[Suggestion] Restart Button

Is it possible to have a restart DisplayFusion button? I change many things that me to restart DP and think it would be much easier if there was a button to do this rather than close down the app then restart it through my Start Panel.

It's been suggested in the past, so I've added your vote to the feature request

In the meantime, you can actually shutdown DisplayFusion using DisplayFusionCommand.exe, so if you wanted you could use something like this in a batch file to automate the shutdown and restart of DisplayFusion. It's not totally ideal, but should save you a few clicks with the mouse

Code
Copy
Select All

REM Close DisplayFusion
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -closeall

REM Start DisplayFusion back up
start /b "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.exe"

I found it needed a timeout between the DisplayFusionCommand.exe -closeall and the 2nd DisplayFusionCommand.exe in order for the shutdown to complete before starting a new instance.

I need this because the thumbnails on chrome on the secondary monitor get screwed up and restarting DF fixes it.

Hello,

We've released a new beta that adds this feature to the tray icon menu, along with the troubleshooting tab in the Settings window. You can grab the beta here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Thanks!

Thanks for the update Owen. Unfortunately I have moved on from DF as things that other users think are normal seem to take an age to implement, for example this was requested 12 years ago.
As I said, thanks for the heads up and best wishes.
