@bumbeen Does this issue still persist in version 2.1.0-beta.3? You can switch to that release by setting your update channel in the app to Beta, and then restarting MaxTo twice.

There was a bug in the virtual desktop library we used for version 2.0.1, which could result in this error.

[bumbeen]

Yes this is on 2.1.0-beta.3. REcipe did not work in stable version either. Guessing something with my PC.

Here is the recipe I tried just now (on 2.1.0-beta.3):

    {
      "name": "Test",
      "hotkey": null,
      "triggers": [
        {
          "type": "keyboard:hotkey",
          "Hotkey": "Alt+Windows+T"
        }
      ],
      "ingredients": [
        {
          "command": "window:move",
          "parameters": {
            "virtualdesktop": "1",
            "region": "center",
            "monitor": "$primary"
          }
        }
      ]
    }

Note that the virtual desktop number is "off by one", i.e. the first virtual desktop is numbered 0. I will be fixing that as well.

This recipe works on my machine.

There was a bug in 2.0.1 which produced the exact error message you are providing, but we've since fixed that (sorry I missed that you were running 2.1.0-beta.3 initially).

It could be a versioning issue with your version of Windows. Do you have the option of upgrading Windows to e.g. 2004?

[vegardlarsen]

I've fixed two separate issues that I discovered as part of this:

• virtual desktop numbers now start at 1, instead of 0
• the editor for the virtual desktop number didn't always store the underlying number properly
