You can use an asterik (*) as a wild card to grab the path automatically, like this: *Discord.exe

Hope that helps!


Hmm, that may very well be what I'm looking for! So for example, here's my current Discord EXE:

C:\Users\<Me>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-1.0.9230\discord.exe

When Discord updates, this will change, in particular the path. Would DF let me use the wildcard in say, this way?

C:\Users\<Me>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-1.0.*\discord.exe ]]> RE: Strategies for triggers with Electron apps (Discord, Teams, etc.) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/strategies-for-triggers-with-electron-apps-discord-teams-etc/?ID=019d3f22-ae09-710c-b97f-10395f5b1425#2 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 17:19:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/strategies-for-triggers-with-electron-apps-discord-teams-etc/?ID=019d3f22-ae09-710c-b97f-10395f5b1425#2 DisplayFusion You can use an asterik (*) as a wild card to grab the path automatically, like this: *Discord.exe

For example, I have DF set to move Discord and Teams to specific displays and locations when I hook in to my office docking station. The problem is that if I use the Process Filename trigger, it breaks every time the apps update because they always change their bloody filenames with each one. I can't use the Windows Class because every Electron app shows up as "Chrome_WidgetWin_1". And Window Text doesn't work (at least with these two apps) because the title changes depending on what channel etc. you're in at a given time.

I figure there surely must be a reliable way to handle these types of apps that I'm just not seeing, so I thought I'd ask if people have any strategies for these given how far the Electron plague has spread these days.

Cheers. ]]>
