Workspaces / Desktop extender software that works with Scope

Post by darkrezin »

Hi,

Does anyone use a desktop extender that works with Scope windows? I'm using my Scope machine with a relatively small monitor and rather than having to open/close windows all the time, I'd like to keep various windows for devices open in different 'workspaces' and switch to them when needed. I should add I'm still using Windows XP and upgrading to Windows7 etc is not an option for this box. I tried something called sDesk:

..but Scope always puts device windows back in the main desktop when it loads a project.

So does anyone use something like this with Scope where it puts windows back where you left them when you reopen a project?

if it's only for arranging scope devices, you should try the built in screensets bookmarks.
First arrange your scope windows, then lock the preset, then add a new one, arrange windows, lock the presets and so on.

t_tangent :) thanks for the suggestion, but it's not workable unfortunately (can't seem to drag windows between workspaces).

djmicron - that's an interesting idea, I had forgotten about that feature. Will try it out, thanks!

Darkrezin, look that video inside Windowspager's homepage: http://windowspager.sourceforge.net/
it's possible to drag everything everywhere :)
4PC + Scope 5.0 + no more Xite + 2xScope Pro + 6xPulsarII + 2xLunaII + SDK + a lot of devices (Flexor III & Solaris 4.1 etc.) + Plugiator.
