howdy y'all,

os = windows 7, sp1
df = pro 6.0

i have some apps that insist on opening their sub-windows on the same monitor as the app _and_ centered on that monitor. i would like to have the window open where i put it, not where the app wants it.

for instance ...
- open app on monitor-1
- open sub-window labelled "report-1" on monitor-2, at specific location
- open sub-window labelled "report-2" on monitor-1, at specific location

i can do it with autohotkey, but would like to simplify things and only use one util for location control.

from what i have found, DF cannot do that. only the main window can be forced to a monitor & location. sub-windows can only be forced to the same monitor as the main window.

am i missing something?

take care,
lee

It's not currently possible to move windows by their window title, but that is definitely on our feature request list. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it

Thanks!

Just wanted to follow-up to let you know that you can now do move windows by Window Title in the latest beta using the Triggers feature. A primer on the Triggers feature can be found here: https://www.displayfusion.com/KB/WorkingWithTriggers.

Thanks!
