:dex:

I've tried the following with both Dexpot 1.5.16 Build 1853 and 1.6 Beta 1928 on Windows 7:

  1. Start Notepad on desktop 1
  2. Open "Desktop Windows"
  3. Right-click on the entry for the Notepad window and select "Close > On this desktop"
  4. Go to "Hidden"
  5. Right-click notepad in the list of hidden windows and select "Show on current desktop"
Result: the Notepad window appears on the current desktop as expected.

My situation is a little bit different.

I start program that open several windows. Some windows are open on actual desktop, some are hidden.
In build 1776 i can show the hidden windows with the function "Desktop Windows" - "Hidden" - (right click on name of title) - "Show on current desktop".
With later build that 1766 this function is not working.

What's the program? What happens when you try the test case from my last post?

Your test case works perfectly in b1776.

The propgram is NinjaTrader. The program uses functionality _workspaces_. Workspace is saved status of desktop windows. All workspaces are running in background, but only windows of active workspace are shown (of cource). All windows from other workspaces are "hiden".
In b1776 I can show the hiden windows in dexpot desktop that I want.

Thank for help.

Well, obviously. But does it work with the current version where you have the problem with NinjaTrader?
