Restoring application positions
DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you
reconnect your PC to the monitor(s). You can quickly access this feature by right-
clicking on DDM icon in the notification tray.
If you choose “Auto-restore window layout”, your application windows' positions
are tracked and remembered by DDM. DDM automatically puts the application
windows into their original positions when you reconnect your PC to your
monitor(s).
To go back to a favorite layout, first select “Save current window layout” and
then “Restore saved window layout”.
You may use monitors with different models or res
olutions in your daily routine, and
apply different window layouts on them. DDM is able to know the monitor you have
reconnected and restore application positions accordingly.
In case you need to replace a monitor in a
monitor matrix configuration, you can
save the window layout before replacement and restore the layout after a new
monitor is installed.
NOTE: You should keep your applications running in order to benefit
from this feature. DDM doesn't launch applications.
