Desktop Assignment
Posted: 22.06.2012 11:26:51
Using Dexpot 1.5.99 .2003 on win 7 (x64) and I had a couple more questions, this time regarding desktop assignment. Everything else seems to work great, but I was wondering about the following:
1) Is there any way of ensuring that an application opens on the desktop it was started from ? For example, I open an application on Desktop 1. The application takes a little while to open, say 15 seconds. I move to Desktop 2 whilst its opening. The application opens on Desktop 2 and Desktop 1. The new Desktop Assignment feature has a setting to assign an application to where it was started from. I assumed that this would keep the application on the desktop it was started from even if I moved to another desktop before the application had time to open. But this doesn't seem to be the case. Is there any way of doing what I want ? i.e. only have the application open on the desktop it was started from ?
2) I have an application which I run in desktop 1. This application produces a popup after a variable length of time. I move to desktop 2 and open another instance of the same application. Again, this instance of the application produces a popup after a variable length of time. I remain on desktop 2. The popup from the instance of the application running on desktop 1 appears on desktop 2. I'd prefer that the popup for the instance of the application running on desktop 1 remains on desktop 1. i.e. the popup remains on the same desktop as the instance of the application that produces it. Is there any way of doing this or will popups always occur on the current desktop ?
Hope that makes sense.....
Thanks !
