Oriel app icon

Version History

Oriel

1.5.0

Added

  • Oriel is available in Korean. The menu, Settings, and welcome window follow the macOS language.

Changed

  • Settings uses the system's grouped style, with section headers and rounded boxes like Xcode's settings.

Fixed

  • Shortcuts recorded while a Korean input source was on showed a Korean letter instead of the key.
  • Shortcuts using F1 through F20 showed a blank key.
  • Closing Settings or switching apps while recording a shortcut left every shortcut off until Settings was opened again.
1.4.4

Changed

  • Opening Oriel again while it's running, from Spotlight or the Applications folder, brings up Settings.

Fixed

  • With the menu bar icon hidden, opening Oriel when it wasn't running showed no window.
1.4.3
  • The Settings window could no longer be dragged after a switch in it was flipped.
1.4.2
  • The app icon's background looked flat in the Dock and Finder. It now shows its gradient.
1.4.1
  • Closing Settings or the welcome window now returns you to the app you were using, so other apps' shortcuts keep working right away.
1.4.0
  • With more than one display, the half shortcuts continue onto the next display, so pressing Right Half on a window already in the right half moves it to the left half of the display to its right, and Left Half works the same way toward the left.
1.3.2
  • Fixed steady processor use that began once Settings had been opened and went on after the window was closed.
1.3.1
  • Spotlight now finds the app by its Korean name and by what it does: 오리엘, 오리얼, 창 관리, and window manager all match.
1.3.0
  • Moving a snapped window (left/right half or maximized) to another display now re-creates the same snap on the target display, instead of carrying the source display's absolute size over. Detection is geometric, so it applies to any window sitting in a snap position, whoever put it there.
1.2.1
  • Fixed: installing by COPYING the app (instead of Finder-moving it) left it running from Gatekeeper's translocated read-only path, which blocked Sparkle updates. The app now detects this at launch, clears the quarantine flag, and relaunches itself from its real location.
1.2.0

Added

  • A Center action (⌃⌥C by default) that centers the focused window on its display, customizable like every other shortcut.
  • First-run onboarding that explains the app and hosts the Accessibility permission ask. The launch-time system prompt is gone.

Changed

  • The status menu shows the app version at the top.
1.1.0

Fixed

  • Windows that refuse horizontal resizing (fixed-width windows) now snap flush to the display's right edge instead of stopping at mid-screen, and without flickering through an intermediate position.
  • Restore now returns to the window's position from before the whole chain of snap/maximize actions, not just the most recent one, including for windows that clamp their size.

Changed

  • Moving a window to another display starts a new restore chain: pressing Restore afterwards returns the window to where it landed on that display instead of yanking it back across displays.
1.0.0
  • Initial release: snap windows to left/right halves, toggle maximize, move windows across displays keeping their relative position, restore, and configurable global shortcuts.
  • Menu bar app with a hideable icon, launch at login, and Sparkle auto-updates.
