Dragsens version 1.4

It’s time for a new version of the command-line version of the dragsens utility, which allows one to change the mouse sensitivity for detecting mouse drag actions in Windows.

A comment posted by Mark suggested the addition of a parameter that would show the current sensitivity settings. I added a /D parameter which, when provided by itself in the parameter list, will output the current drag sensitivity settings for the X and Y axes:

Current settings:
X=4, Y=4

This new parameter may also be combined with the existing parameters. For example, to display the current sensitivity settings, set the X and Y sensitivity to 20, and then display the new settings, enter dragsens 20 /d on the command line:

Current settings:
X=4, Y=4

New settings:
X=20, Y=20

I took this opportunity to clean up the help text a little bit, too. Entering dragsens or dragsens /? on the command line will display the following:

Changes the default drag sensitivity.

DRAGSENS [pixels] [/X pixels] [/Y pixels] [/D]

  pixels  The number of pixels the mouse must travel to initiate
          a drag operation. Providing just a number will change both
          the X axis and the Y axis to the same value.

  /X      Change the setting for the X axis (horizontal).

  /Y      Change the setting for the Y axis (vertical).

  /D      Display the current drag sensitivity settings.
