You can disable the Window Text condition in the profile, but if you have multiple windows with the same process name and window class, then they won't be uniquely identified any more. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#8 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 22:14:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#8 DisplayFusion Yeah, I see where the issue is, after working some hours with different monitors. I've noticed the new Task Mgr has improved in Win10, but they killed the Windows tab. DF can only save the title of the file / browser tab active at one point in time. But if you browse away within the same window or switch the tab in your broswer / open an extra file on the app 'watched' by DF, it would not know what to do with it after moving to the other monitor.
The dock-undock guide was good, but doesn't always work. I'll try with key shortcuts as suggested in that thread.
BTW, I have a Surface Book 2, and the system adjusts the windows when you rotate the screen. Win10 must have an alternative new way to handle windows... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#7 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 19:58:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#7 DisplayFusion Relevant windows has been the default since we added the taskbar feature, but in Windows 10 it causes an issue because Windows removes the window from Task View if there's no button for it on the Windows taskbar. Perhaps we should change the default, but we'll have to do some further research on that before we do ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#6 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 14:31:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#6 DisplayFusion I delayed my reply because I'm in the middle of migrating from one computer to another and had to reinstall DF to try this out. Well, yeah, that did the trick! Neat! Why is 'relevant windows' by default?? This is a great piece of software, it only looks very complicated - as everything Windows... . May every new user / customer get this right. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#5 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 00:21:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#5 DisplayFusion If you set the taskbar mode on the Settings > Taskbar tab to "All taskbars show all windows", then try to load the profile, does it work? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#4 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 20:25:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#4 DisplayFusion Precisely. Position and size were correct, but not restored for all six windows. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#3 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 20:06:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#3 DisplayFusion Thanks for the update! To clarify, was it saving the positions for all 6 windows in the profile, but just not able to load them? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#2 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 17:20:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea#2 DisplayFusion Ok, sorry, I got it. 'Spaces' = Virtual Desktops. I downloaded the trial and tested it. I followed the dock-undock guide https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/automatically-saving-and-restoring-window-positions-on-dockundock/?ID=5540c67a-5e2b-4f41-b88c-de4d9c2fa354. I had 6 instances/windows of Firefox spread across 2 Virtual Desktops on the same monitor. It only saved restored the position of two (2) windows out of 4 on one virtual desktop. You overwrite the profile by saving the other virtual desktop and it "forgets" the position of the windows on the previous desktop. But when you double click on the profile, all bounds / parameters are being saved correctly. I guess DF doesn't know how to find all the windows saved when handling multiple virtual desktops. Manual activation of the profiles doesn't help. I hope this helps other people save their time. I'm out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea Thu, 16 Apr 2020 12:57:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multiple-workspaces-on-a-single-monitor/?ID=6987385f-2721-4779-b561-5a99db7bf1ea DisplayFusion I'm switching from MacOs to Windows 10 and used there Stay to manage app windows on different 'spaces' on the same monitor. In your discussions it seems the focus of DF is handling different monitors. Is there a way I could use DF to save and restore the state of apps in different workspaces in Windows? ]]>
