I've been using Dvorak for about 2 years and the only thing I've hated about it is the fact that I have to use both hands to do copy and paste, since C and V are now on the right side of the keyboard. Because of that I've had to keep qwerty as an alternative and use Win + Space everytime I needed to use shortcut heavy programs (blender for example).
I also decided to start using my secondary monitor vertically, and somehow, Microsoft doesn't allow us to stack windows vertically by default, it's so unpractical. Fancyzone is just perfect.
This is a game-changer for me. Thank you so much!

Am I the only person who has a problem with PowerRename showing -Loading... Please wait while the selected items are enumerated.- dialog showing up almost every time even when I don't have the -Enumerate items- checkbox selected? Sometimes the main dialog will display and -Please wait- is still running in the background and sometimes it persists even after I close the main dialog.

I love it, especially the fancy zones feature!
Question:
I am using batch files for different use cases. For example, -Daily Meeting-: Opening MS Teams, Miro, Outlook and Notepad via shortcut.
Can I automatically assign the applications to the window settings that I prepared in fancy zones?

Damn, this application is awesome. I always love supporting open source software such as this and this is gonna be a big one for me. I downloaded it for the fancy zones since I'm getting an ultrawide monitor but I was curious about all the other features. Thanks for the great video.

Hi Kevin! I installed the Powertoys app and worked great for a while! Now even if I choose another fancy zone, there is always the same type of only 3 columns. I cannot change the fancy zone and there is a pop up that says: -Match not found(0,0,3840,2160)- Could you help me? Thank you!

Kevin: please update! 'Apply' and the Pane-layout for FancyZones does _not_ look like it does in your Video. Without 'apply' I find the ghost layout just vanishes when I exit the Editor. I am running the latest Build v0.53.3 (Preview).

I downloaded the .exe, and I launched it. It said downloading .net then it disappeared. I can't find it in search or in the -tray. When I try to delete it, it does not allow me because it is -open in PowerToys Bootstrapper-

Very informative, however, when trying to utilize Image Resizer, I right click on my file and only Power Rename comes up in the menu. Does that mean Image Resizer cannot be used for that particular file?
