ToggleBD 1.09 released

Version v1.09 of ToggleBD is now available for download.

ToggleBD is a small module task that makes it easy to get at objects pinned to the backdrop by allowing you to raise and lower the backdrop window. To raise/lower the backdrop you can use its iconbar-icon and/or a configurable hotkey combination.

Changes in this version are:

• The screen redraw that follows F12,Return will redraw the backdrop first so it appears to have been moved back down but it’s actually still on the foreground window stack.
   
  Clicking on a window’s back icon would now result in it being moved behind the backdrop, effectively hiding the window. Fixed by making sure the backdrop is moved down properly when there’s a mode change.
   
• Verify that StrongHelp$Dir exists by reading its value rather than by trying to canonicalise it as that won’t error if it doesn’t exist.
   
• Added a text manual that gets opened when StrongHelp is not present or hasn’t been seen by the Filer.
   
• Improvements to various parts such as the service call handler and the Wimp task close down code.
   
• Updated ResFind to the latest release version (4.00).

ToggleBD can be freely distributed under the 3-clause BSD licence, and comes with the source included. As always all feedback is welcome.
