Using the trial when you use the default "Move window to next monitor" hotkey it should not resize the window when moving to the next monitor. this is not the case in one situation, when you have a window that is maximized and then move it to the next monitor using the hotkey it first resizes the window (to just about the screen size) and then move it to the next monitor and then maximizes it.

This appears fine except when you do that you just killed the history of the restore window size. so say that i have a window that i want to be 200x300 and then i maximize it, move it to the next monitor and then want to restore down the window back to that 200x300 size..... i cant unless i manually resize it back to that size. which is a pain in the ass.

i would assume that the setting "Don't resize the window" would prevent this but it does not.

to me this is a deal breaker and keeps this app from being usable. Am i missing something? can we prevent this app from stealing my restore window size when the window is maximized??

thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about this problem. :( I need to move the window the new monitor then maximize it. As a result, when you restore the window it is in the position I moved it to, not the old position.

so there is no way to move the window in a maximized state without the resize before hand?

you could even just do a check first to see if the windows state is maximized and if so then resize it to the restore size and then move the window to the next monitor, then finally maximize it. You might not want this behavior by default because it would be visible to the user more so than what you are currently doing, but provide an option to "maintain windows restore size" or something.

thanks for the response.

If I used your suggestion it still wouldn't restore to the old monitor, it would restore onto the new monitor. :( The reason I didn't do it this way was because the window animations slowed everything down and looked terrible. Thank you for the feedback though, I always appreciate suggestions to try and advance DisplayFusion.

Jon thats really what i was trying to say... i would want the window to restore to the new monitor. i understand that it would look ugly because of the added delay and because of the drastic change in window size, but this would make it more usable for me.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to talk about it and answer my questions and i completely understand why you wouldn't do the above.

thanks and good luck.

In an effort to cleanup the DisplayFusion forum, this topic is being locked and archived because it applies to an older version of DisplayFusion. If you are using the latest version of DisplayFusion and would still like some assistance, please create a new topic and I'll be happy to help you out. Thanks! :)
