Hello,

Ever since upgrading to 10.1 Beta 4, when I click on the shortcut to a PDF file that I have pinned to my secondary taskbar, it now tries to open the application as a background process and never opens the file. Acrobat is then frozen from opening any other files through any other means until I force-close the applciation, then it will work fine again until I click on one of the shortcuts on my taskbar.

This only seems to happen with PDF files. I've tried with DWG and JPG files and they work fine.

I'm not sure what to do to fix this. Please help.

Chris

Can you right click the pinned item and select "Edit this pinned Item", and then send me a screenshot of the window that appears?

Could you send over a screenshot of the "Edit" window on the one you're trying to open?

That is the screenshot of the edit window. I just moved it onto my main monitor to take the screenshot since the monitor it opens on is vertical and everything gets cutoff.

No becuase it's a shortcut to a file directly not to the executable. It was working fine up until the last update.

Ah gotcha, we did make some changes in Beta 4 to Adobe but I can't seem to reproduce this on my end. Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

FYI...I just replicated the error by pinning a PDF file to monitor 3, so it's not just the vertical monitor that has the issue.

Do you have Adobe set as your default reader for PDF files in Windows? What version of Adobe are you running as well?

Yes it is the default. As I said, this was working just fine up until a recent update.

Also, the shortcuts work just fine if Acrobat is already running. The error occurs when Acrobat isn't running and I click on the shortcuts.

If you pin the Adobe.exe directly, does that launch fine?

No it doesn't run. Here's the parameters the shortcut used when I pinned it.

Interesting, if you wipe the command line argument box and save that, does it launch correctly?

Thanks for confirming, it might be doing something similar when a file is pinned directly. We'll take a look into this and let you know if we have anything further on it going forward.

You can roll back to beta 3 if you would like with this link: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Download/?Package=displayfusion&Beta=1&Log=0

That link you sent me was for Beta 4, but reinstalling seems to have fixed it. How odd.

Strange I still can't seem to reproduce it here. Could you send me an updated copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

Here you are. I'm not sure what the file shows, but I tried opening the PDF link on the toolbar (which didn't work) and then was able to open the OneNote link.

Did it just start happening after updating to 10.1.1?

Can you roll back to 10.0 and see if that fixes it? You can grab the download link on this page: https://www.displayfusion.com/OldVersion/

Could you send me another debug log from 10.1.1? Here are the steps again:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply

Could you send over a log from the version that's broken? I believe that's 10.1.1

That log doesn't show any lines from Adobe launching, could you try sending another?
