 Hi.  I have just now started trying Actual Window Manager – Version 8.2, in my Windows 8.1 64 bit system.  Going into - Configure -- Multiple Monitors -- Background  -- I ran into a problem.
Under “Desktop Background Settings”  - I sel ected the “Individual picture on each monitor” option.  Under “Background mode” – I used the drop down to select “Slideshow”.  I then added Several Folders into the Slideshow playlist.
D:\RHWDocuments\MyPictures\CordovezOldPhotoScans
D:\RHWDocuments\MyPictures\FamilyWMaBelle
D:\RHWDocuments\MyPictures\WarrenFamilyPhotoScans
D:\RHWDocuments\MyPictures\WarrenFamilyScanCafe

I set the “Change interval” to 3 minutes.
Used the check mark to Select “Random play order”, and also “Search in subfolders”, and “Show picture source” Top-left  fr om the Dropdown.  And “Wallpaper position”:  crop to fit.
I have Two Monitors, and basically did the same setting on Each Monitor.
For some reason these settings are Not being Retained, and shown in the Configuration Screens.

When I Apply these changes, and go do the other Monitor and come back to look at the Settings for the First Monitor, the settings are still shown.  When I use the "OK" button, which closes the Configure area, and latter come back to review the "Desktop Background Settings", my changes have been lost.

I suspect but have not yet tested that the Large Number of Files, and Folders may be causing a problem.
These folders contain about 24,440 files, and 488 Folders, and require about 65 GB to store.  These photos basically represent my Family’s photo collection.

 Ok - it may be simpler than what I've indicated above.

Lots of Settings are not being retained, when using "Individual picture on each monitor".
I can be more specific if needed.
