I have a particular window that wont move with displayfusion so im trying to eliminate things as being the potential culprit.

window class = unchecked. close out, come back in. checked again. Same with process filename. i moved on to a simple adjustment to the window location size and low and behold, thats not saving either. ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#56 Sat, 09 May 2020 22:48:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#56 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for the update, that's helpful!

Glad to hear the profiles finally updated. These adjustments are only for going from 9.6.1 up to 9.7, after they've been adjusted DF won't touch them any more.

I can reproduce some of the Window Snapping wonkiness here, we'll see what we can do there for sure.

I can't reproduce that issue with the window snapping over the edge of the monitor though, is that only happening with a particular application?


sorry, got this as i was hitting the hay last night and then forgot about it.

so i was just about to show you a screenshot of 4 very different applications stacked that were all doing it when i realized what the heck was going on.

its the steroid-snapping! They literally shoot past the edge and try to grip onto the edge of applications on the other monitor lol.

so ultimately theres no independent issue, it just goes back to the snapping changes that were made and any potential refinements that may need to be made. ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#54 Sat, 09 May 2020 01:24:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#54 DisplayFusion Glad to hear the profiles finally updated.

Attached an image. unusable like that obviously.

apparently snagit stitches the two displays together when you capture across them. the beginning of the black is the beginning of the visible portion on my 2nd display (use black wallpaper) ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#52 Fri, 08 May 2020 23:45:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#52 DisplayFusion another thing i just noticed with the snapping now. once you snap into place, you cant move the window away period by using the titlebar. you can grab edges and resize but if you snap youre stuck lol.

you can break it if you maximize then restore but yea..

seems to be tied to "use sticky snapping"

if thats unchecked, it behaves as I indicated. If it is checked, it doesnt get stuck. ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#51 Fri, 08 May 2020 23:14:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#51 DisplayFusion Ooooof. sorry it took so long. had to eat w/ the fam.

Whelp, went back to opening a gazillion windows. opened DF and went to the windows profiles section, double clicked - and this time i didnt get the notification or creation of the new profile/resizing :(

I went and hit my hotkey just in case you guys made it seamless/silent at this point, and poof - windows all over hells half acre again :P

rolled back, reset, re updated and did it a 2nd time. That did it. I think we're there. Some minor adjustments to be made but otherwise The saga may be coming to a close. Minus this hardcore-snapping ill have to figure the best way around.

If i take a window and snap it to the side of another window and hit my WPP hotkey, it moves to where its "supposed" to be, then auto snaps back to the side of the other window it was previously snapped to lol. and nevermind trying to move a window thats on top of another window :P I think its gonna have to be hotkey or bust. its aggressive enough that hotkey to snap should be the default now imo lol

while im here, and before i forget again, is this functional only for the transition between versions, or does this now auto adjust profiles depending on your scaling setting? Just curious for the future. I'm gunning for larger monitors one day so i can do away with the high dpi scaling :P ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#50 Fri, 08 May 2020 21:21:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#50 DisplayFusion

Sort of, we basically re-did the entire Window Snapping code because it was really janky before, and it was also too easy to overshoot the snapped edge, so it will definitely feel like it's holding the window more aggressively now. We're too close to 9.7 final to make changes to it, but we will definitely get more feedback on it once 9.7 final is released, and we'll review any necessary changes for 9.7.1 :)


yea i can agree with that (the portion on overshooting). As a workaround im considering enabling the modifier for it for now.

Perhaps if theres a way to only have snapping go into effect if the window is moving under a certain velocity threshold. Unsure if that would help but in my case when i try to mvoe my explorer window which has a window on 3 sides of it, it becomes like tethered pingpong, looks awful trying to initiate its movement lol.

fortunately its you guys who get to make the calls on how best to implement things. also fortunate that the overwhelming majority of the time it seems you get it spot on :) ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#47 Fri, 08 May 2020 20:45:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#47 DisplayFusion Sort of, we basically re-did the entire Window Snapping code because it was really janky before, and it was also too easy to overshoot the snapped edge, so it will definitely feel like it's holding the window more aggressively now.

ftr i did lower the pixel range for snapping and it made it less aggressive, but seemed by almost too much at that point.

is that what changed with it? basically the range or pixel scaling/detection effected it so 10 with the new version is no longer the same as 10 with the old version? ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#45 Fri, 08 May 2020 20:31:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#45 DisplayFusion Ah yep, we did fix that bug where the profile couldn't be edited. We're posting Beta 12 in a couple of minutes to fix that as well. Please let me know how it works out after updating :) ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#44 Fri, 08 May 2020 19:30:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#44 DisplayFusion well, rolling back again. this certainly got me closer. after opening ~65 applications and having my 65% of my cpu at use at idle and 18gb of memory, it managed to update everything except explorer. I think it may have missed explorer due to having several tabs open (i use groupy).

either way, NBD i'd just update it manually. But the bug i mentioned earlier reared its head. I tried to update the explorer.exe profile to the proper size and it wouldnt take. I'd drag the crosshair to the window, it would enter the sizes, i would close/apply and try my hotkey and it would be the non updated size again.

Id open it back up, and the settings never applied or saved to the profile.

I'll venture that once thats fixed ill be able to repeat this process one last time and be good to go going forward :P ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#43 Fri, 08 May 2020 18:20:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#43 DisplayFusion That's correct, yep! If the windows are open, DisplayFusion will be able to properly measure the border size for those windows. If they're closed, DF makes a best guess based on standard window border sizes. ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#42 Fri, 08 May 2020 17:54:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#42 DisplayFusion ok, let me make sure im clear. I rolled back and restored my settings. All windows are where they should be again.

Youre saying to open up as much as i can that is in my profile before updating? at which point it'll adjust everything thats open theoretically?

as for snapping, i have it at the default (i think?) of 10. Ill try reducing it and see how it behaves and report back on that as well. ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#41 Fri, 08 May 2020 16:51:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#41 DisplayFusion Thanks for the feedback! For the Window Position Profiles, the issue there is that different apps have different border sizes, but we can't tell unless the window is open, so we don't know how much to adjust it by.

I hate to make more work for you, but if you do this, it should correctly adjust those windows too (I should have mentioned that earlier, sorry):

  • Roll back to 9.6.1 and restore your old profile.
  • Open as many of the apps in the profile as you can (especially the ones like Slack that have custom window borders.
  • Try loading the profile (this won't update the values permanently, it will adjust them on the fly), it should adjust them properly because it can measure the borders before it moves them.
  • If everything looks good, edit the profile in the settings window and let it update the values permanently.

For the Window Snapping, what's your snap distance set to? If you reduce it, is it less aggressive? ]]> RE: Bug with newest beta & wpp https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#40 Fri, 08 May 2020 11:14:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-with-newest-beta-wpp/?ID=c25b0f3f-d7c2-4205-ac22-beee3cf0ae06#40 DisplayFusion Also worth inquiring, did you guys alter something with the snapping? its on steroids now. Trying to move windows tethers them pretty strongly and they are fighting me to go back into place and snap. Seems to be related to snapping on all sides which im all for (as well as snapping on resizing! #reminder)

If it was strengthened, perhaps a setting to A) choose which sides snap and B) choose the tether strength as it is in 9.6.1 its weak enough that you can almost "miss" it, but in the new beta its so strong its janky looking if you try to move something it judders all over if other windows are next to it.

If it cant be made user adjustable, definitely lean towards the former imo.

either way, thank you for working so closely with your userbase. in all honesty, its the exception nowadays and invaluable on many levels. ]]>
