Issue with /GetDesktop:<n|s> in VirtualDesktop11Insider.cs #43

Closed EGruwez closed 2 years ago

EGruwez commented 2 years ago

I used the getdesktop to move the active window to another desktop as such: VirtualDesktop11Insider.cs.exe /getdesktop:desktopname | VirtualDesktop11Insider.cs.exe /moveactivewindow It mover the active window always to desktop nr 0. In other words getdesktop passes 0 in the pipe instead of the desktop number. What goes wrong? or what do i do wrong. Thanks

Hello @EGruwez,

the solution is very easy: Virtualdesktop simply does not read the shell pipeline (but outputs to it), it only hands the value to the next parameter. The solution for your issue is to use:

VirtualDesktop11Insider.cs.exe /getdesktop:desktopname /moveactivewindow

Greetings
