Dear Sir/Madame:

I am a generally satisfied customer of Actual Multiple Monitors 3.4.1. However, one feature does not seem to work as it seems to be designed to do: Individual Screen Savers do not honor separate directories per Screen Saver. The configuration as seen in the attached screen shot allows one to sel ect a different Screen Saver per monitor in a 2 monitor setup, and also allows one to choose 2 DIFFERENT directories to use pictures fr om. The settings do show different directories, however the screensavers only show the same pictures as if it only wants to honor one of the directories.

Am I misunderstanding the ability to choose "Individual Screen Savers" and also select each monitor and configure it's settings to select a different directory? Is it really on designed to show the same pictures on both monitors?

Thank you,

Hello Conrad.

The "Individual Screen Saver on each monitor" mode allows you to set different Windows screen savers on each monitor. Our program just manage the existing Windows screen savers, and each Windows screen saver can exist in the single instance. So, if you set Photo Screen saver on your both monitors, you're using the same screen saver with the same settings on your both monitors, and when bringing the screen saver settings window (no matter for which monitor) you're bringing the same settings window for the system Photo Screen saver.

Since the version 4.1 of Actual Multiple Monitors (as well as version 7.1 of Actual Window Manager) our programs provide their own slideshow screen saver which let you to have different slideshow settings on each monitor.

Best regards.
