You can download it here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

We're still looking into the other issues.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#9 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:23:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#9 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks Chris! I'll test this out and add it to our list. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#8 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 20:06:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#8 DisplayFusion I used IrfanView to try it. If I dropped a picture on the IrfanView shortcut, and then pinned the program to the taskbar, it did not use the command line parameters to create the pinned shortcut even though the program was launched with and had command line parameters visible in the taskbar. However, if I would edit the actual shortcut file and add parameters (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "C:\picture.jpg") in to open a picture, pinning it to the taskbar used the parameters in the shortcut.

Not many people know this, but items pinned to the taskbar are actually shortcuts stored in "C:\Users\________\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar". My theory is that Windows looks to see how the program was launched, and if it was a shortcut, it copies it into that folder, which would include the command line parameters. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#7 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:49:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#7 DisplayFusion Would you be able to provide an example of one of the programs and the command line parameters you're using? I've noticed that a lot of programs end up showing command line parameters, even if they were just launched normally (i.e. Chrome), so I need to find out if we can somehow detect when the command line parameters should and should not be saved.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#6 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:01:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#6 DisplayFusion Ok, interesting! I'll investigate the pinned item command line stuff further and I'll add it to our list as needed.

Thanks Chris! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#5 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:44:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#5 DisplayFusion Yes, the command-line parameters do show. However, if you pin something to the Windows taskbar, it doesn't save the parameters unless the program is launched from a shortcut, Win+R, or command prompt containing those parameters. That way if you open a picture, and pin the viewer to the taskbar, the pinned shortcut doesn't always launch the viewer with that picture; but if you create a shortcut with parameters to open the image, pinning it to the taskbar will copy the command line parameters, so the program will open with the image loaded. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#4 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:56:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e#4 DisplayFusion Ok, I confirmed the first issue and added it to our list.

Question regarding the second issue: If you add the Command Line column in the Windows Task Manager, does the command line show for the process that you launched with the command line parameters?

Regarding the pinning/unpinning of items within the Jump Lists: It's on our list, so I've added your info to it

I'll check into both of these issues early next week. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:09:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-items-in-taskbar-bugs/?ID=b74ee64d-4c20-4bbd-8975-ff659e3b2b0e DisplayFusion I can't unpin a program pinned to the DF taskbar if the shortcuts are set to anything other than combined (i.e. left, auto, etc.) The only way to remove it is to use the shortcut editor. Also, if a program is pinned that is started with command-line parameters, they are not automatically added. ]]>
