There seems no "On the Settings > Window Location tab" anymore, since the post is a bit older.

Am I right, that this is done now, via Triggers?

I think it's working, but perhaps this helps someone else as well, who sees this post.

Cheers

Just wondering if it's something I can test here :)

Thanks! ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#31 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 02:58:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#31 DisplayFusion I spoke too soon, I have to use my hotkeys about 5 - 6 times to get it to inch bigger or smaller to eventually get to the target location. After that, hitting the hotkeys makes no difference as it's where it's supposed to be. It's like I need to push the app to go to where it belongs. Very odd! ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#30 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 02:25:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#30 DisplayFusion After more than a month of frustration I decided to spend more time thinking about this issue and I considered what you'd said about DPI. I find that the odd application seems to have issues or doesn't display aspects of it's interface on high DPI systems. I figured since there are menu areas of displayfusion that are a bit off with high DPI, that there might be something to this...

I started to play with the values and eventually I found that increasing the width and height by a considerable amount restored the functionality of this function action.

Initially with the aforementioned values, using the hotkey would move the application to various heights and widths, nowhere near where they used to be.

I then set the values to X = 0, Y = -115, W = 3352, H = 2219 and I now have what I want and the hotkey sends the app to where it belongs every time I hit it. It seems if I specify lower W and H the application won't necessarily go to whatever the specified values are supposed to be. ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#29 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:07:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#29 DisplayFusion Could be an issue with the app. Do you have this issue with any other apps? ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#28 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 13:54:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#28 DisplayFusion Well this is interesting... If I set Windows DPI to default "small" the application opens small, smaller than it's wrongly positioned with my previous DPI.

Considering this, I went back to a larger DPI and disabled DPI composition with the application and it seemed to load up roughly to where it should be... but of course, the font is too small for my liking.

Could this be an issue with the application? I don't believe I updated it but perhaps I did. ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#27 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 19:58:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#27 DisplayFusion Sounds good! Also, I noticed that you have font scaling enabled. If you set the font scaling to 100%, logout then login, does the function work? ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#26 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 19:11:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#26 DisplayFusion I updated this morning when it notified me but unfortunately the experience is still the same.

It's funny, the application as it's configured and was previously working would start beyond the corner of the screen, so something like -50, -50 for example, but sometimes when it opens it's something like -36, -25 and when I hit my hotkey combo it gets the top left corner almost where it needs to go but the bottom right is still a couple inches away from the bottom right corner when it should actually be beyond the resolution of my display. If I keep hitting the hot key it eventually gets the top left to the right spot but the window size is still way off.

Since I figured I'm one of the few people that are trying to default a program to open beyond the desktop size, perhaps the only person opening up an app with the top left corner in the X,Y negatives and going beyond my resolution on the bottom right in both directions, I decided for diagnostics to punch in values that are within the constraints of my primary display.

So setting X,Y to 1,1 and going with 2500 x 1400 (on my 2560 x 1440 display) and the result was wrong. The window size was not accurate to the resolution, it was even smaller than before.

However later today I'll test with another app in the event it's the application itself that's the problem and not displayfusion... ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#25 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 18:27:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#25 DisplayFusion Thanks!

I held off on updating displayfusion for some time as I know from experience that if something is working well, you shouldn't change. However after ignoring a few displayfusion updates I decided to go with the latest version. After doing so, the Windows Location's function to Manage Window and align it as detailed in a post above is no longer working.

Basically instead of the application 1, -121 (X,Y) with a width of 2886 x 1619 (the width going onto the second screen), it goes to about a quarter of the primary screen size.

It's getting the 1, -121 mostly right but the width and height it's lessening. If I manually extend the application to those dimensions and hit my resizing hotkey, it makes the window smaller. ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#21 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:53:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#21 DisplayFusion Excellent, glad to hear it! ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#20 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:36:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#20 DisplayFusion I restarted displayfusion and had no tooltips so I figured something was up with my system.

I'm further along than before my question that started this thread so that's good!

I enabled the settings you suggested to show values in a tooltip, but I don't see a tooltip anywhere...? Where should these values be? I thought perhaps it might show next to the cursor like VMware does, but there's nothing there or on the displayfusion taskbar so I'm not entirely sure where I should be looking? ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#16 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 16:05:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#16 DisplayFusion Ok, interesting! I've just tested with Remote Desktop Manager 8.4, and regardless of where I drag the picker, it gets the correct size. If updating to 8.4 doesn't help, I'd say just manually entering the size and location is your best bet. You can also turn on the Window Size/Location ToolTips on the DisplayFusion Settings > Window Management tab, and then when you resize/move the window, it will show the exact size and location in the tooltip on the corner.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#15 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:45:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#15 DisplayFusion Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise Edition Version 8.3.3.0

I'm connecting to the remote sessions 'embedded' within the main window and I'm releasing the targeting icon on 'main screen' as per below, which is basically my remote session and the right side on the right monitor which is basically the list of servers.

What's strange about this is that I have the remote session filling up my entire screen so it's basically 2560 x 1600 minus the pixels of the taskbar, so even if it was capturing the remote session 'window', it should still be about 2545 x 1510 and not what's reported. ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#14 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:27:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#14 DisplayFusion Ok, weird! Which version of Remote Desktop Manager? Also, is it the main window? Or an external RDP connection window that you're dragging the picker over? ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#13 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:42:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#13 DisplayFusion Earlier when I'd mentioned "initially the targeting icon didn't seem to want to pick up the application even when it was in focus", I suppose in response to the more recent message it would be more accurate to say that the targeting icon won't pick up the title bar of the application. It doesn't update when I release on the title bar.

If I release on the aspect of the application on the right most screen, I get
Width - 1362
Height - 999

If I release on the primary window aspect of the application, I get
Width - 1925
Height - 1144

Yet the function seems to apply to the whole application so if I enter 1925 x 1144 into the values, it will shrink the entire program down to 1925 x 1144. I imagine if I added 1925 + 1362 x 999 + 1144, I'd probably get what I wanted for the values (but I can't test that now since I'm typing this in between working). ]]> RE: Remembering 'restore' positioning...? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#12 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:32:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/remembering-restore-positioning/?ID=3f0d4cab-31f7-48f2-988e-8652cafbf9f9#12 DisplayFusion Interesting!
