Duplicated windows of powerpoint

Postby jerry1991 » 02.05.2012 17:26:47

I would like to give a BIG THANKS to dexpot dev team first.
Dexpot is a highly-custom, functional virtual desktop software with pretty good animations. :D

As in my work I need powerpoint. And also working with dexpot increases my performance. But I face a very annoying bug when using both powerpoint & dexpot. Here is the bug report:
1. Dexpot Version: 1.5.99, build 1928
Windows version: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1

2. Detail symptom description incl. error message
If I open a new powerpoint in active desktop, other powerpoint windows already opened in
passive desktops will be duplicated in active desktop first. Then the new powerpoint window
appears. I have to move the duplicated window to its original desktop manually every time.
Also, I don't face similar problem with other softwares & dexpot.

3. Steps to reproduce the error
Let's say I have two desktops.
i) On desktop 1, open a new powerpoint window "Presentation1".
ii) On desktop 2, open a new powerpoint window "Presentation2".
iii) Duplicated window of "Presentation1" appears on desktop 2 automatically.
The window of "Presentation1" appears on both desktop 1 & 2

4. Running applications
Only Dexpot and powerpoint.

5. If the error occurs in connection with 3rd party software: name, version, website of the manufacturer
Name: Microsoft PowerPoint
Version: 14.0.6112.5000 (32-bit)
Website of manufacturer: https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/

Thank you!

:dex:,

you're very welcome, Jerry.

Go to 'Settings > Plugins and Extras > Behaviour of windows on other desktops'. Set to "Do nothing". Click 'OK' and see if that does the trick.
Best regards (wave)

Sebastian,

Surprised at your quick response :D
This solves my problem now! Thank you again!

Also, the taste of new dexcontrol is great!
I also wonder a new (maybe?) feature.
As I always switch between two specific windows in two desktops.
The win+q task switcher is good for quick switch between desktops.
If it can act like alt+tab, the switching will be more convenient! :mrgreen:
If the setting can be set like alt+tab, plz tell me.

Jerry
