Odd. If I'm not mistaken, all you did was change all 1's into 2's (except for GetMonitorBoundsByID). I tried that myself, and it didn't work. Perhaps I missed something

The primary monitor is now ID # 2 instead of 1.

But I see no option to change the IDs in the nvidia CP or in windows.
With my limited selt-taught programming knowledge I tried changing the IDs in the script from 1 to 2, and it sort of works, I can move from ID 2 to 1 just fine, but switching back doesn't. ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#15 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:05:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#15 DisplayFusion Can you check to see if the monitor IDs are swapped when you do that? ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#14 Sun, 23 Feb 2020 11:49:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#14 DisplayFusion The script stops working when I change the order the of the monitors' ports on the grahpic card, it only works when my secondary monitor is in the primary/first gpu port, but I need my main monitor in the first part so the bios appears on the primary, and the bios will only ever talk to the first port.

Any idea why?

Funny, I tried copying that bit in both if and else clauses but it didn't work when I did it. Perhaps you changed something else.

This script is so such a massive improvement to anyone using splits like I do, which I presume many people would if they were more aware of it.

I constantly rant to my friends and family how awesome displayfusion is (at least to those that use more than 1 monitor), but so many don't want to dive deep into settings to look for features.
This feature should be advertised more!

thanks again for this tremendous deed!

When I test the script here, it goes back to the same position on the left monitor as well. I'm testing using Notepad.

Can you send me screenshots of the before and after positions? ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#9 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 11:25:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#9 DisplayFusion Do you build a throne (like in Game of Thrones) out of all the awards you get for amazing customer support?

Wow, I don't think someone has ever written a script for me before. How extremely kind and awesome!!!

The script is a HUGE improvement!
I can certianly live with it like this for sure, but for some reason it doesn't return to it's original position when I switch it back.

Executing the script when it is on the primary monitor moves it to the same position on the second (perfect) but when I move it back it ignores it's last horizontal position (all windows are always docked to the left when returned to the primary monitor)

Being a novice programmer myself, I tinkered around in your script to try and remedy this, but to no avail.

I feel awfully greedy asking for more again, but since it is almost perfect.. :-/ ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#8 Mon, 07 Oct 2019 18:56:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#8 DisplayFusion Ok, try out this scripted function.

Haven't been able to get this to work the way I would like, as I can only select one of the splits. I wish there was a function move to next physical monitor and ignore virtual/splits.

Use case:
on my secondary monitor i often have lots of static things running in the samze size an position (discord, monitoring software, friends list, chats, email, etc)

When I am focusing on something on my primary monitor (a large website, video in VLC, etc) and want to shift focus to something else, I'll hit the hotkey for move current window to other monitor until I am finished, then move it back.

Since the splits on my secondary are much smaller for my email program/buddy list etc, it resizes them and I have to hit the hotkey once for each split to cycle through them all and get it back on my primary. Then arrives back at my primary as small as the smallest split from the secondary and I have to resize it again. Very annoying

Would it be possible to add this as a feature request? I can't imagine I'm the only one who uses their PC like this ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#4 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 14:33:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#4 DisplayFusion You would need to Custom Functions, yep!

i use the win-alt-x command to push a window back and forth, while I switch windows as needed.

so with this method i would need two commands, one to move to primary and one back to the secondary. is that correct?

does it have to maximize? i just want it in the same size, moved over ]]> RE: Ignore monitor splits when moving window to next monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#2 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 01:22:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/ignore-monitor-splits-when-moving-window-to-next-monitor/?ID=2f451f05-4214-473b-aa3f-fae772262e52#2 DisplayFusion Is the primary monitor split as well? If not, you could setup a custom function (Settings > Functions > Custom Functions > New Custom Function) that moves the window to the primary monitor and maximizes it.

I use the hotkeys to move a window to my main one when I want to focus on it, and otherwise have it maximazed in a smaller portion of the other monitor.

Moving to next monitor moves it through the splits with all kinds of different sizes and it comes to my primary monitor the size of the smallest split in the order.

Is there any way to move entire windows between physical monitors and ignore splits?

thanks in advance ]]>
