I have 2 monitors, when i open an application, a trigger move it to 2nd monitor.

BUT, when i turn off the 2nd monitor this app moves to the main monitor automatically.

There's a way that when i reconnect the 2nd monitor this app moves againd to it?

Thank you in advance.

You could try changing the Trigger Event to "Window Focused." That way, any time you switch to the window, it will try to move it to monitor 2 if it's there.

Alternatively, you could try saving and restoring the window positions using separate Trigger rules: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/automatically-saving-and-restoring-window-positions-on-dockundock/?ID=5540c67a-5e2b-4f41-b88c-de4d9c2fa354

Hope that helps!

Sorry but not working, the restore trigger works, but i have to use the keyword Alt+TAB to focus the window.

i'll try to explain my scenario:

I have one PC connected to a standard monitor (display 1) and to a TV by HDMI (display 2), running 2 different applications, and i need that application A stay in Display 1 and application B stay in Display 2.

- When i run application 2 if the TV is on, a DisplayFusion Trigger move it there (Display 2)

- When i turn off the TV, the application 2 move to Display 1.

So when i turn on the TV i need that all return to the place that belong.

Thank you in advance, for your help and time.

The triggers in the guide I linked should handle that scenario. Could you attach screenshots of the trigger rules that you setup?

Thanks!
