What’s New

Version 2.503:

Added a message about the new EU data privacy laws and updated the privacy policy on my website. There might be some more updates to the privacy policy during the next few weeks. In that case I'll inform you.
Added Touch Bar Gestures: Two Finger Swipes, Three Finger Swipes and Four Finger Swipes. They can easily replace some brightness / volume sliders. Just assign the predefined actions "Volume Up/Down" or "Brightness Up/Down". See the documentation for more info.
Added option to repeat assigned actions for Touchpad & Magic Mouse Gestures while there are still fingers touching the trackpad after triggering the gesture (see https://docs.bettertouchtool.net/docs/magic_mouse_trackpad.html).
Added option to trigger another Named Trigger after no fingers are touching the trackpad anymore (after triggering a Touchpad Gesture). For example this allows to trigger a middle-click down when doing a three finger click (with the custom click action) and a middle-mouse-click up when removing all fingers from the trackpad. (see https://docs.bettertouchtool.net/docs/magic_mouse_trackpad.html)
Added a "visible checkbox" to the Touch Bar tab. This allows you to temporarily disable/hide Touch Bar items. It also allows you to hide Touch Bar Groups that you only want to open using the predefined action "Open Touch Bar Group"
The JSON Import/Export can now also include all general preferences (optional).
Improved the "Other" tab in BTT.
Named triggers can now show the overlay HUD
Fixed an issue with Dropbox Sync.
Fixed an issue where modifier keys may unhide the BTT Touch Bar permanently
Fixed an issue where Apple or Shell Scripts assigned to a Touch Bar widget would trigger twice in some cases.
