A couple of issues..
Posted: 09.01.2012 11:57:04
Let me start off by saying that so far I love this program. It's the most full featured desktop manager for Windows by a long shot.
I have a couple of minor issues that I can't seem to fix on my own.
Under the "Switching Desktop" tab I have "Customize desktop icons" checked, and "Create a separate folder for each desktop" check in the advanced menu. When I switch desktops, most of the icons disappear, but several stay. Is there any solution for this?
Edit: Realized that some icons were being placed in C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop\ and not in C:\Users\Me\Desktop. I just moved the icons to my account's desktop folder. I think I can avoid that in the future by selecting "install for myself only" while installing a program.
My second issue is with the full screen window preview. When I hit my key combination I can see the greyed out background flash for a moment before it brings up the preview. This is slightly irritating and makes switching between desktops feel bulky. Also, it would be great to be able to drag windows around in the full screen preview, like with Ubuntu's desktop manager. Are there any plugins that can do this?
Another weird problem is with Chrome. When I select chrome on desktop 1, via pinned application or a desktop icon, it launches with my normal chrome profile. When I launch it from any other desktop, it launches without my normal profile.
Edit: Oh, seems I'm solving all my own issues now. This thread is starting to feel a bit silly. Anyways, I fixed this issue for myself by changing the "Behavior of windows on other desktops" option under the "Plugins and Extras" tab to "Do Nothing".
And one more little annoying issue; I am not able to copy anything off of one desktop and paste it onto a different desktop. If I want to move icons/files around I have to go into the Desktop 1 folder and move them from there. Is there some option I'm missing or some way to make this work more fluidly?
If anyone could help me with these issues I'd really appreciate it!
