AssistantComputerControl Versions Save

This version bring a lot of bugfixes. More info in the "readme" release file.

This new update brings a ton of new features, like;

• 8 new actions

  • write_out: speech to text! Say a phrase, and it will be written out in the focused text field
  • open_all: opens all files & folders at a specific location
  • monitors_off: turns off all monitors connected to the PC
  • create_file: creates an empty file at a desired location with a name and extension
  • delete_file: deletes file or folder at a specific path
  • append_text: writes something at the end of a desired file
  • message_box: open a classic message box with custom content & title
  • music:previousx2: Does the previous action twice in a row (for applications like Spotify, where one "previous" isn't enough)

• Anonymous analytics

  • Please read: ACC can now gather information about your behavior within the software (how many actions you do, which and what assistant you use). This is all anonymous, and nothing personal about you is gathered. The only purpose of this is to make ACC better, giving the developer a better idea of how the software is actually used.

You decide whether you want the analytics data to be sent to the developer - you can always change your mind and turn it on/off. Nothing is sent without your consent.

Added;

• New action; hibernate

Fixed;

• GoogleDrive incompatibility
• Assistant Tester crashes
• Bug resulting in people with Dropbox Business not being able to use ACC
• General bugfixes & improvements

Bugfixes

Fixed a few bugs;

• If Dropbox wasn't installed before ACC was opened, it crashed [fixed]
• Old forgotten "yes/no" dialog about installing Dropbox [removed]
• Small changes to the update system

I finally feel like ACC is at a place where it can be considered a full official release!

New:

• Installer (ACC is now installed on your computer instead of being a clickonce-application)
• A lot of bugfixes
• A lot of new features;
  • User-friendly UI (settings, "getting started" and more!)
  • Smart custom update-system (automatically checks for updates, and installs them if the user agrees)
  • Personal or shared (anonymous) analytics;
    • It is now logged how many times each action is executed. You can choose to share this with the webserver, so that we better know which actions are the most popular (all anonymous of course, we just gather the numbers, nothing about you)
  • Better version-control (new web UI)

This is by far the most solid version of ACC to date, but if you do find a bug or have a problem, please don't hesitate to let us know in the Issues section here on GitHub.

Hope you enjoy this version of ACC! If you have any suggestions, go join our Discord server and let us know!
