I'm using custom functions to lauch applications with a hotkey. Some applications (e.g. WinMerge, Notepad++) run only in one instance. If such an application is already running in the background, it will not be started again. And since some time (Maybe since upgrade to Windows 11?) I notice that these applications stay in the background when they were already running.
For this kind of applications it would be nice to have the option 'Launch Application and Focus' in a custom function. So DisplayFusion checks, if the application is already running and assures that it is moved to the top.

Currently I have a scripted function for every such application.

Regards,
Christian ]]>
