Workaround for DisplayLink and automatic re-association about betterdisplay

[waydabber]

I can detect if a display is virtual (it's in the code already) and in this case I won't be using the CGDirectDisplayID for association, only the display name. I'll pop up a notification though explaining to the user that this is a virtual display and if he is using multiple displays with the same name, the app won't be able to tell them apart.

That sounds like a useful improvement.

Hi, can you try this new build?

Can't seem to find a new build. Where is it?

Hi, can you try this new build? Just want to see if this works better. Please try it after reboot as well. I now use the serial number instead of port number for virtual displays. It seems to work well with sidecar, but I don't know how DisplayLink works in this regard. If this does not work, then I'll revert to not using any IDs.

(btw. I don't use serial numbers for real displays as most often a batch of displays have the same id and that causes issues on multi monitor setups).

Hahh, yeah, I forgot to add that, here it is:

Long story short: it worked. The expectation and behavior now match:

1. Quit DisplayLink Manager.app
2. Left & Right Wing displays are now disconnected
3. Launch DisplayLink Manager.app
4. Left & Right Wing displays are now connected and auto-associated correctly

I'll let you know if it breaks. But based on the initial test, consider this issue closed. 👍

Great, thank you! I'll close it once 1.0.11 is released, I'll add a Done label to the issue until that time.
