I had old profiles which made me miss the alphabetical sorting of the new ones.

I'm now updating them all and prefixing their name so i can have the prefered order. It works perfectly. Thank you. ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#44 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:19:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#44 DisplayFusion Monitor profiles will be sorted alphabetically, but newly saved profiles will be sorted before old ones. If you have any profiles saved from older versions with an asterisks (*) beside them, you can re-save them and they should be sorted in with the main list.

I've also added manually sorting them to our feature request list.

Thanks for the kind words as well! ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#43 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 11:27:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#43 DisplayFusion Hi,

anyone know if it's possible to manually reorder monitor profiles ?

I can't find any option about this in Profile Management windows and because it does not seem to follow alphabetical order I can't even cheat by prefixing names.

If not, I think it would be a nice fonctionnality for a following update :)

(As it's my first post here, I also want to thank the BinaryFortress team because this piece of software is really great) ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#42 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 16:29:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#42 DisplayFusion You can use our triggers (guide on that here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/Triggers/) to have a monitor profile loaded automatically when your application is launched and closed.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#41 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 20:11:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#41 DisplayFusion Is there a way to make switching monitor resolutions when specific applications are launched?

I'm using DLDSR and some games in borderless. I'd like it to change to the 4k resolution when a specific game or application is launched and then revert back to the original resolution when closed. Is this possible? ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#40 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 21:51:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#40 DisplayFusion Thanks Owen! I was using the Monitor Config feature from the Desktop. When I switched an used the Windows Position Profile, it pulled in Edge and placed it where it should be.

Strange, are you using a Window Position Profile to move the windows?

Thanks! ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#38 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 22:47:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#38 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion works great with all apps except for Microsoft Edge. I have a default configuration with Outlook and Microsoft ToDo and Edge on my second monitor. Outlook and ToDo kick over to the second monitor when I startup or use the shortcut key. But Edge never goes over, no matter how many times I save the configuration. I always have to drag it over. Is there a special way to make it work or an upcoming release? ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#37 Fri, 27 Mar 2020 17:57:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#37 DisplayFusion Hi all!

We've just released a new DisplayFusion Beta version and the Error 87 issue should hopefully be fixed up.

Could you try updating, and if your profiles still throw an Error 87 when trying to load them, try re-saving the profiles?

Please let me know how it works out :) ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#36 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 17:15:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#36 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for confirming! We are working on the Error 87 issue with cloned monitor setups, so for now, just stick with 9.5, and we'll let you know when it's all fixed up in a new beta :)

@Rob: Are any of the monitors cloned in those profiles?


In my "solo" profile there are no cloned monitors (all extend). In my "Collaboration" profile one is mirrored and the other two extend. But regardless of which one I'm on (doing it manually), switching to the other one errors with the same error. ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#32 Fri, 28 Feb 2020 19:38:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#32 DisplayFusion @Rob: Are any of the monitors cloned in those profiles? ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#31 Fri, 28 Feb 2020 17:23:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#31 DisplayFusion I have two monitor configurations for work, with four different monitors. Each configuration uses three monitors. I have had these profiles setup for a long time and have always worked switching with a keybind. Suddenly, maybe 2 or 3 updates ago, I can no longer load either profile with the keybind or by selecting it in the drop list.

Here's the error I'm getting:

An error has occurred while applying your new Monitor configuration.
Please check your settings and try again.
Error: Failed to call SetDisplayConfig. [HR: 87]

I've tried the two most recent beta editions and neither fixes it. ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#30 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 17:24:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#30 DisplayFusion @WhiteWolf: Ah ok. On the Settings > Functions tab, you can download scripted functions. If you grab the one called "Swap All Windows Between Two Monitors" and give it a hotkey, it will prompt you to choose two monitors, and it will then swap the open windows between both of them.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#29 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 21:38:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#29 DisplayFusion Aha. It does. I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to swap the contents of two monitors quickly and easily, do they? I'm a Streamer, but I don't wanna go moving my keyboard and mouse around to turn from a Main monitor to a Gaming monitor, but I also don't want to risk stuff like names of my Steam Friends being broadcast by accident.
I was hoping Monitor Profiles could do this. Swap the center monitor with the left one, which would be empty. ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#28 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 18:11:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#28 DisplayFusion @WhiteWolf: Monitor Profiles are for saving and loading different monitor configurations. For example, let's say you have 3 monitors, and sometimes you like to have just 1 monitor enabled, other times you like to have all 3 enabled. You could save a profile for each of those configurations, and then use DisplayFusion to quickly load whichever one you need.

Hope that makes sense! ]]> RE: Working with DisplayFusion Monitor Profiles https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#27 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 07:13:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-monitor-profiles/?ID=5f41fdbd-bb4f-4052-8de2-a34e47468ec0#27 DisplayFusion Just trying to make sure I understand what Monitor Profiles does.
Will this switch everything that's on the main (center) monitor with a side one, or will this simply change the logical layout of physical monitors from "Left, Center, Right" to "Center, Left, Right"?
