Dexpot beta 1.5.99, build 2075: icons scrambled when started

Postby selden » 28.06.2012 12:51:37

The update from the previous release to 2075 went smoothly.
Dexpot had been shut down several days previouly.
When Dexpot started immediately after the update, the locations of the icons on Desktop #1 were scrambled.

When I invoked Settings --> Load profile to load the most recently saved profile
the icons were rearranged to the correct layout.

It'd be nice if the icons were put in the correct locations when Dexpot starts.

Define "scrambled".

Some of the icons' positions on Desktop #1 were not what they should have been:
- They were not in the positions they had when I previously exited from Dexpot.
- They were not in the positions recorded in the most recent profile than I had saved.
- They were not in the positions they had when Dexpot was not running.

I do not have "Save profile on exit" checked in the Setup General options page.
I have "Customize desktop icons" checked on the Switching Desktops page, Desktop elements tab.
I have "Create a separate folder for each desktop" checked in the Advanced popup menu of the Switching Desktops page, Desktop elements tab.
"Use original Windows desktop folder as Desktop 1" is also checked.

Sorry: the log file was not enabled.

This is under Windows 7 Pro x64.

I have now carefully arranged the icons of Desktop #1 to match their positions when Dexpot is not running and have saved a new profile. When I exited and restarted Dexpot just now, their positions were preserved. I'll let you know if it happens again.
