Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#15 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 13:41:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#15 DisplayFusion Thanks! I was able to reproduce this here now too. It seems that the profile is only partially detected by DisplayFusion if any of the monitors are cloned. We've added this to our list to fix up and we'll be sure to let you know when it's all sorted out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#14 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 23:28:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#14 DisplayFusion Here's a screenshot that shows the profile is detected. Funny thing is with this screenshot (before i cropped everything out), Monitor 1+3 showed as all black, even though I had my email app visible there. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, or if that is just Windows. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#13 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 18:18:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#13 DisplayFusion Thanks! In the debug log I can see where the Monitor Profile was switched, but the Troubleshooting info doesn't seem to be recognizing the current/previous profile for some reason:

Current Profiles: -
Last Used Profile: -

Just to double-check (I think I already asked this, but want to re-confirm it's still the case), when you switch to the "Extended (Desk/Small-Bed 1080p)" profile, is it showing up in the top-left of the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#12 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 19:31:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#12 DisplayFusion Here is the attachment you requested ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#11 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 14:42:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#11 DisplayFusion Ok, could you send me a debug log for this issue?

I applied the work around to all profile triggers, and the results are exactly the same as what is described in my first post. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#9 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 20:09:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#9 DisplayFusion Sure thing. I'll mess with it today, or tomorrow, and let you know. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#8 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 19:11:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#8 DisplayFusion You're correct! The "current" monitor is the one with the mouse cursor. I will do some testing with your backup anyways, but let me know if that workaround works for you as well. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#7 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 17:07:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#7 DisplayFusion Done. Just before export, I changed one setting. Settings > Options > Default tray icon behavior: changed to "move all windows to current monitor".

Is the 'current' monitor the one where the mouse cursor is? If that's the case, I may not even need these custom functions, because it sounds like I can just set the same function I just set for default icon behavior as the action for all monitor profile changes.

if the 'current' monitor right after a profile change is always the primary display, then that is what I would want... I want all windows to move to the primary display on any profile change that includes an extended desktop. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#6 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 15:36:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-custom-triggers-and-functions-not-working-in-certain-display-configurations/?ID=7e2a6e81-837f-441b-86d7-905fd327e776#6 DisplayFusion Could you attach a copy of your DisplayFusion settings?

Second screenshot is the custom function created for that trigger rule.

Primary Display 1: Desktop - Always identified as Display 3
Primary Display 2: Bed - Handicapped display, always identified as Display 2
Secondary display: Second desk monitor used for extended desktop, identified as Display 1

I use triggers in order to move all windows to the primary monitor on Monitor Profile change.

if I have Desktop as primary, and extended as 3 (Primary), 1, 2, a trigger set to move all windows to monitor 3 correctly moves all windows to the Desktop monitor.

if I have desktop as primary, and the other two cloned like 3 (Primary), 1/2 (Extended clone) then a trigger set to move all windows to monitor 3 appears ignored.

Wondering if I'm just doing something wrong when setting these up, or whether this is an actual bug. ]]>
