We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Hi Glen,
Appreciate all your work on DesktopInfo, great work
I have a slight bug, when I navigate from page 2 back to page 1, DTI moves up a bit. as there is more information on page 2 and when going back to page 1, page 1 shifts up by the difference in page height as page 2 has more info. This happens sometimes not always, I have tried to add in auto-scale=1 to try and anchor DTI but it has not worked. Is there a way this can be achieved?
I've attached a screenshot with my configuration.
Thanks
the height is dynamic, as you have discovered, it will change according to what it displays. if it's anchored to the top it will expand down as required. if it's anchored to the bottom, it will expand up as required with no fixed top position which is what you're seeing. You can set a fixed height using the 'height' option. Together with the 'bottom' option this will create a viewport of fixed size at your desired position. If the info is less than that size you'll see a space at the bottom, if the info is greater than that size it will disappear past the bottom. So set a height that is big enough for all pages or at least big enough for the information you care about.
Hi Glen,
Thanks for your reply, appreciate that
I have another issue on version 3.19.0.4809 where upon logon sometimes DTI will have moved up near the top right hand corner of the page, even though I have set specific values for the positioning so it can be anchored to the bottom right hand corner. I was wondering if it is worth updating to the latest version to see if that fixes it? Or if you have any other suggestions?
Thanks 🙂
the top right is the default position if nothing is set. check the log for errors.
v3.19.5 is pretty stable. v3.20.0 maybe less so 🙂
Hi Glen,
After signing into a machine this morning, it appears that DTI has had an error, here is the log:

Any suggestions?
Thanks Glen 🙂
@kwoodbridge13 That would be referring to a WMI class. Look for the first, second and third WMI items in the ini. Did it happen just the once or continuously? Check if those particular WMI items are working now. It might have just been a Windows anomaly.
