Lighter version

Please note that the IP database is always embedded, if you'd like a lighter version without it, feel free to tell.

I would like this, the notifier is all I want.

Hi, I think the most logical way of doing this would be to never embed it, and to allow downloading / updating it directly from WFN itself for those who want it. Will check that.
Please note that I haven't been able to work on WFN since the last release, so it may take some time...

No problem, I'm still using the older version (v2019.12-u5-beta).

You can also download the new one and delete the database file, I'd be interested to have your feedback on the new version 😉

I did download the new one, but it still doesn't quite work for me. I was almost going to post an issue about no notification for console programs, but turns out there is. Trying again (disable old, enable new) and there was no notification for a GUI program, either; maybe that's just how I start it. When it did work the notification is hidden in the icon (I hide all the windows), so I don't see it (hidden taskbar). Sometimes there was a Windows notification, sometimes not.

Oh ok, sorry about that. Notifications are supposedly more reliable in this version, but some users reported the same so I guess some rework is needed. If the notifier.exe agent was running, then you definitely should have been notified.

Had another look. Nothing was in the security log, which would explain why the notifications weren't working. Disable notifications, apply, enable notifications, apply, now the notifications show up. Still, without the popup it's not much good for me. Speaking of the popup, "Skip..." disappears, replaced with "this connection" or "this program"; selecting one of those leaves the menu open, too. It's also a little annoying that the entire item is highlighted, but you have to click the text. Oh, and sometimes it just closes itself (happened just now, and once when I was testing earlier).
