nView Destroying All My Icon Positions
Is there any option in nView to save icon positions, and if not is there a
third party utility that will save the icon positions so I can at least recover later? It is incredibly destructive to my work productivity for all of 100 icons to get rearranged, and nView is doing this consistently any time I plug in my second monitor. nView doesn't do a good job of remember which monitor is primary, which monitor holds the icons, etc, when I am plugging and unplugging the second monitor between uses. The primary monitor is a 1920x1200 analog monitor and the second monitor is a 37 inch Westinghouse LCD on a wall. Because of nView's bad behavior, I usually use the second monitor unattached to the system, and then re attach when I need to use the computer to drive a movie. This in turn gets nView confused, it loses most of its settings, and then scrambles all icons into a random pattern. For such a rich application, it is amazing that they cannot get the basic things right, and at very least not do destructive things. -- Will |

Have used it for HDTV, but have yet to connect up the computer to it... It's amazing. Be sure to connect to DVI1 on the LVM-37W1 model, as that is the only one of the two DVI ports that supports 1080P. DVI2 is 1080i. I've used it for flight simulation gameplay. I would love to have a surround system with large panel LCDs surrounding and giving a true 180 perspective. -- Will |
