noswitch:true causes error #86

Closed Rriggs95 closed 3 years ago

Rriggs95 commented 3 years ago

I am currently running Windows 10 Version 10.0.19042.867 and I installed vdesk using the msi installer of the 1.3 (I think?) version from the releases page.

When I run vdesk with the noswitch:true option I get the following error:

Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))

The launched program then proceeds to open on the currently active desktop, regardless of which desktop I picked with on: n. From what I can tell, and some experimenting I did, I don't have any other issues with vdesk it works fine other than this one error. Sorry if this is an already active issue.

Ok my bad, after some extra experimenting this seems to be an issue specific to the alacritty terminal. Since it's not a general vdesk issue I will close this now

I got this message too:

Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))

what did I do wrong?

edit: it seems, the program (aida64) takes too long to full launch, so I can not use noswitch for it.

my solution is: vdesk on:2 run:"aida64.exe" timeout 8 vdesk on:1 run:"cmd.exe" /k exit
