ObjectDock and extended display

Am running a registered version of ObjectDock Plus v2.01 on W7x64.

My dual display is a laptop and a 32" TV connected using a HDMI cable.

When the two are connected there is no problem setting up a zoomer dock on the TV.

As soon as I disconnect the HDMI cable and revert back to one display, the TV zoomer appears over my laptop zoomer.

When I reconnect, the TV zoomer does not migrate back to the TV.

So I have decided not to have a dock on my TV display. (The main reason I bought Objectdock was to have multiple docks)

Is there going to be a fix for this please.

You have multiple docks. What is happening to you is the nature of windows, not Object Dock.

Can't you simply just move the TV dock back to the TV when you plug it back in?

I have a dual monitor system and most things I place on the second monitor move back to the first monitor when I eliminate the second. Normal stuff there.

Apart from the eysore of having two zoomer docks at the bottom of the laptop display, when unplugged,

there is the added onus of having to go into 'settings/position/change monitor' to reset the position of the dock to the TV when re-plugged in.

It would be nice if it was automatic and to not have it display at all when in single display.

FYI I am using rainmeters omnio skin which lets me have three different RSS feeds displayed on the TV, when I unplug the TV the feeds do appear on the laptop but if you mouse over them they dissapear. When the TV is plugged back in they are there, on the TV, where they should be.

So I would say its not a Windows problem.

Why are you unplugging your TV from your dual monitor set up? If you want to watch TV can you not change your source of the signal for the TV from PC back to a source for cable or satellite? That way as long as your TV is on and set to PC for the source when up turn on the computer the dock should come up where you want it.

When watching normal TV, I cannot get any sound from my laptop until the hdmi cable is unplugged, otherwise I would leave it plugged in.

Also using the laptop in another room means unplugging the cable.

Have you checked sound settings to have dual output , or perhaps there's a software on the card's makers website that will allow it,seems pretty daft not to output to both,it's just a thought no reply necessary
