We're very excited to announce that DisplayFusion 9.4 Beta 4 is now available for download! This beta fixes a couple of wallpaper provider API issues, and adjusts the titlebar button positions for some apps that were conflicting.

Important Notes!

• The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab, it might be very slow to open due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan
• Known Issue: Desktop Wallpaper doesn't recognize Monitor Splits (will be fixed for Beta 5)

DisplayFusion 9.4 Beta 4 Highlights

• Window Snapping is now disabled for Chrome because of Chrome's hook blocks
• Windows minimized to tray will no longer have an extra taskbar button
• SmugMug and Vladstudio wallpaper provider fixes
• Wallpaper fixes when Oculus Rift Software is running

Updating DisplayFusion

We encourage everyone to update to this new version today to take advantage of these improvements. If you've already purchased DisplayFusion, it's a lifetime license, so you can upgrade to this version at no cost! If you would like to see a complete list of all the changes, please visit the DisplayFusion Beta Change Log.

Universal app windows don't run in separate processes the way that regular desktop apps do. They have a background process for the app, and the windows themselves run in a container process, ApplicationFrameHost.exe. Because of this, setting up Trigger rules for Universal apps (aka Windows Store apps or Metro apps) is a slightly different process from regular desktop apps. In this guide we'll use the Calendar app as an example.

1. Open the Calendar app, and position it where you want it to be moved to by the Trigger rule.
2. On the DisplayFusion Settings > Triggers tab, click "Add."
3. In the "Edit Trigger" window, enable the "Process Filename" checkbox, cancel the "Select Application" window, then put *ApplicationFrameHost.exe into the Process Filename field.
4. In the "Window Text" field, enter the Universal app name, in this case, "Calendar".
5. Below the Actions pane, click "Add > Move Window to Specific Size and Location," drag the blue target icon and drop it on the Calendar window, then click OK.

6. Click OK again to save the rule, then OK to apply the main Settings window.
7. Close and re-open the Calendar app to test out the new Trigger rule.

As always, if you run into any trouble, please feel free to contact us and we'll be glad to help out!

We're pleased to announce a few new CloudShow apps to give you greater flexibility in what you can show on your displays! This week we've added Instagram, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and PDF apps to the list.

Instagram

The Instagram app allows you to login with your account and display a slidedshow of images that are posted to your account. Note that the Instagram API is restrictive and doesn't allow you to pull images from other user's feeds.

Word, PowerPoint, and PDF

On the Content Management page, you can now upload Word, PowerPoint, and PDF documents. They'll automatically get converted into a format that works with CloudShow, and you'll receive an email notifying you when the conversion is done. When the conversion is complete, you can add the newly uploaded files to the appropriate app for that file type. You can also use Word pages, PowerPoint slides, and PDF pages in the Image Slideshow app.

We've just rolled out a CloudShow update with a couple of exciting new changes! We've added a new "Device Map" page, and made some substantial improvements to the Image Slideshow app and Content management pages.

Device Maps

First off, we've added a "Device Map" page so that you can quickly see the location and status of any device in your organization. To view the Device Map, click the "View Device Map" link at the top of your Dashboard, and you'll be presented with a map that looks something like this:

Green balloons represent online devices, red balloons represent offline devices, and clicking on a balloon will give you more details about the device. If there are multiple devices in the same area, they'll be combined into one balloon and you'll see the details for all of them when clicking the balloon. A balloon that's half green, half red indicates there are multiple devices, with at least one online and one offline.

Image Slideshow Improvements

We've also made some great improvements to the Image Slideshow app, and the Content management page. In the Image Slideshow Settings dialog, we've improved the image selector. It now shows image previews, and you can select multiple images quickly by holding CTRL when selecting the images, or by clicking the "Select All" link at the top.

Content Management Improvements

Over on the Content page, you can now easily delete multiple images by using the checkboxes to select them all before clicking the delete button. You can also click the Edit (pencil) icon next to an image to see more details about the image, and replace the image with a newer version if needed.

We're happy to announce updates to both the Activities and Stats pages! The searching and filtering on these pages has been improved and expanded, with new and more detailed options available.

The Activities page now provides the ability to filter activities by group, date range, and even the source of the activity: email messages, overdue activities, user-set statuses, or updates from the CheckCentral API.

Updated Activities page filtering

The Stats page has also been updated to allow filtering by the activity source, as well as by only a specific check. As always, any search on the Stats page can be saved as a PDF or CSV format report.

Updated Stats page filtering

We hope these updates will make it even easier and more convenient to find and report on only the information that is important to you!

Updating VoiceBot

We're very happy to announce layouts and scheduling for CloudShow! This fantastic new functionality will allow you to create, duplicate, and modify different layouts for a device, and either change between them manually, or on a schedule. You can schedule layout changes for anywhere between 15 minutes and 24 hours.

To add new layouts and edit schedules, follow the steps below:

1. On the device's page, click Add or Duplicate in the Layout box. Add will start with a completely blank layout for the device whereas Duplicate will start with a copy of the current layout for the device.
   
2. Edit the layout as needed.
   
3. If you'd like to schedule layout changes, click the "Scheduling" link in the Layout box.
   
4. Enable the "Use detailed scheduling..." checkbox.
   
5. To add a scheduled layout to a day, click anywhere in a blank spot on that day. The new scheduled item will fill the blank space, and you can then drag it to reduce the time if needed, or drag it to a different time slot or day.
   
6. If you want to use the same schedule for every day, after setting up the first day, click the "duplicate" icon at the top of the day and it will be copied to all other days.
   
7. When you're all finished up, click the Save button to apply your schedule setup/changes.

As always, if you run into any trouble at all, please don't hesitate to contact us.
