MoveToDesktop is not working with VirtualBox guest windows

Open Zyxious opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

Hi, I'm running a Windows 10 guest operating system in VirtualBox on my local computer. I want to be able to move guest the windows between my virtual desktops just like other applications, but the MoveToDesktop menu doesn't seem to appear on the VirtualBox windows.

It would be nice if you could add the MoveToDesktop menu on the VirtualBox window or at least make the window move when using the move window keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for a nice utility!

Did you start MoveToDesktop as Administrator? Or did you crated a scheduled task?

I usually start it manually and I've tried starting it as administrator, but with the same result. The menu works with most of the other windows even when I run as ordinary user.

Confirmed, need to find out what the problem is for this.

Please try to install it as a scheduled task.

With Adobe Reader too, but I haven't tried to run it as a scheduled task.

I am using a scheduled task, and Transmission Remote doesn't run elevated, just doesn't move for some reason. I dunno if the fact that it's written using Lazarus/FPC makes a difference.

I tried to run it as a scheduled task with the same results as I do when I start it manually. I can move the Oracle VM VirualBox Manager windows but not the guest VM window. The move to menu Item is missing.
