TrayBlank 1.13
Published
This is something unusual - a new version of TrayBlank.
What's new?
Not much, just a couple of small improvements. I have actually been tinkering with TrayBlank on and off for the last few years, but this is the first time I have done something that seems genuinely useful
The biggest change in this version is that TrayBlank doesn't probe the monitors for their capabilities every time one is either physically or virtually plugged in or unplugged. This process is really slow because it gets information from the monitor hardware - and from what I gather this information is unreliable anyway. That slowness resulted in TrayBlank seeming to be hanging for several seconds while it read the monitor details, which needed fixing.
The other change is to how TrayBlank gets the names of the monitors. The way it was doing it before could possibly have assigned the names to the wrong monitors because it was using one API to enumerate the monitors and another to find monitor names. I don't know if they would ever be in a different order, but there was no direct correlation between them.
The new way is a bit more complicated, but it doesn't use two different APIs so should give the correct results every time.
