Need beta testers for a utility to keep the SensorPanel glued to a monitor

Yea but it doesn’t work when we have scaling on our primary displays.

Pinning works in that case too.

I think what he means is that the scaling problem is not fixed with the pinning option.

Meanwhile, we've implemented native pinning the SensorPanel to any monitor.  Just check the new option called Pin SensorPanel to monitor in AIDA64 / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / SensorPanel.

Im afraid it still doesnt work. As soon as i power off my main monitor, sensoprpanel close from the second one, although i pin it to the second display.

By powering off, do you mean you press the power button on your primary monitor?  Please note that pinning only works in case the number of monitors are constant.  If you pin your SensorPanel to display #2, and display #1 (primary monitor) vanishes from the list of monitors as managed by Windows, the whole concept stops working.  We've designed the pinning feature to mitigate issues rising from changing primary monitor resolution as well as relations between the primary and secondary displays (e.g. when displays are moved around).  It's not been prepared to be aware of display #2 (secondary display) becoming display #1 (primary display) because of the main (primary) display suddenly disappearing from the system...

Oh, now i understand the use of this option, thank you.

Yes, either if i turn it off by pressing the power button or if the main monitor goes into sleep mode. Is there any way to prevent that? No matter the activity of the main monitor, on/off/sleep, the sensor panel to stick on the second one?

I absolutely need this as I have an HTPC with a second screen for sensor panel and when I turn off my TV, the sensor panel monitor becomes my main display and makes the sensor panel disappear.

Now please help an ignorant but I downloaded the files from github but I don't see an .exe. Looks like I have to "build the app"?

Somebody help and maybe share the app already built or something?

Thank you.

That feature is now included in the new Aida64 version but if you read a few messages above yours you will see that it does not work if you turn off the main display.

Yes I did read that the new Aida64 version has it but I also read that it doesn’t work when the monitor (or TV in my case) is switched off. Which is why @Omnius’s app is the perfect tool for me because it came to my understanding that it will still work with the monitor switched off. 
 

So, again, if somebody can please help build it for me, that’d be great! 😊

Bump?

Hi, I just built Omnius' app for myself. Is it too late? You still interested?

Except it's broke and doesn't work!

I wasn't able to get Aida64 to do what I wanted as far as handling when my monitors get switched off or my KVM is activated, so I wrote a program that runs in the Windows tray.  The program allows you to select a monitor and it will keep the sensor panel maximized on that monitor.  It responds to any changes in monitor profile or monitor resolution and will resize it.  It also has an option for resetting the window on a timed basis, if there is some other application causing trouble.  Before I release it I'd like to get a few more people testing the application for me.  I will be pushing the source up to GitHub as soon as testing is complete (mine and hopefully others). 

Let me know if you are interested in beta testing the application for me.  I don't have an installer created yet, so I can just send you a zip file with the application and initial configuration file.

Any suggestions as to further functionality would also be welcome.

Here are some screen shots of the settings dialog:

 

Hi, could I have access to this beta please?

Aidas implementation is bugged and does not work.
