My monitor setup is fairly simple, just two landscape monitors, but my usage of each is quite specific. One is my work screen, that doesn't change backgrounds that often (because the background is usually hidden behind something), and the other is like my scrapbook screen, that changes backgrounds every five minutes.

My second screen displays the images in either orientation, at their default size, against a gradient background, as they are mostly smaller than the screen resolution... it's just like an active slideshow to keep something interesting on screen.

But on my main screen I like to have full screen images, that fit right. But sometimes I would like to point both screens at the same folder, but can't because of how my primary screen displays images.

I only use DF for the wallpaper changing features, so the orientation thing is just a feature that I think about every now and again. It probably doesn't bother most people when images aren't displayed just right, but with me having an artist/photography background, composition is everything... so I can be a fussy bugger when it comes to images.

It's no biggie, I just thought I would ask with the scripting being something fairly new... thanks for the replies. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#4 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 18:52:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#4 DisplayFusion No worries! I was just checking, because my workaround would involve creating separate profiles for landscape and portrait, and then using a Scheduled Task to randomly choose one on an interval. Guess that's out though

We do still have your request on our list, so I will definitely let you know when we've been able to implement it.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#3 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 19:03:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#3 DisplayFusion The same, if they were in different folders, there would be no need for the function, as I would simply point the programme at the landscape folders.

Edit: After reading that back, it sounds a bit condescending... it wasn't intended like that, I just couldn't think of another way to express it at the time. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#2 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 18:53:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593#2 DisplayFusion You could actually do this with a scripted function, in a roundabout sort of way. Are your portrait/landscape images in the same directory, or separate ones? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 22:24:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/could-the-scripting-functions-solve-my-ancient-orientation-matching-feature-request/?ID=0c52d666-00a8-4e67-a003-6184b9ef0593 DisplayFusion Many moons ago, I posted a feature request that I'm guessing wasn't that popular amongst other users. The feature was to add an option to limit the orientation of the image chosen, to match the orientation of the monitor. So if my monitor is landscape, it would only choose landscape images. This already existed (at the time) for online sourced images, but oddly, not for local sourced images.

Before going digging into the new scripting features, I just thought I would ask to see if someone could advise as to whether this was, or wasn't possible. I don't learn new things as easily as I used to, so being pointed in the right direction beforehand, would be really helpful. ]]>
