App not visible after restart

[ianef]

A few times recently after packing up after a gig and restarting Resolume at home I can't get to the app without a lot of faffing about, trying to move windows I can't see and generally getting annoyed.

Frequently when I shut down at the end of a gig, my work monitors and projectors are all still connected, maybe in power down mode, but still seen as displays by Windows.

Having got my PC back home and I start up Resolume without the projectors, it starts with just the output displays showing on my 2 monitors and the app seems to be running in the background somewhere. Using Alt-Tab to bring it to the front doesn't work, trying to switch to it from the task bar doesn't always work. It's quite annoying, I have managed to get to it somehow but it's messy and takes a few minutes to do this.

After a gig I'm usually in a state of jubilation mixed with being knackered and trying to remember anything beyond 'Power Off' doesn't happen, so trying to remember to turn off the output displays in Resolume before I shut down, so that starting up again will behave as it should, is not very likely.

Command (Control on windows) + Shift + D disables all outputs.

OK, I'll stick a post-it note on my desk at home to remind me.

That's not a very technical solution to a technical problem though, I don't need post-it notes for other software. And not a nice experience for new users. I'm pretty sure this didn't happen in previous releases.
