The window position profiles are great (actually the only reason I am evaluating DisplayFusion Pro)

Is there a way to set which application has focus when you switch to a profile? It's a small thing, but it would be useful, especially since I like to switch frequently using a hotkey.

Another couple of things:
1. Could you add an option to minimize every window that is not specified in the profile? Or maybe to specify order so that the specified windows can be on top. Currently, if I have a random window open, it ends up on top of some / all of the specified windows.
2. It would be good if the switching were faster. Currently the windows seem to get moved around even if they are to be minimized / maximized, and it takes a few seconds for all windows to be re-arranged. I would like it to be as quick as possible.

Thanks for your good work!

This doesn't seem to work very well for me:
1) Moves windows that are not part of the profile.
2) Does not bring windows to the front.
3) Speed (you don't need to check a minimized windows position if its not one that should be moved....)

I suspect DisplayFusion is overmatching windows for some reason :/

Is there a way to restore window positions to multiple virtual desktops in Windows 10? When using the standard window position profile feature, the windows will move to the correct monitor, but they won't restore to the virtual desktop that they were on previously.

If this feature doesn't exist, are there any plans to implement in the future? I've been trying to find a way to replicate the experience of the Mac where you can restore everything to its current position on reboot and your entire environment automatically comes up the way it was before the restart. With a combination of startup manipulation, firefox windows picking up where they left off, and DisplayFusion, I've nearly got it.

Thanks for any info!

Hi,

Is there anyway to append new windows position to an existing profile? I'm looking for a way that will allow me to add new applications positions without having to erase old applications which are not in used when I save a new profile.

Also, is there a way to store windows positions only by the application name, without the window class or window text? This is quite useful when you want to save the location of new email window (which always has different window text), Spotify player, etc.

TIA

Keith, thanks for the assistance!
Thing is that by default, windows are saved with all 3 checkboxes selected and I'm not sure that is the condition to restore them, wethear its by the class, filename or window text. Is there an option to set that windows will be saved only by the process filename?

Also, if I'm trying to automate the process of saving the windows positions using a trigger, will it amend the new windows or override the profile only with the current active windows?

TIA,
Ziv

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your response. Here are my thoughts on the subject.
Let's say I've 40 apps on my laptop. If I configure a trigger to automate saving the profile, but it always overrides the profile with the apps that are currently opened, then previous apps that were saved are deleted and as such I'll never be able to create a complete profile of every app I've that will properly align it between my screens and its position.
I guess the same behavior is appliable for the rest of the profiles, icons, etc.
To conclude, I guess I'm looking for a feature that will append new windows into selected profile, rather than overwriting it.

Regards,
Z

Hi Keith, any projection on when this feature will become available?
Thanks, Z.

Can you add an option to add windows you have open to an existing profile instead of having to spend time filling out to specific details. Maybe also a way to merge profiles too. Finally, an option to open the program/window if it is not already open before aligning the windows. That along with the already suggested choose which wind to fucus afterwards would make this feature near-perfect for all conceivable used to my mind. Maybe a function to add the focused window to a profile?

The window position profile does not actually load programs for me. So I set the profile for my 6-screen monitor setup. If I close all the programs, including Chrome with multiple tabs set the way I want them, and then load the position profile, it does nothing. It seems to only work if I already have all the windows open and all the Chrome tabs already loaded. This defeats the entire purpose of the functionality. Most of these programs already load in the position I want them anyways, and the ones that don't are easy to move. I got DisplayFusion for this purpose alone so I could save time and switch between multiple program configurations in multiple positions and I could switch between them with a hotkey. Am I missing something here?

Is it true that the window position profile feature only works if the window is already open? Is there a way to have display fusion open program windows that aren't already open?

For some reason, Microsoft has started including application version numbers in the filepath for the application EXE. This messes up Window Position Profiles because the filepath changes whenever the application updates (usually automatically). Can the Process Filename field use wildcard characters to be be unaffected by those app updates?
I've attached screenshots showing what I had set in DF, the current filepath, and the current version of the affected app. Thanks in advance!

Is there something that could also RUN all the apps saved in the window position profiles automatically?

I know I can do it manually. But I wonder why not 'save' the snapshot like now using Window Position Profiles and then when I hit 'run' all windows that are not running in profile should be opened and then positioned. It would save tons of time.

I, too, came seeking a way to manually reorder windows one each monitor. Here's my vote for that feature.

God bless.
