[BUG]: Multiple monitors layout mix up

[alexgorbatchev]

Summary

I'm experiencing repeated monitor ID issue. I have 3 monitors arranged in this configuration:

-----  -----
| 1 |  |   |
-----  | 2 |
-----  |   |
| 0 |  |   |
-----  -----

The monitor-information always returns this for me:

$ komorebic monitor-information
{
  "GBT3204-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4355": {
    "left": 0,
    "top": 0,
    "right": 3840,
    "bottom": 2160
  },
  "GSM7750-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4353": {
    "left": 0,
    "top": -2160,
    "right": 3840,
    "bottom": 2160
  },
  "DELA0AA-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4352": {
    "left": 3840,
    "top": -1711,
    "right": 1440,
    "bottom": 3440
  }
}

My config has the following:

  "display_index_preferences": {
    "0": "GBT3204-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4355",
    "1": "GSM7750-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4353",
    "2": "DELA0AA-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4352"
  },
  "monitors": [
    {
      "workspaces": [{ "name": "a", "layout": "BSP" }]
    },
    {
      "workspaces": [{ "name": "b", "layout": "Columns" }]
    },
    {
      "workspaces": [{ "name": "c", "layout": "Rows" }]
    }
  ]

I found that after Windows sleep, monitors[1] and monitors[2] get swapped. I would say this happens pretty much every time, or nearly as frequent. My solution is to swap the values in the .json file manually every time. So essentially I keep rotating b and c to fix the issue.

At this point I've probably done it a few dozen times.

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\alex

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

This is an unordered map, so the order these values are printed in don't have any special meaning.

Assuming that this is the desired index layout:

-----  -----
| 1 |  |   |
-----  | 2 |
-----  |   |
| 0 |  |   |
-----  -----

You probably need to set display_index_preferences like this:

  "display_index_preferences": {
    "0": "GSM7750-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4353",
    "1": "GBT3204-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4355",
    "2": "DELA0AA-5&1818b9c1&0&UID4352"
  },

Thank you for you help, unfortunately I already have display_index_preferences in my config referenced above and so I believe the problem is elsewhere.

You should try replacing the value in your config with the value I have given- I made a change to the ordering based on the diagram you drew.
