I wonder if it's just not being started when I run it from the jump list (I use the DF taskbar on both monitors, with the Windows one hidden).

Could you send me a debug log?
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Ended up with

if (processPath != "C:\\Program Files\\Rainmeter\\Rainmeter.exe")

I have no idea why processPath.Contains didn't work. It should do in theory, but I'm not really familiar with C#

All this because work bought the cheapest KVM, *sigh*

On my work computer it will actually be perfect.

Any idea how I might exclude one specific app from this function. For some reason the window-swap bug I have doesn't include Rainmeter when it swaps windows. I have no idea why other than it's not doing windows in the traditional sense, but instead putting gauges onto the desktop. ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#24 Thu, 21 May 2015 16:43:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#24 DisplayFusion Ah ok, for that you'll want to use the "Move All Windows to Next Monitor" script, instead of the "Swap Topmost Windows on Monitors 1 and 2" script. ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#23 Wed, 20 May 2015 14:43:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#23 DisplayFusion 2 monitors.

Only just bought the software so apologies if I'm asking noob questions.

I can run this script. I get the little popup saying it's running, but it doesn't behave right.
On my Windows 7 machine, none of the windows move.
On my Windows 8 machine, only some move. Putty will move every time. Firefox, Pidgin and Thunderbird only sometimes move, and not all at the same time, so it's pretty much random where the windows will end up.

I would really like this script to work, as my employer bought the cheapest possible dual-monitor KVM and it causes a bug that when switching between computers all the open windows swap sides. ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#20 Tue, 05 May 2015 19:45:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#20 DisplayFusion Yep, that's it!

If what you're asking is what I think it is, its set to "Medium - 125%" on Win7.

This sounds exciting, but there is an issue with the new beta 7.2: It doesn't allow me to set a key combination for the new script -- see the attached image. After I select the modifier ("shift" in this case) and enter "S", the dialogue does not disappear and accept the key combination as it used to in v7.1 (you'll also note the sizing of the window is incorrect).

As a side, in the download script window, can you make the column headers clickable so that one can organize the scripts by "last modified" or "name", etc? This will allow users to see the latest added scripts easily.

Thanks very much,
Charlie ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#16 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:54:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#16 DisplayFusion Actually there is! Not sure why I hadn't posted it to the Scripted Function repository, but it's there now. Here's how to set it up:
This functionality is now available using a Scripted Function. We've written an example one for you. Here's how to set it up:

  • Update to the latest 7.2 Beta (required for this scripted function to work)
  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click the "Download Scripted" button
  • Double-click the script named "Swap Topmost Windows on Monitors 1 and 2"
  • Give it a key combination and click OK
  • Optionally, select it, click "Toggle TitleBar Button" (to add it to the caption bar of every application)
  • Click Apply and test it out

So is there still no way to swap/move only the single top window on each monitor to the other monitor with one keystroke? (on a two-monitor setup)

Thanks,
Charlie ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#14 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 19:15:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#14 DisplayFusion There sure is! Just use the "Move All Windows To Next Monitor" script instead. If you only have two monitors, the "next" monitor is always the "other" monitor :)

Sorry for not updating this thread as well. It somehow fell off my list :( ]]> RE: Feature Request: Swap all windows between monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#13 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:24:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-swap-all-windows-between-monitors/?ID=a173699c-5444-402c-b852-d097e475a093#13 DisplayFusion Hi Keith,

I see Thomas Malloch created the script "Swap All Windows Between Two Monitors", which somewhat accomplishes the Feature Request of this thread (it swaps all windows from one monitor to the next, instead of just the active window). But there is one other overall issue and I'm not sure if this question should be directed to you or Thomas:

Every time the script is executed it queries the user to select a "first" and then a "second" monitor. This query takes a lot of time every instance the script is executed and is unnecessary I believe for users running only two monitors. Is there anyway to bypass this / set the script to a default setting so it does not require a user to input the same information every time the script is executed?

Thanks very much,
Charlie ]]>
