I'm not sure what would have caused it to be disabled, but I'm glad to hear that it's all fixed up now. Have a great weekend! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-no-longer-updates-automaticaly-when-connecting-laptop-to-different-secondary-monitors/?ID=9e29f9aa-ade6-4327-b614-d0aa738aef9b#3 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:57:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-no-longer-updates-automaticaly-when-connecting-laptop-to-different-secondary-monitors/?ID=9e29f9aa-ade6-4327-b614-d0aa738aef9b#3 DisplayFusion Don't know what planet I was on. I found the auto-fix setting in the Wallpaper settings button on the Desktop Wallpaper dialog. That fixed it. Don't know why it turned off when it was on in a previous release, though.

Mark this one as handled.

I'm using the current beta (or maybe the one just before that - see troubleshooting info). For some iterations, I've noticed that when I plug my laptop into a different monitor, rather than rearranging the wallpaper so it exists on appropriate monitors, DF does nothing. The result is a patchwork of images across the monitors. See the attached image and troubleshooting info.

Maybe some configuration setting changed to prevent the auto-rearrange. Don't know. To me it feels like a bug since no amount of searching the settings has helped me fix it. Maybe it's not obvious to me.

Help!

-Robert

(PS, the beta number is no longer visible on the About tab of the settings dialog.) ]]>
