once maximizer has moved them into position, they can be swapped (be nice and wait for them all to be maximized..)

I don't think that is the problem, I have tried to wait at each step, different times, different keystrokes, I don't know what the problem is...

try this...

copy the keyclone directory..
go into the copy and work there.
delete the keyclone.ini file
run keyclone in the new directory directly (run-as admin if vista)
only make 2 regions.. region0 and region1
attach pip hotkeys A and B
keep them on the main screen... do not move them to extended areas (this is only a test)
create 2 commands... wow1 and wow2
assign regions appropriately
hit ok
on the command area.. type : wow1;wow2

2 wows should appear. don't bother logging in, although type something in each so you can distinguish
click on region0 and hit B, this should swap with region1 and the username field should now be different

let me know what you find.

I did just as you said, and it works fine!

By pressing key A, I was able to swap the two instances of wow1 and wow2 back and forth to the main area.

Note: it worked with key A, it worked with LCTRL+F8 and LCTRL+F9, and it worked with Shift+F8 and Shift+F9, it just didn't work with LALT+F8 or LALT+F9. I went back to my main keyclone and tried it again there, and I used Shift+F5 and Shift+F6 and it worked. So, looks like problem solved. I'm not sure why that didn't work before, but it is now. I just can't use LALT+F5, etc.

I have a function request for the maximizer in keyclone, since I could not find this feature anywhere (figured this would be a good place to ask), though I don't know what the keymap function does, this request is about maximizer.
Would it be possible to name and save maximizer setups that can then be loaded from a drop-down list or something, since I would like to have more than one different window/PiP setup without having to make a different .ini file copy for each one.
I base this request on the fact that I run various setups, sometimes 5-box, sometimes 6, or 4 etc.
And as such I would like to have an easy way to change my window setup whenever I change the number of characters I'm playing at the time.
This mostly due to the fact that I run them all on one computer with one screen.
I'll post a pic of my 6-box setup later, since it fit perfectly on my 24" screen with perfect 4:3 ratio on all the windows. (with one large and 5 small, though I'm planning to try having 6 equally sized windows in one of my setups too)

Edit: discovered the option of profiles being in the to do section on the developers notes on the keyclone site, but I'll leave my post intact here in case I have made any points that were previously not mentioned. (also, maybe the profile could include more than just the maximizer settings, at the very least to also include the commands list perhaps. Since the basic idea of this request is already known, I guess you may have a better idea of what is necessary than me)

Sincerely,
Maxion, fresh new multi-boxer (multi-instancer is more correct term I guess).

For now I've just made some folders named as my intended profiles, and put copies of the keyclone.ini file with their respective settings in them, so when I want a different setup I just copy the desired configured ini to the main directory and run it, voila.

Hey my 3 clients on the left work fine. The resolution is where i want but my main box resolution is messed up somehow? The size is where its at setup via KC but when i load in im missing bar parts. Like i don't see the far right bars and only half my bags. On the left im missing a few buttons. Iv changed the res via Config file in the WTF also messed around with maximizer but that is clearly not the issue. Could it just be a weird set up? My moniter is 1280x1240 does it have to be an equal 1/3 of it? Right now my big box is 961,1024. Could this be it?

Edit. It can't be beucase when i switch the other copy's into there using PiP the bars work fine.

it probably has to do with in-game aspect ratios.

the next release, v1.8h, will help resolve the issue

When will that come out? This is kinda impairing my game play lol.

I'm on to 1.8g finally, yeah I'm a lazy bastard and basically tuesday maintenance is the only reason i pulled myself away from powerquesting for the 15 minutes it takes to upgrade and do some setup, lulz.

I redid my maximizer regions and assigned them all PiP hotkeys F8-F12(which yeah are the same as my focus shift ones etc etc)... PiP switch seems to work flawlessly, in fact it is near instant. Very happy with the performance there.

The one problem though is that upon PiP switch I have my windows taskbar pop up and stick around. Is this normal? Is there something simple I'm missing? A checkbox left on/off? Are F keys Vista shortcuts I need to disable or something?

Thoughts anyone?

EDIT - more details. All 5 client windows fullscreen and just stacked on top of eachother. If that matters.
