This great software has been modified

• The timer for automatic periodic snapshots has been removed
• Program argument for starting application with 2nd icon: WindowsLayoutSnapshot.exe /2
• Added feature: Remove snapshots manually by pressing Shift and clicking on snapshot

The periodic snapshot causes flickering virtual desktops and switch to the virtual desktop where the unity mode vmware applications are located. So before detaching the laptop from the dockingstation, I run manually the snapshot.

Usage example

I am using my Windows 10 laptop in three enviroments:

• At Home: Laptop attached to dockingstation which is connected to six FullHD monitors.
• At Office 1: Laptop attached to dockingstation which is connected to three FullHD monitors.
• At Office 2: Laptop attached to dockingstation which is connected to two 4k monitors.
• In the train: Laptop-only

I start four instances of WindowsLayoutSnapshot with these arguments (Desktop shortcuts).

• WindowsLayoutSnapshot.exe
• WindowsLayoutSnapshot.exe /2
• WindowsLayoutSnapshot.exe /3
• WindowsLayoutSnapshot.exe /4

Each instance has different icon in the systemtray with the number given in the startup arguments. Now, depending on the location (At Home or Office) I can save or restore the suitable layout. I am saving manually the layout before undocking the laptop without timer.

ToDos/Features to Add

• The VirtualDesktop number of each window should be stored&restored, too After reattaching to a dockingstation, some applications (e.g. Chrome) do not stay in their assigned virtual desktop. Those windows have to be manually moved back to the virtual desktop. See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31801402/api-for-windows-10-virtual-desktops
