What is new in AnyDrag 26.10.117
<h3>What's New in 26.10.117</h3> <ul> <li><b>Show the app icon in the menu bar, the Dock, or both</b> — New in <b>Settings → General → Show App Icon In</b>: <b>Menu Bar</b> (the default, exactly as before), <b>Dock</b>, or <b>Menu Bar and Dock</b>. With the Dock icon on, clicking it — or opening AnyDrag a second time — brings up the Settings window, so hiding the menu bar icon can never lock you out of the app. Switching takes effect immediately, no relaunch needed. Thanks to @hexeric for the request (<a href="https://github.com/XueshiQiao/AnyDrag/issues/52">#52</a>).</li> <li><b>A plain ⌘-click reaches the app again</b> — With Command as the only drag modifier, a ⌘-click that never turned into a drag was swallowed, so ⌘-clicking a link in a browser didn't open it in a new tab. Such a click is now passed through to the app untouched; ⌘-drag moves windows exactly as before. Thanks to @Plazman888 for reporting it (<a href="https://github.com/XueshiQiao/AnyDrag/issues/53">#53</a>).</li> </ul> <h3>26.10.117 更新内容</h3> <ul> <li><b>App 图标可以放在菜单栏、Dock,或者两边都放</b> — <b>「设置 → 通用 → App 图标显示在」</b>新增三选一:<b>「菜单栏」</b>(默认,和以前完全一样)、<b>「Dock」</b>、<b>「菜单栏和 Dock」</b>。开着 Dock 图标时,点一下它,或者再启动一次 AnyDrag,就能叫出设置窗口,所以把菜单栏图标藏起来也不会再找不到入口。切换立即生效,不用重启。感谢 @hexeric 提出这个需求(<a href="https://github.com/XueshiQiao/AnyDrag/issues/52">#52</a>)。</li> …
