Bug: Move from taskbar not available

#1 Post by chunk » 16.12.2008, 22:13

When right-clicking on Freecommander in the taskbar "Move" is not available.

Tested on Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 and Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Freecommander versions tested were 2008.06c and 2008.06b.

This is a big deal for me as i often go from multi-monitor to single monitor (remote desktop) and I cant get freecommander back to the single monitor without it.

BTW, Great product otherwise!

Well, I think this function is available only from the window's system menu, not from the taskbar - and this is related to any program, not only for FC. At least for XP SP2.

Thanks for the response. I have not seen another application where MOVE ans SIZE are not available. The options are certainly greyed out if the application in Maximized or minimized, but with FreeCommander the menu items do not exist.

Thanks,
Chunk

Hi Chunk,

excuse me, if the right commands are not correct in english, because I have a german windows Vista.

Try this first with a visible window:
You can activate the window-context-menu with "ALT & space".
Then (in German) with "w" (=wiederherstellen) (I don't know in english) you switch a maximized window to a smaller one.
Again "ALT & space" and "v" (=verschieben) (I think m=move in english) and now move the window with the cursor-left or right to your first monitor.

If you've tried out with a visible window, you can use it blind with the invisible window on the second monitor.

If You're familar with german you can read this at: http://www.supernature-forum.de/555268-post2.html

Ralf
