It works!

My login box and the screen after the login box both stay on the right monitor (using All Windows in Location settings).

Thank you so much! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#14 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:01:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#14 DisplayFusion We've fixed up a bunch more Window Location stuff in DisplayFusion 3.5 Beta 1, available at the link below:

http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Please let me know how it goes when you get a chance to try it out.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#13 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:18:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#13 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for the follow-up. I apologize for the issues, we had to make some changes to the Window Location stuff to make it work better with other applications, but it may still need some tweaking. We'll look into it some more and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#12 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:31:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#12 DisplayFusion I'm using 3.4.1. Doesn't look like that fixed it.

The program remembers it's last window state. So if it was maximized when you closed the program, it will open maximized.

It appears the problem is still happening. It works if the window is not maximized.

I attached another log file if that helps. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#11 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:41:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#11 DisplayFusion Just a quick follow-up on this. It should be all fixed up in 3.4.1 final, which can be downloaded here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/

I'll let you know as soon as there's a new version to test.

I'm not sure I would call it fixed though. A window should still move even when maximized. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#2 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:36:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774#2 DisplayFusion No worries, thanks for following up! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:24:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-broke-in-beta-12/?ID=bbb7854e-90e9-49dc-9fc7-7caa898d4774 DisplayFusion Hello,

First, thank you for such a wonderful product! I've been using it for quite a while at home and work.

I am having an issue with the Window Location feature.

I have 2 monitors (both at 1680x1050 resolution). What I want is for the application to always start on monitor 2. When I start the application it shows a login dialog on monitor 1 (it did that before, which is fine). As soon as I login, the main window use to pop up and move to monitor 2. It is currently staying on monitor 1.

I saw the note about the monitor numbers changing. I deleted my old Windows Location entry and created a new one so the monitor now says 2.

The application is an old VB6 application (Called TrackerTrailer.exe). I can provide any details if you want. (I have the source code for the app, but I cannot give it out)

I attached the relevant log entries.

Using Windows 7 Enterprise (64bit) SP1. I do have some group policies in effect but it shouldn't matter for window positioning.

Thank you!

Update: Well, 2 seconds after I posted, I found a work around. Seems that if the application comes up maximized it doesn't move to the second monitor. I unmaximized the application window. Moved it to the second monitor and sized the window to what I wanted. Then I closed the application and opened it again and it moved to the second window. As long as I don't have the window maximized it seems to work. ]]>
