Is there a guide to setup the functions you mention? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#20 Mon, 07 Dec 2020 20:50:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#20 DisplayFusion You'd need a combination of a Custom Function for launching the app, and a Trigger rule to move it.

This guide has steps for creating the Custom Function and Trigger rules to run on startup. You can just assign a key combination to the Custom Function, and skip the Trigger rule for "DisplayFusion Starts." The rest of the guide should apply just the same

Is it possible to Launch an app and set it to a specific window with DisplayFusion Hot Keys? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#18 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 18:30:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#18 DisplayFusion Owen is off today so I'll take over this for now.

Regarding the crashing, I've run into that a couple of times with Beta 7 here as well. Still working on trying to reproduce it reliably but as soon as we can, we'll get it fixed up for the next beta.

Regarding the Sierra window not getting moved when you load the profile, it looks like the Window Text might be changing depending on which window you have open. If you disable the Window Text condition for that entry in the profile and apply the settings, that should hopefully fix it up ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#17 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 22:48:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#17 DisplayFusion Thanks Owen
It was all going well building profiles ctrl + atl + F10/9 and then is went to build using Ctrl Alt F8 - do try it - disaster. It disabled my graphics card. And Restarting doesn't work...! Anyhow I eventually got it going again. And I built several profiles using Shft Ctrl F 12/11/10/9/8/ and they all worked for the most part. Just out of the blue DF stopped working a couple of times but I hadn't started the debugger. I've tried several times and different scenarios but cant get it to stop working while in debug mode. SO now, it almost works without issue bouncing between the different profiles using the different Hot Key Combinations i set up.

I say almost because the program that keeps reverting to the primary screen (on sleep that I need to go to a non-primary screen) will not revert at all, no matter where I move it. I've highlighted the app on the snapshot attached to the end of the word document. Its typical because this is one of 2 apps that I wanted DF to position..... Any suggestions?? Please see attached.

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#15 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 18:28:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#15 DisplayFusion Thanks

Strange! We've haven't seen that before. We're you running our latest beta, version 6?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#9 Fri, 27 Nov 2020 11:49:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#9 DisplayFusion Just to add to the above. When I accessed the Nvidia control panel. That window continuously flashed sporadically and would not allow me to tick the Check Box for the 2nd external monitor.
However, I fully uninstalled Display Fusion and after that the Nvidia control panel (under "set up multiple displays") allowed the 2nd monitor's check box to be ticked and the monitor is working now.
Is there a known conflict between DF and any of Nvidia's drivers or firmware? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#8 Fri, 27 Nov 2020 11:37:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#8 DisplayFusion I was trying a few things yesterday (with DF) and I seem to have screwed up my system. I have 2 identical monitors connected to the Laptop, Acer K222HQL. 1 via HDMI and the other via DP. They worked perfectly since connection (for over 6 months). Now the laptop will only output to 1 external monitor.
If both are plugged into the laptop then the one on the HDMI gets pref.
It will only output to the DP if the HDMI display monitor is not connected

I cant seem to troubleshoot it. The laptop runs the external monitors from a Navidia 1060 GPU. And the Laptop screen uses a intel uhd 630 integrated GPU.
Ive disconnected. restarted. Uninstalled drivers and updated them. I cant get the GPU to output to the 2 monitors anymore. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#7 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 18:39:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#7 DisplayFusion Hi Galvan,

Thanks for sending that over, it looks like you've spent quite a bit of time working on this! I'll make some notes about the document you sent below:

1) The first part of your testing where you create a monitor profile in the Monitor Configuration screen shouldn't be needed for what your trying to set up. A monitor profile is used for loading monitor settings, like changing resolutions, add / removing monitors, etc.

2) Looks like your on the right track with setting up your triggers. I want to try to get a windows position profile working first before we attach it to a trigger, so if you follow the steps below and we can get it working, then we can start troubleshooting the trigger part.

Steps to create a windows profile:

1) Open up the windows you would like saved, and move them to where you want them saved. Keep them open there.

2) Open up Display Fusion Settings, and head to the "Window Position Profile" tab

3) Create a new profile, and give it a name, and assign it a key combination with the "Set Hotkey" button in the top right.

4) Click Okay

5) If you shuffle some windows around, and then press your hotkey, it should the windows back to their original location

Give that a shot, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#6 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:02:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#6 DisplayFusion Hi Owen and thanks for the input

I created a word doc that sets out , step by step, what I've set up in Display fusion and the outcome. Its attached (it may look long winded but its mostly snap shots.)

I've failed to find on Google how to do what you have suggested (setting key combinatiosn to restore window position from last save) maybe you can point me in the correct location to learn how to do this?
Thanks ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#5 Tue, 24 Nov 2020 20:41:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayport-problems-on-wakeup/?ID=31113dcd-ea80-444d-a3d8-5518bff52a21#5 DisplayFusion Hi Galvan,

If you create a key combination in the Functions tab for "Restore window position from last save", and then manually try to load the position after your computer wakes up, does that work?

One port uses a display port (DP). I have the problem of the DP-monitor shutting down when laptop sleeps. Consequently the app that is running on the monitor revert to the primary monitor (laptop screen). So I have to manually move that app's windows back to the DP-monitor. I'm trialing DisplauFusion to resolve the problem but I have not been successful. Eventhough I have tried to follow the discussion steps that have highlighted this problem I find that my tech ability (and knowledge lacking) isn't good enough to code and troubleshoot the code needed. Is there an 'idiots' guide to setting this up and getting it working? ]]>
