I tested out Photoshop 2024 but I couldn't seem to reproduce it there, do you have a download link for CC 2019? ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#24 Tue, 14 May 2024 11:15:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#24 DisplayFusion I created a new profile of my default layout called "Test", and it says "Detected Profile: Test" in the top-left. If I load a different layout, it would go away, as expected. But if I load my old profile that has the exact same layout as my Test profile, it would also display "Detected Profile: Test". So I guess profiles created before a certain version no longer gets detected, despite one still able to load them.

Also, it turns out that the mirror issue with the black border on maximize only happens when I try to mirror Adobe Photoshop. So the way Photoshop (or at least my version of it, which is CC 2019) handles its window doesn't play nice with DF's code. That would also explain why you haven't been able to replicate the issue, since you probably didn't test it with Photoshop.

Just so you can see what I see: here are two screenshots of my relevant monitors, one with the parent window not maximized but made to span the whole monitor, and the other with it maximized. The larger monitor on the left has the mirror window (to the left of the Photoshop Navigator sub-window) and the parent window is on the smaller monitor on the right. Also, I just noticed that when I maximize the parent window, it puts a red outline around it for whatever reason.
(The short, cyan line at the top of the larger monitor is just Window's screen-snipping UI hiding itself as I captured the two monitors, so that's not part of the bug.) ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#23 Mon, 13 May 2024 14:28:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#23 DisplayFusion Okay if it's not detecting the profile then that's definitely why the trigger isn't running. If you create a random new profile, does it show it's detected?

I can't seem to reproduce that mirror issue as well, could you send me over a video? ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#22 Fri, 19 Apr 2024 15:57:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#22 DisplayFusion

If you open the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window when you are about to create the mirrored window, does it show the correctly detected profile in the upper left?
It doesn't indicate what the profile is on the upper-left. But even loading the designated Monitor Profile of the trigger, despite being already on it just to make sure, right before triggering the trigger doesn't do anything.

Is the mirror window showing two black bars on the sides? If so, it does that to maintain the aspect ratio
That is not what's going on. There's a black border an all four sides, roughly 10-15 pixels thick. I mirrored a 1920x1080 window on my display tablet onto the mirror window on my bigger main monitor, and made sure down to the pixel that it's mirroring the pixels on a 1-to-1 scale. When the parent window is made to span 1920x1080 while not maximized, the appropriately sized mirror window mirrors it 1:1. But when I maximize the parent window on the 1920x1080 monitor, the mirror window suddenly adds a thick black border on all four sides.

Attached is my Monitor Configuration window. ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#21 Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:47:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#21 DisplayFusion If you open the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window when you are about to create the mirrored window, does it show the correctly detected profile in the upper left?

I had the Trigger conditions set to only apply to a certain Monitor Profile, which caused it to not trigger despite being on that monitor profile. Turning off the condition for Monitor Profile makes it work as intended. No delay, or any other conditions I tried to add to fix it previously, is needed. So the bug is with the Triggers not detecting monitor profiles correctly, it would seem.

On a side note: why is it that when you create a mirror window for any Window, it doesn't have a black border on the mirror window when the parent window is not maximized, but when you maximize the parent window, the mirror window adds a black border (making the display area of the mirror window smaller as a result)? ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#19 Mon, 21 Aug 2023 14:03:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#19 DisplayFusion Strange, it seems to be working fine here.

I tried adding a delay of half a second to the trigger just now, but that didn't make the trigger work, so I don't think WHEN the function is applied is the issue. ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#15 Tue, 15 Aug 2023 13:13:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#15 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over.

One to create the Mirror Window, and then another to move and resize the created window. Resizing sudden stopped working on borderless Mirror Windows even when trying to apply it manually (but the repositioning function still works), so I don't think it has anything to do with the trigger rules specifically. If I change the trigger rule to create a bordered Mirror Window, instead, then the resizing happens as expected. ]]> RE: Mirror to Second Display [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#2 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:10:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mirror-to-second-display-split/?ID=8255a726-8a48-4d55-a62d-17728a86592f#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a screenshot of the Trigger rule for the mirror window?

It seems to still work on ones with borders, though.
