🎉 Coding Time Tracker for Steam - Version 1.4.0 Release Notes 🚀

We’re thrilled to roll out Coding Time Tracker for Steam 1.4.0!
This release packs a critical fix to ensure your coding sessions start smoothly every time, while keeping all your favorite features intact.

🆕 What’s New in 1.4.0

Summary

  • Split monolithic Program.cs into focused modules across Core/, Steam/, UI/, Platform/, Localization/
  • Replaced hardcoded localization data with .resx resource files
  • Fixed several bugs present in the original implementation
  • Added build automation via Makefile
  • Fixed InnoConfig.iss hardcoded developer paths
  • Added language switching in the system tray menu with persistence
  • Added localized "already running" notification
  • Replaced polling-based window hiding with SetWinEventHook for zero-flicker Kode Studio hiding

Changes

Architecture

  • Core/AppController.cs — orchestrates startup flow and event wiring; implements IDisposable
  • Core/EditorMonitor.cs — event-driven editor detection (EditorStarted / EditorStopped); implements IDisposable
  • Steam/SteamManager.cs — Steam process detection and launch
  • Steam/GameManager.cs — Kode Studio launch, close, and window hiding via WinEvent hooks
  • UI/TrayIconManager.cs — system tray icon and context menu with language switcher; implements IDisposable
  • Platform/NativeMethods.cs — all Win32 P/Invoke declarations centralized
  • Localization/Localizer.cs — culture resolution with manual language override and file-based persistence
  • Localization/Strings.Designer.cs + Strings.resx + 19 culture .resx files — resource-based localization

New Features

  • Language switching: tray menu includes a "Language" submenu listing 20 languages by native name + "System Default"; selection is saved to %LocalAppData%\CodingTimeTrackerForSteam\language.txt and applied immediately by rebuilding the menu
  • Already running notification: duplicate launches show a localized MessageBox instead of exiting silently; translated in all 20 languages
  • Zero-flicker window hiding: uses SetWinEventHook (EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW + EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND) to hide Kode Studio windows at the OS event level the instant they appear, combined with an aggressive 100ms polling timer for the first 5 seconds after launch; after all windows are hidden, NtSuspendProcess freezes the game processes to reduce CPU usage to zero and EmptyWorkingSet flushes physical memory to the page file, bringing RAM usage near zero while Steam continues tracking time

Bug Fixes

  • Thread safety: added lock in EditorMonitor to prevent overlapping timer callbacks from double-firing events
  • Process cleanup: replaced taskkill shell command with Process.Kill() + using for proper handle disposal
  • Timer leak: EditorMonitor now implements IDisposable; disposed via AppController.Dispose() on exit
  • Chinese locale detection: fixed by checking culture.Name (e.g. zh-CN, zh-TW) instead of TwoLetterISOLanguageName which always returns "zh"
  • Process lookup: EditorMonitor uses HashSet<string> for O(1) lookup and ToLowerInvariant() for culture-invariant comparison; GameManager.IsRunning() uses targeted GetProcessesByName() instead of enumerating all processes
  • Multiple instances: added Mutex single-instance guard in Program.cs; subsequent launches show a localized notification
  • Window hiding reliability: replaced one-shot ThreadPool + StringBuilder title-matching approach with EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW WinEvent hook + PID-based matching + initial burst polling timer; windows are hidden immediately when shown

Build Tooling

  • Makefile — make build compiles, make installer builds installer via Inno Setup
  • .gitignore — added installer/ output directory
  • InnoConfig.iss — replaced hardcoded C:\Users\dkflb\... paths with {#SourcePath}-relative paths

Everything else remains just as awesome as before!

✨ Key Features

  • Automatic Time Tracking – Tracks your coding hours across popular IDEs and logs them to Kode Studio.

  • Steam Profile Sync – Show off your coding stats directly on your Steam profile.
