Could you let me know how it works out after you've had a chance to try it?

Thanks! ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#14 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 06:11:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#14 DisplayFusion

Ok, good news! I think I can reproduce this here now. I've added it to our list, and we'll be sure to let you know when we've gotten it all fixed up :)

Thanks!


alright awesome, thanks for the continued support =) ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#13 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:40:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#13 DisplayFusion Ok, good news!

Interesting! I'll have to do some more testing here to see what I can find out. That would explain why I couldn't reproduce it here, I was only saving the positions, moving the windows, and then restoring them right away, without the system sleep in between :) ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#11 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 02:49:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#11 DisplayFusion

yes ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#10 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 19:58:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#10 DisplayFusion And if you save the positions, then move some windows, then restore them, do they go to the correct spots? ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#9 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:01:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#9 DisplayFusion

Ok, interesting! Does this happen if you save the positions and then immediately restore them, or only when restoring after the computer/monitors have been in sleep mode?


nothing happens if i try to restore them right away, it only happens after the monitors have been in sleep mode ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#8 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 19:35:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#8 DisplayFusion Ok, interesting!

I haven't been able to get an exact replica of your setup yet, and with a similar setup, I couldn't reproduce this issue :(

I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the splits on the top monitor. If you disable the monitor splitting, does that make any difference at all?


that didnt change anything but i i've done some changes since i made this topic.

i disconnected each display one by one and arranged the displays like they should be with the right spacing and made sure the resolution was always the same which i think mightve been one of the reasons the windows were deformed (strange since i saved the monitor positions in the same position when i try to restore them...).

now the window on monitor 2 gets deformed and the window on monitor 3 moves down instead of up like this
http://puu.sh/mZEn3/eca4701f51.png

the white space is the desktop background.

this seems to work on most windows but whats weird is that waterfox keeps this gap persistently, double-clicking the titlebar to maximize does nothing, and hitting the maximize icon doesnt change anything either, it's persistently in non-maximized window mode, i have to restart waterfox for this to go back to normal. i tried this without displayfusion and i did not have this problem.

All in all it might just be because all my monitors use different inputs which messes with everything. DVI-I, DVI-D, Displayport from my GTX 780 and then displayport from my mtoherboard. im probably gonna upgrade this summer so in the worst case scenario ill just have to live this this for a bit longer. ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#6 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:39:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#6 DisplayFusion I haven't been able to get an exact replica of your setup yet, and with a similar setup, I couldn't reproduce this issue :(

Thanks! I'll test this out here with the same setup as yours to see what I can find out.


any update? ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#4 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 15:23:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#4 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

Regarding running two things with the same hotkey, you could create a Scripted Function (Settings > Functions > Add Scripted) that runs the "Save Window Positions" function, then runs your nircmd command. The script would look something like this:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("Save Window Positions");
BFS.General.ThreadWait(1000);
BFS.Application.Start("C:\\blah\\nircmd.exe", "nircmd parameters");


troubleshooting attached, i tested it a few more times and from what i can tell the windows on monitor 2 only sometimes goes off-screen while the windows on monitor 3 will always move to monitor 1 but the width when they resize varies.

the scripted functions worked perfectly ]]> RE: Loading window positions problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#2 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:12:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/loading-window-positions-problems/?ID=ad29409c-8c64-49f8-8e8a-dfa8c14f33aa#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?

saved the monitor position with this layout
http://puu.sh/lKk2u/d16e9e4df5.png


Maximized windows on both monitor 2 and 3

when loading the saved positions the window on monitor 2 will be pushed off-screen like so
http://puu.sh/m2im9/d4f60c168c.png


while the windows on monitor 3 will be pushed to maximize on monitor 1.

if i then 'restore down' the windows on monitor 1 they become deformed like this
http://puu.sh/m2i3y/a2adf65d5a.png


this messes with my toolbars in waterfox and is really irritating

Also is it possible for a function and a windows shortcut to have the same shortcut key somehow?

i have a nircmd command which shuts off my monitors 1 second after pressing SHIFT+CTRL+O and was wondering if somehow the same shortcut can be used to save the window positions ]]>
