KNOWN ISSUES 🔍
● SWM not visible on some apps (Chrome, Photoshop.. etc.) because they are using custom icons instead of using native system minimize and maximize buttons. Use keyboard shortcut on these windows
● If you use SWM on other apps when a BTT window active, BTT window brings to front
● Maximize / Restore action cant resize finder window to correct size when Edge Gap enabled
TROUBLESHOOT 🚨
● SWM sends a system notification if there is an error. So keep notifications enabled for BTT
You can try these to solve problems
● Update BTT to latest alpha
● Delete BTT variables to reset all SWM settings from BTT settings > Scripting BTT > Reset All Variables
● Try previous version of SWM to confirm that is working. So i know problem on current release
● Steps that below a bit advanced side. Send a post about your problem if you have problem only one function. Sometimes difference between macOS versions can be reason of problem
● If current window loses focus then SWM not shows up
Open SWM preset folder > Prefs.js > change DevMode to 1
Try to open SWM window then right click (try 2 times if context menu no shown) > choose inspect element.
You can still right click if SWM not visible
Click console tab then take a screen shot if you see other type of errors
Also you can click "All" on top filter bar to see all SWM or System related extra info . expand object with clicking arrow
● Clearing cache might be helpful for some situations
