MMEX Discussion Forum

Hi. I have 4 desktop (multiple) monitors. Prior to version 1.5.0, I have had no problems with MMEX staying on the monitor no. 4 for next session after exiting. But now I am on 1.5.0 version, after exiting MMEX on the monitor No. 4, it won't save its monitor display settings and so upon next opening MMEX session, it will just open on the monitor no. 1 every time, it is something I do not want. (*Primary monitor is no.2). I want it to open on the monitor no.4 every time. Thanks Chris.

Try to delete mmexini.db3 file or define new one

After few attempts, I managed to open MMEX on the desired monitor no.4. The problem also applies to splash screen (Show App Start Dialog) which persistently opens on the monitor no.1 so I had to disable Show App Start Dialog temporarily. Renamed the mmexini.db3. Ran the MMEX without the splash screen and it still opens on the monitor no.1 and I just moved the MMEX main window to monitor no.4 and exit (via file menu, not the [X] at the top right corner) and I ran it again and it opens without the splash screen on monitor no.4 and so it is something I wanted to see. Then I re-enabled "Show App Start Dialog" and exit via file menu again. And ran MMEX again, and the splash screen opens on monitor no.4 - and clicked on Open Last Opened Database or Open Existing Database and it opens on monitor no.4. so that is something what I wanted to see. but however for some reason if I clicked the MMEX icon from the pinned icon on the taskbar (rather than the icon on the desktop), it still opens on the monitor no.1, oh no ugh! but as again I repeated all above steps; I moved it (both the splash screen and the main window) to monitor no.4 and exit via the file menu. And ran MMEX again via the pinned icon taskbar and it opens on monitor no.4.

It is very strange. By the way I have applied the "colourful" scheme for the viewing options as default.

Chris.

To help investigate this could you please specify:

The resolution and arrangement of each display, e.g.

1 - 1920x1080
2 - 1920x1080
3 - 1920x1080
4 - 1920x1080

Arrangement with indication of which is the 'primary' (*) display, something like

1 2
3* 4 if stacked

or

1 2* 3 4 if arranged on a desk

Can you also perform the following for each display

1. Open MMEX
2. Move it to a display (if not already there)
3. Close MMEX
4. Reopen MMEX
5. Record which display it now opened on.

E.g.
Display 1 - Reopened on Display 1
Display 2 - Reopened on Display 2
Display 3 - Reopened on Display 3
Display 4 - Reopened on Display 1

Windows main screen = 2
open 2, move to 1, closed, will open on 2.
open 2, move to 3, closed, will open on 2.
.
With version 1.3.5 MMEX is opened on this screen where I closed it.
.

Hmm, odd. Multiple screen geometries get a bit messy. I might need to add a bit of debug reporting to the app to capture the reported setups in order to further progress this. Will see what I can do, then will probably revert back to you to re-test once I get this done.

@whall3y
From my point of view the question is not the different resolutions of the screens, but why did it work until MMEX version 1.3.5, there must have been something changed in the software.

by the way, if I go back to 1.3.5, it works fine.

It was changed as a result of:

https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/2826
https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/2694
https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/2634

It seems we still have some multi-monitor issues.

I have tested again.
1) MMEX full screen always opens on main screen.
2) MMEX partial image is always opened at the previously closed location.

Maybe this helps.

Good observation.... will look into that.

Yes that is what I have just observed. Full Screen (maximised) will default to my main display "identified as no.1" after exiting. If not maximised, it will stay its last position (display).

I have this monitor arrangement...

There is a test version that fixes this bug, who wants can test with it.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/moneyma ... /artifacts

Test results are welcome.

Have installed and tested it (Alpha release)

Thank you Renato!
It works perfectly so I look forward to stable release soon.
