Window Position Profile - Cut and Paste

KCTechPro

3 discussion posts

Is there a method to cut and paste window positions within the profile management? I want to capture the window position to a new profile, then cut and paste to an older profile. Or, allow me to capture and append to the existing profile. If there's a config file I can hack, that will works for me.

The profile is stored in the registry at this location:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\WindowPositionProfiles

It's not really feasible to edit it right in the regedit window, but you can copy the data out to Notepad, make the changes, then paste it back in.

You should exit DisplayFusion before pasting the changes back in so that they don't get overwritten by cached values.

Hope that helps!

Where are the window positions stored?

If you copy the data for the Window Position Profile out of regedit and into notepad, you should see the window positions. Each app will be in its own json block like this:

Code
Copy
Select All

{
            "windowHandle": 1706422,
            "processPath": "C:\\ProgramData\\CloudShow\\3.0.0.0\\CloudShowClient.exe",
            "windowClass": "\"WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.3598b65_r34_ad1\"",
            "windowText": "\"CloudShow 3.0\"",
            "x": -3840,
            "y": 0,
            "width": 1134,
            "height": 909,
            "isMaximized": false,
            "isMinimized": false,
            "hasMaximizeBox": true,
            "hasMinimizeBox": false,
            "matchWindowHandle": false,
            "matchProcessPath": true,
            "matchWindowClass": true,
            "matchWindowText": true
        }

X,Y are the positions.

Hope that helps!
