Dexpot Forum

Hi,

Is there a way to get Dexpot to switch to the desktop that contains an open application, when that application receives focus? E.g.:

1. I have my browser open on desktop 1
2. I have my email client open on desktop 2
3. I click on a URL in an email on desktop 2
4. At this point, I'd expect the URL to open in the *existing instance/window* of my browser on Desktop 1, which would then receive focus. That would cause Dexpot to switch to desktop 1.

However, instead of what I describe in 4. above, I actually get a *new* instance of my browser window opened on desktop 2 (the same desktop that's active). This is not a new instance of the application, but just a copy of the window.

Is there any way to get Dexpot to behave in the manner described in step 4? This is how the Mac multi-desktop implementation works.

Thanks.

Thank you!! Works perfectly.

For me, Move window to current desktop move desktop to the current window, is it normal ?
I really want move window to current desktop

Dexpot 1.6.0 portable, windows 7 x86

and when i use "Keep all taskbar buttons visible".
ex:
i'm on desktop 3 and i want to open Firefox (already opened on desktop 1)
I click on taskbar app(ex :firefox opened in desktop 1) then the current desktop is switched to desktop 1.
But i want stay on desktop 3...
I test all option "switch/move/do copy/do nothing" : result always switched to desktop 1...
Thanks for your interest

Yes, it's intended this way. When using "Keep all taskbar buttons visible", activating an application on another desktop will always switch desktops.
