Hi,

I'm new to DisplayFusion and have a newbie question (can't find it in the documentation): is it possible to issue automatically a DF-command as soon as DF is active at system boot?
I use a certain mouse setting and have to do it each time manually. No big deal, just one command, but it would be nice if there is such a facility available.

(I use DF for a week now and can't do without it already, how did I survive all these years...)

Thanks,
René

It sure is!

On the Settings > Triggers tab, add a new rule and choose "DisplayFusion Starts" for the Trigger Event.
Click Add > Run Function > New Custom Function.
In the Custom Function window, choose "Launch Application" as the Function Action.
Set the path to the EXE, and any command line parameters if needed.
Click OK, OK again, then Apply.
Reboot to test it out.

Hope that helps!

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your answer. The function you describe is to automatically run a program, right? I was not quite clear I'm afraid, I meant to issue a DF command.
The command I'd like to execute is 'Lock/Unlock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor'.
Is that possible?

Ah gotcha, sorry about that! You can do that as well, using a DisplayFusion Starts trigger. Just choose Add > Run Function, and choose the lock/unlock function from the list
