Greetings;

Some programs and/or their dialog boxes popup on the entire center of my dual monitors (3840 wide), centered right where the bezels come together. I didn't know if there was anything you guys could do to correct, possibly add a new setting?

Here is the site for a free offending program that I use to merge PDF's. http://www.kvisoft.com/pdf-merger/

I'm fairly sure this is a coding issue on the software developers end, but I thought I'd ask.

Yeah, they're likely specifying that the dialogs always open in the centre of the monitor. You can probably workaround this by doing the following:
  • Move the dialog box to where you would like it to open.
  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click Add.
  • Use the target icon at the bottom to get the dialog's position and size.
  • Change the Window Width and Height drop-downs back to "Don't change..."
  • Give the Function a name and click OK.
  • On the Window Location tab, add a new rule for the offending application, and choose "Run Function..." from the Window Size drop-down, and choose your new custom Function from the Function drop-down. Also make sure to choose "All Windows" under the Window Location Mode drop-down.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your quick response.

However, I performed the above without issue. But, little green dot showing activation, wont stay. I hit apply, save, OK, and it won't stay. Close & restart DF, reboot, won't stay.

Therefore, I can't make the commands outlined above run.

Strange! Can you post a screenshot of the Window Location tab as well?

Thanks! I was actually able to reproduce this here as well. It looks like it's just a bug in the Settings window causing it not to display the green dot next to the Function. However, the Window Location rule should still work correctly. Does it not?

No, it seems to have no effect at all.

All my other window location customizations work fine.

You could try the program I noted in my first post. It may just be that program.

Ok, I'll definitely install that app and test it out. I'll keep you posted!

Ok, it definitely looks like it's an issue with that application. Seems like they're just ignoring the commands to move the windows. I'll put this on our list to see if there's any way we can fix it from our end.

Thanks!

Just a quick update: DisplayFusion 5.1 Beta 3 (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) is now available, and the issue of the green Window Location dot in the Functions list disappearing is all fixed up :)

We're still investigating the PDF Merger issue.

Thanks!

We've released DisplayFusion 5.1 Beta 16 (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/), and PDF Merger should now work with Window Location rules.

Thanks!
