LaunchBar Commander / Initial configuration problems with VirtuaWin
« on: June 26, 2011, 08:28 PM »
I've had difficult configuring LBC running on Dual Monitor XP SP3 with VirtuaWin supporting 4 desktops.
After tweaking the sample .mcf (including turning autohide on), the dockbar went missing, the options/config dialog was lost in bit space (not visible on the desk reported by VirtuaWin) and neither could be corrected through VirtuaWin. I was working exclusively on Desktop 2. Unchecking the always show on taskbar option didn't work. Several configurations of VW rules were tried. None corrected all problems.
It was necessary to kill the LBC process, because the systray icon was not displayed or unresponsive. The .mcf contents were lost when the process was killed or exited normally.
LBC appeared to work with some configurations.
I haven't found documentation related to configuring LBC for virtual desktops. I do frequently overlook what in retrospect seems obvious.
Any help reducing the configuration/compatibility search space would be appreciated.
