1 exe, as downloaded from Github, with Windows Defender using today's virus/malware definitions (1/17/2024 11:01am), and it came up clean, so it's possible the pyinstaller people have their latest version of stuff correctly identified in the latest MS definitions? I'll keep an eye out for this more, going forward, and look for alternatives to pyinstaller. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Quick bugfix to non-speed-on-demand "back" key: https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.13.1

    I've gone ahead and folded the controller changes into the main branch, and released an official 0.13. Not completely sure that the controller changes are working as desired yet, but I'm needing to get more eyeballs on it to be sure, so I'm glad to hear you're interested. Thanks! https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.13

    Bugfixes galore: https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.12

    What does it do instead? Do you have the typing notifier or custom colors or both enabled? Does it put anything at all in the chat window? What does the bind in reset.txt say? These three are fixed in git and will be in the next release. This also surfaced a bug where often it wasn't possible to do multiple mod keys in a bind, ie, "SHIFT+CTRL+S" or the like. That also is fixed. I'll roll up a new release in the next day or two.

    These two things might be related. I am on it. Ah that's a good one, I already understand what's going on there, but getting it to act the right way may take a little tinkering. There's a whole balance between remembering hidden controls so they don't lose state, and accidentally writing them to the binds files. Oh this is a regression -- when the button labels get too long for the buttons, ie "SHIFT-PRINTSCREEN" or something, I have it change SHIFT to S, CTRL to C, and ALT to A, and use smaller text. So where the display says "S+SPACE" it actually means "SHIFT+SPACE". -EXCEPT- that it's supposed to store the actual state and write that to the bind files and to the Profile, and instead it's storing/writing the display string. I will re-fix this. I'll also maybe change it to be "Sh+SPACE" in the display so it's a little less confusing. Thanks for testing. Oh also: I'm going to keep looking at whether there's a way to make this work more smoothly because yeah that's a little irritating.

    I've just released version 0.11, rolling this movement power updates into an official release to get more eyeballs and testing. Please check it out and let me now your luck. https://github.com/emersonrp/bindcontrol/releases/tag/v0.11
