- A Quick Glance Behind - 25 June 2019
With this update, Quixer has reached a certain maturity. Features have been added. Bugs have been squashed. And the overall experience has been improved! If you've been missing out on it since launch, here's a little recap. At launch we only had the Volume Manager feature. However it was slightly impractical due to the way assigning hotkeys worked. This was changed only a few days later to become much more than that. Not only were you now able to assign hotkeys by pressing any key from your keyboard, but it also came with a complete new module which allows you to set hotkeys for specific apps. Great! Needless to say that with big changes come small bugs. So back to squashing I went. After some time, some bugs fixed and some feedback coming in, I decided to improve Quixer by adding a feature that I was already using in a separate app of mine, which is today known as the Audio Devices fea…
- Update 1.3.5 - 16 June 2019
Long time no see! I had been doing some silent hotfixes here and there since last official update 1.3.4. They were really too minor to be worth posting about. But not this time! There has been an annoying bug for a while that I just couldn't track down. Some users finally messaged me about it and I decided it was time to really put some thought into it. And so I did for a second... One thing I could do was to try and hunt it down. Which would likely be tedious as it was a really weird one. The other thing I could do was simply erase the whole module where the bug was obviously residing and do it over from scratch. I opted for the latter. Doing so didn't take as nearly as much time as you'd think. I had a good idea of what I was doing. The new version was tested for a few days and the bug seems to have disappeared. And today it's finally yours. Enjoy! Bug fixes : Pressing Ctrl without it…
- Update 1.3.4 - 17 February 2019
Always more bugs There was yet another bug stopping users with a certain configuration from using Quixer. I apologize again to you if that was your case! That has now been fixed! I bring a gift as an apology! The Playback Devices feature was changed to Audio Devices because it now includes Recording devices! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2Fa4440219c744574d9102dbe7671624dd2cf28756.png As you can see, there are now two colors of devices. Purple representing playback devices, and blue representing recording devices. It works exactly the same way. There will now be a tray icon for each type of device. If you're not using the feature for either playback or recording devices, you can disable their tray icon respectively in the Settings. Have fun!
- Update 1.3.3 - 9 February 2019
IT'S FIXED! SORRY! I apologize to the few who bought the application between yesterday and today. I had introduced a major bug in update 1.3.2 without realizing. That has now been fixed and everything should start up normally. ːsteamfacepalmː Edit : If you are still getting an error when you launch, it might be that your config file is corrupted beyond repair. You will have to go here : C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Senerio\Quixer and delete config.json. It should be fine after that. If not, make sure you get in touch with me.
- Update 1.3.2 - 8 February 2019
We have yet another quality of life improvement! You can now decide what goes into the Toggle Device feature sequence. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2Ff0662412b8347df83c4b2b80f5f821c920bc10f0.png By default, any device you add will be inserted in the sequence. If you wish to take it out, simply uncheck the option circled in the image above. To make it clear, here's a small example situation in which you would need this option : We have 3 devices (A, B and C) we switch between. So we set all 3 devices in Quixer. Now only A and B are used on a daily basis. C is more situational and is not used enough to justify having to go over it every time we use the toggle device function. And so, by deactivating the option shown above for device C, when we're toggling between devices, only A and B are going to be in the rotation. C will remain available by…
- Update 1.3.1 - 2 February 2019
Just a quick hello to say it is now possible to distinguish between the same modifier keys. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2F38bb3431847883b7f308c05f50822dbe1e5fafc4.png The little white corner indicates there's a tip for that key. In this case, it will tell you that you can rotate between Ctrl, LCtrl and RCtrl by clicking on the key. This means that if you set your hotkey to LCtrl + A and press RCtrl + A, Quixer won't detect it as the correct hotkey. If you set it to Ctrl + A, there is no change from before, both LCtrl and RCtrl will work. Cheers!
