Website | Download v1.0.8 - 2011-10-03 + Added Unicode compatibility for Windows XP and later. You may need to delete your config.ini file if the prefix and suffix don't appear to be saving properly. * Changed the copy-to-clipboard method to better handle various text editors. ! The \n and \r tokens weren't working properly in all cases.

I'm still interested in an application that might work "behind th scenes" to do this. I'll let you know if I come across anything.

Part of the issue here is that I don't think any of us coders have a tablet to work/test with. That makes it very difficult to provide you with a solution.

As promised:

It's now 105° F with light snow showers where I live. =]

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone Know of a Multi-Monitor Simulator for Software Testing?

« Last post by skwire on September 27, 2011, 04:25 PM »

I got it to work as well in VirtualBox. I thought I had the Guest Additions installed but I double-checked and they were not. Once I installed them for the XP guest OS, it worked as expected. I also much prefer VirtualBox's way of handling each virtual monitor in a separate window. Much easier to arrange and deal with.

Me too. Did you notice how they clearly had no intent of removing the bundle, but instead were trying to find out ways to keep it?
-db90h (September 27, 2011, 09:01 AM)

Yep. That email was what should have been sent out to everybody, as a courtesy, before they went ahead and wrapped everything without consent. FWIW, I didn't receive any sort of reply after I sent my scathing one.

« Last post by skwire on September 27, 2011, 11:05 AM »

Just to reiterate:

VirtualBox: I was not able to get VirtualBox working (host: XP/SP3/32-bit, guest: XP/SP3/32-bit). I configured extra monitors as per the help file but only got black screens for the extra virtual monitors. Going into the Display Properties in the guest OS did not show any sign that multiple monitors were present or detected. Tested with between two and four monitors along with 2D and 3D options enabled and disabled.

VMWare: I was able to get this working with up to eight virtual monitors (host: XP/SP3/32-bit, guest: Win7/32-bit). After setting it up for multiple virtual monitors, I did have to go into the Screen Resolution applet under Windows 7, add the new monitors, and then extend them as part of the desktop. Typical stuff, really, when dealing with multiple real monitors. It worked a treat, too. I was even able to identify a multi-monitor related bug in one of my programs and fix it. Very very cool.

Also, VirtualBox seems to handle each virtual monitor in its own separate window while VMWare keeps them all within one, potentially huge, window. Anybody want screenshots of what I'm talking about?

They also recently sent out a survey to all vendors, asking their opinions on this toolbar bundle. The one thing that was clear was that they have no plans to remove it completely.

I received this email survey and sent back a rather scathing reply.

If that's all you want to do (sort by width greater than 1024), it might be easier for me to quickly write you a new commandline program to do only that. Your thoughts?
