Win7-64 and DF v4.3.
I have a Dell Lattitude E6420 with support for upto 4 displays (2 each Intel IGP and nVidia Quadro). I use 3 external monitors and (sometimes) the laptop's build in screen. When the laptop is open windows numbers it's screen as 1 and the external displays as 2, 4, 3 (left to right as arranged on my desk), with the laptop to the right of the 3rd monitor. When i close the laptop it's screen goes away from windows options and my external monitors are renumbered as 1, 3, 2. When this happens Display Fusion uses the changed numbers to create a new multi-monitor wallpaper image based on monitor number not what the actual monitors are.
ex
initial state with laptop open
monitors numbers (left to right): 2, 4, 3 ,1
Displayed images (left to right): A, B, C, D
current behavior when laptop is closed
monitor numbers: 1, 3, 2
Displayed images: D, C, A (images remain mapped to monitor number, not to actual monitors)
What I expected (and would like to see happen) when laptop is closed
monitor numbers: 1, 3, 2
Displayed images: A, B, C (images remain mapped to physical monitors even though windows has renumbered them)

I'm assuming that "Fix my wallpaper without prompting" is the autofix setting you're referring to.
With that assumption I tried what you suggested unsuccessfully. If I was using manually assigned monitor images I think what your suggestion is would have worked; but I'm using the option to select random images from a folder. As a result when the profile switches I get a different set of random images loaded across my monitors.
Ok, but once the new profile loads, and new random images a chosen, does the wallpaper not look as expected? Or is the issue just that you don't want it to load new random images when the profile changes?
Thanks!
Ah ok, quick question: When the monitor IDs change, do they only change in DisplayFusion, or do they also change in the Windows Screen Resolution settings?
