Window position profile text query syntax question

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 23:32:27 GMT

I am on DF Pro 12.2 Beta 5.

I use Spark for Windows. I have the window profile set up as in the attachment.

Say I want to open an email in its window (pop out the message). DF treats this as the main program's window, so it applies the profle setting. I only want to apply the window profile setting to the main program but not the sub window such as the pop out message window.

I thought I can specify the window text to be "Spark Deskop", ="Spark Desktop" or =="Spark Destkop", but all these still make DF open the message window with the window profile settinga applied. How can I make DF ignore any Spark windows that is not the main program?

Thanks.

If you disable DisplayFusion taskbars, do the windows open correctly?

Yes but this isnt an equal test. I open the apps from the monitor i want to open them on. Without taskbars, i then have to drag them to the other monitor so they aren't opening on my other monitors so can't properly confirm.

Could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and then click "Clear Log"
Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Reply with the file attached
Disable debug logging after sending the log

No worries, glad to hear that fixed it!

DF Causes Windows to perform like trash after it enters Hibernation mode. It can never recover. The team needs to fix this issue immediatly.

The only way to fix them is to either:

1) Nuke DF and watch windows return to being snappy
2) restart your PC and never enter hibernation mode.

HUGE performance fault.

This is actualy a major problem. I thought it was Windows, no no, its DisplayFusion. I've had these issue for several major releases, and the only way to fix them is to either:

1) Nuke DF and watch windows return to being snappy
2) restart your PC and never enter hibernation mode.

Both solutions are not ideal... please fix this HUGE performance fault.

RE: How to prevent automatic update checks and telemetry tracking in Display Fusion

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 16:12:31 GMT

Can you help us with exact UI settings to disable automatic update checks and telemetry tracking in Display Fusion

Quote:

This is the setting you're looking for: https://www.displayfusion.com/AdvancedSettings/?Version=12.1.99.105#general_disablecrashreportingandtelemetry

If you create a backup after enabling that setting, it will be included in the backup yep.

The update checks can be disabled in the DisplayFusion Settings > General tab

Yes, that indeed did fix it. Thanx!

RE: Is it possible to only show the date in the 'Show info on this monitor" settings?

This is currently on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it in the future.

Thanks!

From the troubleshooting info, it looksl ike it's launching as administrator. Windows won't auto-start apps that are set to launch as administrator. If you go to C:\Program Files\DisplayFusion, right-click DisplayFusion.exe > Properties > Compatibility, is "Run as administrator" enabled there? If so, try disabling that and then reboot.

You are absolutely right and I should have realized that. Thank you.

Is it possible to only show the date in the 'Show info on this monitor" settings?

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 14:49:30 GMT

Right now I only see the option for Date/Time generated, but not the date by itself. The generated time is only accurate for a minute and then doesn't update until the wallpaper changes. It bothers me to have a time displayed that could be many minutes off depending on the last wallpaper refresh. If there is way to just display the date without the time that would work for me.

Here is my debug info. Currently, the backgrounds are back to changing again. However, despite having DisplayFusion set to start when my computer starts, it's stopped launching with Windows and I have to manually launch it.

Yeah the VPN is likely rejecting our app hooks. If you add a compatibility rule for the app and turn on "Disable Application Hooks (Injected)" and "Disable Application Hooks (Polling)", does that fix it up?

Thanks for sending that over. Is this a personal computer or a company computer?

Using vivetool worked, thanks! I was able to reproduce this here and have added this to our list.

Yeah sure no problem:-

RE: Slow scripting

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 18:15:46 GMT

I tested both scripts here and they worked fine, so it's likely something specific to your machine. For the first one, you'll actually want to add a bit of delay in between the lines, because the Window Text is the last thing to be set on the Window, so the script might run that line before it's actually loaded. Just a 1 second wait line like this should do it:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.General.ThreadWait(1000);

If you close DisplayFusion does the issue persist?

RE: Block mouse cursor inside windows

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:11:41 GMT

Ah yeah you'll definitely run into strange issues if you're trying to minimize the app. You could keep the trigger enabled so it launches automatically on boot, but also add a hotkey to the function itself, and then just manually disable/re-enable it when you minimize the window.

Could you send me a screenshot of the trigger you created?

RE: Weird Error Message when starting

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:49:12 GMT

Just installed Beta 12.2-Beta5, and yes, it still comes up when DF launches. BTW, why does the error message title in the titlebar reference my VPN?
