Configuartion protection sometimes fails to restore previous resolution

[gyzerok]

Hello and thank you for such a wonderful app!

I've got a new monitor and sometimes upon waking up displays configuration is being reset to the initial one (mirror mode such that when I connected this monitor for the first time).

Not a problem, since BetterDisplay have configuration protection. This seems to help me and restore all the configurations I've made.

However there one issue that sometimes happening. I configured resolution to be HiDPI 3072x1296, however it gets restored to HiDPI 3008x1270. And for some reason the 3072x1296 option gets disappears from the list. It seems like changing various settings randomly (or at least I didn't found how) restores this option and I can select it back.

What could be wrong here?

Which macOS version are you running?

I am currently on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93)

All right, try to upgrade to Sequoia. Sonoma has a bug with custom configurations. Read this: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/wiki/Fully-scalable-HiDPI-desktop#display-configurationcustom-resolutions-bug-with-macos-sonoma--fix

Oh, thank you, I've missed that one!

Seems like app has too many "reinitialize" options scattered around various places.

I've had "reinitialize on wake enabled". Lets see how this one will go.

There is a reinitialize option under Tools that instantly does the reinitialization stuff. And there are some under the display. Normally these should not be required. The best way forward imho is to install Sequoia - 15.0 is essentially an improved/fixed Sonoma mostly as the major new AI features are missing, so I don't think there is much reason to stick to the older OS with all its issues.

Yeah, agreed. It's just my rule of thumb with Apple to move to a new OS versions once the first minor version is released. This way I avoid most bugs and software compatibility issues. So am waiting for 15.1.