- Update 1.3.0 - 30 January 2019
It's update time again! I've been working on a requested feature these past few days and I'm glad to announce it's now released! Here comes the Volume Preset feature! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2F211aa7884b14764b1f480dbb6086d15c245fd225.png I've had a few requests and I've done a bit of research on the topic. While it might not be as useful as the two other features for the majority of people, there was definetely a demand for it and I thought it would be a good asset to have in order to gain a wider appeal. What this feature essentially allows you to do is make different presets under different hotkeys. Each preset can be loaded with different applications and each application can have its own volume level. When a hotkey for a preset is used, Quixer will set the volume of each applications to the values you configured. If you have differen…
- Update 1.2.7 - 20 January 2019
It was cold today here in Canada so I decided to stay inside and work on Quixer....... As if I need an excuse to stay inside... AHEM! That said... I got some goodies for you tonight! Here comes the brand new device change pop-up! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2F0b387174dc4ed50a07e8362955c772d02265e22f.png Fear not! If you actually don't want to see it, I have added a new setting that allows you to hide not only the new device pop-up, but the volume slider as well! Still, I would appreciate if you didn't hide it because I worked meticulously on it hehe. In order to add that feature I reworked a notable part of my code once again. I tested the features a bunch and there didn't seem to be any issue. Keep an eye out and notify me ASAP if you spot anything! That was the main selling point for today but I also have a few other improvements I'd like…
- Update 1.2.6 - 18 January 2019
Good evening! A little bug fixing/improvement once again : - When changing the default playback device, Quixer should now be more efficient. - If you like having a default communication device, Quixer won't reset it anymore when you change devices if you go into Settings and check the "Communication Device" option. That is all!
- Update 1.2.5 - 11 January 2019
Hotfix : Using Quixer on some applications/games (namely Rainbow Six) was causing it to crash and just close without any notification or error message. This has been fixed!
- Update 1.2.4 - 8 January 2019
Hiya! This update is a good one! More apps should now be handled by Quixer (namely Firefox). This also comes with a bonus improvement on the volume slider fluidity in some instances. Reporting problems gives me the opportunity to review, fix and improve the app. Thank you for doing it! Have a good night!
- Update 1.2.3 - 5 January 2019
Hotfix for the bug caused by the length of the device name.
- Update 1.2.2 - 28 December 2018
Another day, another update. After reviewing the Playback Devices feature, I realized it would only work on English systems. That is now fixed! There was also an issue with using the Alt key as part of the hotkey. This one isn't fixed but a warning was added that using it might not work on your system. It works fine on mine so I figured I should leave it up to each of you! And that's that! Have a nice day with your 'now working' feature you non english folks!
- Update 1.2.1 - 27 December 2018
Just a quick patch to fix the bug that was happening when you added a device and you didn't have the feature enabled. Cheers!
- Update 1.2.0 - 25 December 2018
Merry Christmas! I hope you're all having a good time with the people close to you! With university done for a while, I had spare time on my hands and I didn't know what to make of it! And so I decided to finish the feature I had started back before finals started. I present to you the Quixer Playback Devices Quick Change Feature! (I didn't find a better name. Sorry!) https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2Fdae7480217e8a1fd36c3aeaa0fa9649588b28923.png Well, the name kind of says it all really. For those of you who have speakers, headphones or a headset that they often change between depending on the time of day or activity they're undertaking, myself first, this is a feature designed with you just in mind! This will allow you to setup your various devices in Quixer and change between them at the push or click of a few buttons without having to go deep…
- Update 1.1.4 - 24 November 2018
Sorry there was no patchnotes the last couple updates. They were only tiny hotfixes. Here's a little list of what has happened since 1.1.0. - Added two new settings to help you keep your profiles in sync - Performance improvements - Bug fixes (namely muting was behaving oddly) Also added a Discord Link in the About tab. If you have anything you'd like to ask you can come in any time. I sometime sleep but I'm very active otherwise! That's it for today!
- Update 1.1.0 - 21 November 2018
I was hard at work this past week between exams and Quixer. I got some juicy stuff for you! A few were asking for more and more keys to bind hotkeys on. With different keyboard layouts and exotics keys, I had to go with what made the most sense. And so! I got rid of the keyboard layout and redesigned the keybinding from scratch. You can now simply press the keys you want to assign as a hotkey and some mysterious magic will happen right before your eyes. Next we have profiles! This feature had me re-design the way configurations were handled so you will unfortunately have to rebind your hotkeys. (Sorry!) I will try to make this simple... You have the default profile which is Global Profile. This profile is the equivalent of how Quixer used to be. Meaning the focused window will be the one having its volume adjusted. You can add more profiles that will target exes of your choice. Upon ass…
- Update 1.0.1 - 10 November 2018
Hey there, just a small update with 2 things people asked for! - Added more keys to bind actions to! (Arrows & Numpad) - Added a setting that allows to display the numerical value of the volume with the slider. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33706882%2F1850e2cffe5e4c0e0d3333c3777f32a3c3733bbf.png I'm also looking into adding 2 bigger features. One of them being keybind per application. It's going to take a bit more time for those if I decide to add them in though. Enjoy!
