Dexpot Forum

I'd been using an earlier version with great success.

Upgrading to 1.5.3 1178 , I'm having a problem with Dexpot placing programs on Desk 2, even though they are launched from desk 1. I see this problem on 3 or 4 different apps , so its not program specific.

If I close Dexpot and reopen it, it assigns everything to desk 1 as it should.

Running Windows 7 X64. Dexpot set to run auto, with administrator

What would be causing this?

only if you activate them on the other desktop?

I load the apps from desktop 1. They then appear on their own on desktop 2.

In the case of Quotetracker , only a few of the windows appear on desk 2.

This was not happening with the earlier version of Dexpot.

Something very odd, this only seems to happen after the machine is freshly rebooted. Testing it now, and I don't see the problem . Will try a reboot again and see if it happens.

this isn't true.

Really appreciate your tests and feedback.

Not sure what you mean about Quotetracker, after adding the stocks.exe=move line to the ini file, I had no problems with it (in previous versions of dexpot). No lost windows, and stayed on desk 1.

Back to this issue. I just rebooted and this time I do NOT see the problem . I did add a rule to move all stocks.exe to desk 1 , and that might have helped.

I saw this strange desk 2 problem a few times since installing the latest version, so I don't think it was random, but at this time I can't be sure of what the exact issue is.

I'll follow up if it happens again.

it's random. Some move, some don't. The =move statement helps a bit but doesn't entirely fix the issue.

Truely magical, but that's what I've experienced while reproducing the issue.
