Dexpot Forum

My problem is that, whatever the desktop where I am, after something like 30 seconds (it's variable) dexpot return to first desktop
So it's impossible to work on another desktop.
my version is 1.6.2

Thanks for your help

PS: Excuse my language, I'm french

Here are a few possibilities:

• The option "When activating a window on another desktop" is set to "Switch to the respective desktop" (Settings > Plugins and Extras)
• Mouse switching is enabled (Settings > Controls > Mouse switch)
• There is an application assigned to desktop 1 with the option "Switch to desktop when activated" enabled (Assign applications)

OK, thanks for your response. I have perfomed tests with your hints and I have found that it was my program "Performance monitor" which force return to desktop 1.
This program displays graphs which make a kind of update every 30 seconds, but these little graphs are only shown on desktop 1, if I am on another desktop, the "activation" of perfomance monitor make the desktop 1 return.

BUT

in dexpot settings, I have put in "When activating a window on another desktop" the choice: do nothing, so, in theory, activation of performance monitor should be actionless. To make sure, I have tried some other possibilities like "copy windows to current screen" and so one.
I have seen to things: whatever the choice, there is always return to desktop 1 AND whatever the choice if I have a window which constantly activating itself (like install window) and if I go on other desktop, it is automaticaly copied on the current desktop

I don't know how I can keep performance monitor and dexpot in the same time

With default settings, Dexpot doesn't do any automatic desktop switching.

If you send me a log file, I can tell you which feature exactly is causing the switches.

Most likely a case of [FAQ] Some windows appearing on all desktops on Vista/7/8.

OK

I have made the logs with your dexpot version, test is
put option "switch to desktop" move to desktop 2...wait...unexpected return to desktop 1
put option "move window..." move to desktop 3...wait...unexpected return to desktop 1
put option "copy window" move to desktop 4...wait...unexpected return to desktop 1
put option "do nothing" move to desktop 2...wait...unexpected return to destop 1

Do I must keep your dexpot version or can I restore the previous?

How can I give you my logs? I don't find attachment option
So sorry I give you them here:

Try disabling the option "Keep all taskbar buttons visible" (Settings > Switching Desktops > Desktop elements).

Can you give more information on this "Performance monitor" program? Website? Manufacturer?

Thanks it works now with «keep all taskbar button visible» disable
I don't really understand what that option means

Performance monitor is a little monitoring program wich display graphs of cpu, ram, disk and network always visible

I'm really thankfull for your help

Here the address of performance monitor:

Can I keep your dexpot.exe version or should I restore previous version?

Thanks!

Sure, you can restore the original version now.
