Win7 x64 Enterprise.

I think that the visual selection system works very well! :-)

With that said I must say I think this is a great design decision!
In my opinion visual feedback is always better than plain text or numbers.

Thanks for your effort!
Looking forward to the update. :-)

I have worked with Microsoft on this issue and the result is that it just isn't possible, and Microsoft won't give me the information required to duplicate the Windows display numbers. It's very frustrating for me, as you can imagine. To mitigate this issue, I am re-designing the "Move to Monitor #X" editor to show a picture of your monitor layout, instead of just letting you enter a number. This isn't perfect, but it should reduce confusion.


There is nothing wrong with that... the functionality will be the same, thats all we need.

It's good news for me... looking forward to the update.

Once again, thanks so much for the follow up! ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks.

My third monitor is actually being detected as monitor #4 by display fusion.

I figured I'd go in and set the button to move to monitor #4 and name the title button #3 to make it work, however the hotkey will not allow me to set monitor #4 as an option, it just resets to monitor #3.

If I could get hotkey to stick as monitor #4 i'm betting it would work albeit with an incorrect name situation if would work wonderfully.

Thought I'd just give you that info if you weren't already aware.

As always, we appreciate that you are on the case, and I'm prepared to wait until whenever you can get it working... the software is fantastic! ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks.

Not sure if you have resolved this problem, but I have some additional information.

win7 x64 Enterprise.
3 monitor setup.
Windows reports these as (from left to right) #3, #1, #2 (attachement)
But selecting a fullscreen window will display a number on the screen indicating the monitor number.
Here the sequence is #3, #1, #4 (#4 is attached for clarity) ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks. (triple monitor setup) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-to-monitor-x-quirks-triple-monitor-setup/?ID=5104239e-83bd-4fbf-ae21-7053fbf0bb13#11 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 18:28:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-to-monitor-x-quirks-triple-monitor-setup/?ID=5104239e-83bd-4fbf-ae21-7053fbf0bb13#11 DisplayFusion I had to change the way DisplayFusion detects the monitor ID's, so that the ID's matched the Windows ID's. This now works perfectly everywhere except Windows 7. For some reason, Microsoft changed the ID behaviour in Windows 7 and didn't document it. I am still working with them to fix this for Windows 7, but so far I don't have anything positive to report. The reason it worked in older versions was pure luck. It never worked correctly on my machine, so it's just good luck that it used to work on yours. :) ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks.

Thank you for your effort!

Could say a few words on why this happens in these latest betas while it worked correctly on earlier builds?
I am just curious from a technical standpoint. ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks.

I'm having this same issue. I've gotten the new Beta 6 but the problem persists. Just wondering if you are aware or if there is maybe a problem on my end. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit by the way.

Thanks, I love the software by the way.. best $25 I've spent on software in a long time. ]]> RE: Move to monitor X quirks.

Not sure if it was introduced in this version or if .101 also had this.

Win7 X64 enterprise.
Triple monitor setup.
From left to right 3 - 1 - 2.
Main monitor is number 1.

I have created 3 hotkeys called
Move to monitor #1
Move to monitor #2
Move to monitor #3

Setup for the hotkey is attached.

Added buttons in the titlebar (attached).

So far so good.

The problem is this:

Activating "move to monitor 2" actually moves the window to monitor 3.
It makes no difference if this function is activated on monitor 1, 2 or 3.

The "move to next" and "move to previous" work as they should and will move the window to monitor 2 when instructed.
"Move to monitor #1" and "move to monitor #3" work as expected.

Can anyone verify this?
Or is this a problem only on my rig? ]]>
