We're going to make another change for the next beta that should fix this up.

When you say it takes a while do you mean the shortcut takes a long time to open compared to the older version? Thanks!


It definitely seems to. I can't compare vs older versions, but if I paste the file location into a "run" prompt, or use a normal shortcut (from Desktop) it takes just under 3 seconds to load. Through DF, it now takes just under 13.

I think older versions of DF were somewhere between the two. ]]> RE: Taskbar Shortcuts all open "My Documents" after 9.4 Update https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-shortcuts-all-open-my-documents-after-94-update/?ID=32e915ef-ecb3-4737-b383-7b8e62f56813#22 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 20:04:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-shortcuts-all-open-my-documents-after-94-update/?ID=32e915ef-ecb3-4737-b383-7b8e62f56813#22 DisplayFusion When you say it takes a while do you mean the shortcut takes a long time to open compared to the older version?

Everything attempted at 0918: -

Taskbar Shortcut - "My Computer" - Works
Taskbar Shortcut - "Invoices" Folder (network location) - Fails, opens "My Documents" instead
Taskbar Shortcut - "Hosting" File (network location) - Fails, nothing happens, no error message
Taskbar Shortcut - "S" Folder (network location) - Fails, opens "My Documents" instead
Taskbar Shortcut - "Chrome" Application - Works

I retried the inactive scrolling (with mouse wheel) and it definitely isn't working. I tried with an IE11 window and an Explorer window and the results are: -

Explorer focused - scrolls nomatter where the mouse is

I still can't reproduce it here. Could you try a full reboot, then send me a debug log?

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the shortcuts 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

Can you also re-test the inactive scrolling after rebooting? It may not work if Chrome is the window that has focus, because DF doesn't hook Chrome any more. ]]> RE: Taskbar Shortcuts all open "My Documents" after 9.4 Update https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-shortcuts-all-open-my-documents-after-94-update/?ID=32e915ef-ecb3-4737-b383-7b8e62f56813#5 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 16:19:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-shortcuts-all-open-my-documents-after-94-update/?ID=32e915ef-ecb3-4737-b383-7b8e62f56813#5 DisplayFusion

It doesn't seem to be working at all. Nothing scrolls when I scroll over a non-focused window (testing with Chrome and IE 11).

Note the only shortcuts I have all point to network locations, if that helps in the diagnosis? They're all available to Windows.

Also, if I edit them to be incorrect, Display Fusion says "Failed to launch this application, the path does not exist" with the correct (incorrect) path, instead of opening "My Documents"...if that makes sense?
