I'd like to be able to run a script for each monitor profile. Specifically, add an extra column to the "Manage Monitor Profiles" table to run a script each time a profile is loaded, just like we do for wallpaper and icons. Even more useful with minimal effort would be to have separate startup/exit scripts for each profile.

I'd like this because when I dock my laptop to my big dual monitor setup, I want to be able to add more desktop icons. When I undock, I want to streamline my desktop icons and remove icons, as well as add some pinned Windows Taskbar items that I normally have pinned to my DisplayFusion Taskbar.

I'm sure other people would love to be able run certain similar scripts/applications when profiles load, like this feature request to run on triggers (although that one apparently wants all triggers, my request is just when loading monitor profiles).

You can actually load a Monitor Profile in a script, so you could have your script load the profile, then do all of the other things after the profile is applied. Would that work for you?

I'm really looking for it to be automated, like the way profiles are done. Seems incredibly useful to automatically run a script at the same time--customization possibilities would be endless.

Are you looking for something that automatically triggers when you switch monitor profiles? Or something that switches your monitor profiles and icon profiles automatically when you plug in?

I have a basic working version of the first one.

Side note: how willing are you to code a little bit?

Edit: I now have both finished just let me know if you want one. You do need to run it at least once after start up of course.

Hey solaris can you publish them to the macro/function library? I would also be interested! Thanks!

you can use this version.

Note: Fullscreen applications make it freak out. So shut it off when you use those. Also I haven't worked on a smooth shut off so just kill it with fire.
