We will look into pre-loading it right on startup for the next version though. If the memory usage isn't much higher, then we'll likely go ahead with that. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#35 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 22:21:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#35 DisplayFusion So will you guys eventually fix that initial lag from the cache? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#34 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 00:14:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#34 DisplayFusion Excellent, glad to hear that sorted it out! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#33 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 02:17:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#33 DisplayFusion You are correct sir, first time was delayed, but all the other times after that were immediate! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#32 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 16:46:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#32 DisplayFusion Would you be able to try updating to 8.1.1 (https://www.displayfusion.com/Download) and test this out again? We're now caching the sound file after it's played the first time, so the first time may be delayed, but subsequent times should be fast. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#31 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 03:42:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#31 DisplayFusion alright sounds good. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#30 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:16:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#30 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks!

I see the buttons popping up and disappearing right when I hit my hotkey but the sound follows after like 6 seconds. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#28 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 19:53:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#28 DisplayFusion Ok, and when you run the Toggle TitleBar Buttons hotkey, do the buttons hide/unhide right away? I'm wondering if the function is running right away, and it's just the sound effect that's delayed. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#27 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:27:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#27 DisplayFusion Ctrl + Win + X works right away. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#26 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 15:59:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#26 DisplayFusion One more question, if you run a function that doesn't play a sound, like Ctrl + Win + X on a window (should move it to the next monitor), does it work right away, or is it delayed as well? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#25 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:40:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#25 DisplayFusion alright sounds good. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#24 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 18:20:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#24 DisplayFusion Thanks!

If it's still present in 8.1 Beta 2, could you send over a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
• Restart DisplayFusion
• Run a function and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

It's strange that the troubleshooting info is saying the hooks aren't running, when they clearly are. If you drag a window around, do the Titlebar Buttons (Move Window to Next Monitor, etc) lag behind the window, or do they stay pretty much glued to it? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#13 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 03:11:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-prevent-window-activation/?ID=c8cb7972-7bc2-4033-8df6-6d0474a9348e#13 DisplayFusion Seems to be a bit faster after I've tried a reboot and activated the "toggle titlebar buttons". The sound takes roughly 4 seconds now instead of the 9 seconds. Still not immediate like it used to be though.
Here's my troubleshoot now: ]]>
