Doesn't seem to be much support, answers, here, so I am not sure whether to post, but anyway...
Received an email about the release of Dexpot 1.3, downloaded it and installed it.
I chose English, but it seems to all be in German
The problem I have found in almost all virtual desktop tools (at least the ones "pretending" to be desktop tools, by hiding/showing applications) - if I say start Delphi on one desktop, and switch to another, it is problematic as to which desktop it will load onto. At least it all seems to load on one desktop, I have seen cases where you end up with bits and pieces over lots of desktops.
However, if I start a build and run in Delphi, then switch to another desktop to do something else, my applications then starts on this desktop rather than the one with Delphi on, making it almost impossible to debug, etc..
There does not seem to an Explorer run on each desktop, I have no taskbar, etc except on my main original desktop
Why do developers persist in trying to "pretend" to write a virtual desktop tool, when Windows supports "real" desktop switching? There must be some good reason as almost all (I have tried over 30) virtual desktop tools use this method.
Or am I missing something big here?
As far as I can see, the program is all but useless to me, a pity...back to "Desktop Switcher"
