So it seems that Windows doesn't send a "Window Focused" message if the application is switched to using the taskbar when it wasn't first minimized. If the window was minimized and you use the taskbar button, then it triggers.

I will put this on our list to investigate but can't make any promises, as it may just be the way it works. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#4 Thu, 15 Aug 2024 20:58:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#4 DisplayFusion Ok, interesting! I'll do some testing with those (seeing LogFusion in that list, we should definitely make sure it works with that ) and see what I can find out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#3 Thu, 15 Aug 2024 01:46:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#3 DisplayFusion Many but not all applications. Vmware, Teams, Logfusion, Slack. Either repeatedly minimizing/restoring or just switching away/back eventually works. So the rules are solid, it's just they don't always get triggered. I suppose it's because the focus message is somehow not seen by DisplayFusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#2 Wed, 14 Aug 2024 19:30:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1#2 DisplayFusion There isn't a way to do that, no. Does this happen with specific applications or all applications? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1 Mon, 12 Aug 2024 00:14:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/getting-triggers-to-trigger-because-sometimes-they-dont/?ID=019143ef-801a-72ea-8803-53dda59801c1 DisplayFusion I have allot of triggers that set size/pos anytime a window gets focus. Is there a way I can invoke "look in the triggers list for this window" and ACT - on demand? I often find myself clicking back and forth between other random windows to get the window to size/pos itself. Sometimes I can just repeatedly minimize/restore a window and it will eventually work. Other times I just switch away to another window and back - repeatedly - and that sometimes works. It seems like for some reason it's just not getting the windows focus message. I'm running a single 4k monitor. 10.1.2 ]]>
