Different region setting for virtual desktop dont work

[Eugene847]

When I try to set different region on the virtual desktop as for the 1st desktop It dont work.
Example:
1st desktop should have two regions with 40%/60% horicontal split.
2nd desktop (virtual) should have three regions with other splits of each region.

I use only one physical monitor.
In the settings > monitor > virtual desktops the setting "use different regions on any virtual desktops" (translate from my native speech into english) is checked. I also un-checked and make the test.
I also restarted the systems several times but the situation keep the same.

Can you please attach your log files? %LocalAppData%\MaxTo

[Eugene847]

Hi, what is the name of the log files, in the folder I can not find *.log file or something what looked like a log file.
Thanks for help

[vegardlarsen]

I apologize. I meant to type %AppData%\MaxTo. Sorry about that. :)

Hi, the log contains some data, I dont want to share (business email, filenames i.e.). I try to create a new log and come back

[gschrisstadler]

I am able to share my log file, maybe that will help, since I have the same problem. I am not sure if it was the update to Windows 10 20H2 or the update to MaxTo 2.1, since I did both the same day.

@gsrodrigostadler Unfortunately, the log file does not contain any related messages.

I get suspicious when you've had a Windows Update the same day, however. Could you do a file system search inside %LocalAppData%\Packages for "MaxTo" or "DigitalCreations" or see if you come up with any hits? (This was the case with issue #415, where Windows created wrong "copies" of our DLLs, and it happened after a Windows update)

[gschrisstadler]

@vegardlarsen I found only the following file:
AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\AppIconCache\100\com_squirrel_MaxTo_MaxTo_Core
found no file for DigitalCreations.

I think I have a solution to this issue. It involves downloading and placing these two files inside the MaxTo install directory %LocalAppData%\MaxTo\app-2.1.5. Files are here.

These were files we don't ship with MaxTo, because they previously weren't necessary. I guess that changed at some point.

After placing those files, delete the folder in %LocalAppData%\grabacr.net (if it exists)? It should force the virtual desktop library to regenerate the files correctly.

Then start MaxTo to see if it works and report back here.

Dears,
for me it works now with the new dll files vegardlarsen provide.
Thanks for the great support.

best regards

[vegardlarsen]

@Eugene847 Great. Then this will be the official workaround for now, until we can get a new version out which fixes the problem. I've made quite a bit of progress replacing the library that causes this issue in the last few days; with the downside that we may not support older versions of Windows than Windows 10 version 1709. I am thinking that this change will be in 2.2 and not a patch release for 2.1; as it is a bigger and riskier change.

I may at some point ask for the people in this thread to try out a preview build of that release so we can be sure that it works.

Hi, same bug here.
MaxTo 2.1.5 installed today, latest Windows 10 update (20H2 19042.630). The workaround with the 2 DLLs works fine.
