RSS Feed25 Years and a New Program - JMoveIt
This is the 25th year anniversary of the joejoesoft website. This small hobby freeware site has served millions of pages, millions of download, and used over 2500 GB of bandwidth in that time. I've probably received one thousand donations in that time and have over 4000 email threads from users.

I've also added a new official utility, JMoveit (Just-Move-it). It's a very specific tool to work around issues moving programs between monitors. The program's page describes the usage in detail. This utility has been in beta testing for many months and should be one of the most polished releases to date.
This setup program for this release was built with a new version of the setup compiler. So, the optional setup program is now larger but seems to operate identically. As always, you can copy the program's EXE to a folder to manually install the program.
ArsClip Official Release
Version 5.44 of ArsClip has been released. This update contains a few notable major changes and a lot of fixes.
First, the biggest change revolves around JavaScript. AC uses the already-installed JavaScript support in Windows. Technically, this is called JScript - a subset of JavaScript. In later versions of Windows, this uses the Chakra JScript engine. AC will now automatically detect newer installs and uses the highest JScript version possible (which can be overridden in the ac.ini file). So, AC's JavaScript support should include any features you'd expect to see in IE11.
JS Support in general has been updated. There's now an option to enabled the "STAYOPEN" feature for JavaScript clips in the "_Clip Menu" group. The "Edit Permanent Clip" window has been updated with more features to make working with JS clips easier - including some new JavaScript functions.
In Edit Clips/Macros, the lists have been reworked for better visuals. For the History tab, the icons and the highlighting have been updated. For the Permanent Clips/Macros tab, the list now use an icon to show the type of clip: JS, AC Macro, Plain text, Picture, HTML, RichText. The Global Hotkey is shown in the right-side of a list item to make it easier to identify and read. The "_Alter Clipboard" and "_Clip Menu" special groups now show checkboxes for enabled items on the list.
Finally, AC now uses a custom HTML control for displaying HTML Clips. This was first implemented for the Tooltip Hint to test stability and is now used in almost all parts of the program for displaying these clips. This feature has been updated to make dark text on a dark background readable. Also, the font is now scaled smaller for Tooltip Hints.
Rename Master Hotfix Release
I've released a hotfix (v4.03) to work around an issue with Dark Mode support. This only occurs when the Renaming Script is long enough to need scrolling. For now, the ScrollBar in this location will not be drawn correctly, but it also will not freeze the program.
Rename Master Official Release
Version 4.02 of Rename Master has been officially released. The main changes in this update are new File Details meta-data support and improved Dark Mode support.
The "Details" tab shown on the Properties window in Explorer is not included as meta-variables in RM. While RM's own internal file tags are faster to read, the File Details can be used to extract any data format that RM does not natively support. For example, RM does not support newer version of the newest MP3 ID3 tags. If Explorer can show them in the Details tab, then RM can extract them.
Dark Mode support has been significantly improved. The previous support was experimental an some text was hard to read. RM has updated icons and fixed issues with colors in this version. The Configuration settings for the Renaming Script and File List colors are shown as expected. Dark Mode can also be manually disabled by editing the rm.ini file. RM will, by default, use Dark Mode when this Windows setting is detected on.
ArsClip Official Release
Version 5.44 of ArsClip has been released. The major new features for this version are new/improved modes for the Popup. The majority of changes are minor tweaks and bug fixes.
The Pinned mode has been reworked an updated to completely replace the former Form Mode functionality. A Transparent toggle has been added to the Popup. Finally, a Paste Selected mode button has been added to completely replace the separate Paste Selected window. The old window can be shown using a Permanent Clip/Macro, but it is deprecated.
