Hi there!
It is now possible to run Mosaico without Steam showing your online status as "In game: Mosaico".
This feature has been largely requested over time, so I'm happy to announce that from now on you'll be able to run Mosaico separately from Steam client. This also means that if you set the "Run at Windows startup" option, Steam client will not run anymore.
This feature has been available for beta users for about two weeks. Now that it is implemented in the main branch, you may want to disable your participation at the beta.
What changes now?
This change was made possible by the integration of a new licensing system. This system is developed in-house and it's separated from Steam DRM. If you own Mosaico you received a serial key that's used to register Mosaico with our license server. Registration happens silently so there's no need to manually input the serial key. In future it will possible to use this key to register the retail version of Mosaico, which is downloadable from here: www.soulidstudio.com. At the moment though, this is still not possible, so please be patient :)
Also please note that "In game: Mosaico" will be shown for about 10 minutes overall, before being hidden permanently. This is intended to give you enough "play time" to be able to write a review on Steam.
What's new?
This version is 1.8.1. Here's a list of changes:
- New feature to import and export snapshots. Save your snapshots on a file and load them on another PC to have the same work environment.
- New feature to import and export settings. Export your settings to another computer or just save more than one profile to use on the same PC.
- Change settings folder. You can set Mosaico to store snapshots and settings in a folder of your choice. For example a shared folder over a network.
- Fixed a bug where recycled windows handles may cause restored windows to be swapped.
- Steam version doesn't show "In game: Mosaico" anymore
- Fixed a bug where maximized windows would be restored on a wrong monitor
- Mosaico now remembers its position and size through reboots.
