I'm using 'Window Location' with a *.* rule to make all applications appear on the 'current screen'. I have some additional rules for specific programs that I want to appear on a certain selected screen also. This works fine.
I now have an application in which I must configure which screen it should appear on, in the application's own settings. In other words, the application itself handles its window positioning in order to appear on a different screen than where (I'm guessing) Windows would put it. However, these settings are overruled by displayfusion, and it always appear on the current screen.
How do I add a specific application to Window Location and tell displayfusion NOT to handle window positioning at all?
Good question! Does the application move itself first, and then DisplayFusion moves it after? Or does the application not move itself at all before DisplayFusion does?
I'm not sure. The application window always appears on the current screen as set by displayfusion (from the *.* rule, I assume). I don't see it appearing on the screen set in the application first and then move to current screen as set by displayfusion, but that might just be because it happens too fast. Naturally, if I turn off all 'window location', the application appears on the screen it is configured to in the application, but I need the *.* rule for other things.
In the displayfusion 'window location' settings, I don't see the option for 'ignore this application'? Is it possible to do this already, or is this something you could please add?
Yeah, we'll definitely add that to our list! In the meantime, could you try creating a Function like the attached screenshot, and then use that Function in the Window Location rule?

This seems to work, but not consistently. I'm not sure what the difference between applications are, but it only seems to work sometimes.
We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and you can now create a Window Location rule for a specific application, and choose "Do Nothing" from the drop-down to have it get ignored by Window Location. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.
