Those dialogs behave very strangely in XP. We've tried to fix them in the past with no luck ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#6 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:54:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#6 DisplayFusion Now it works better. Thank you!

BTW, I noticed that snapping feature doesn't work with message boxes and explorer's "run app" (WIN+R) and "delete file" dialogs. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#5 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:30:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#5 DisplayFusion Ah ok, if you're only snapping to monitor edges then 25px is a good distance, but for snapping to other windows we recommend setting it to 15px or lower. Could you give that a try and let me know if it works any better?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#4 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:35:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#4 DisplayFusion 25 pixels,
All checkbox on tab are checked, snapping mode is last one (3), snapping key is Shift. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#3 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:48:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/better-windows-snapping-algorithm/?ID=b21c9aca-59d1-4cfe-8cb2-e683b18a08cb#3 DisplayFusion Unfortunately we haven't had any luck resolving this.

You know, not always DF snaps dragging window to others.

I think that it is better to separate snapping axises. I. E. snap to one nearest window at X axis at time and one at Y axis. ]]>
