Those trigger paths do look correct, you could even try something like:

*\Discord.exe

Can you give the simpler one a try and see if that makes any difference? Thanks!

Wildcards Not Always Working

Hey all.

Been a DisplayFusion user for many years. Due to the continuing plague of applications using Electron, I have a number of things I use that don't remember their window positions between launch and also constantly change the folders they are in based on updates (Teams and Discord among others). I've been using wildcards in my triggers and window position profiles to solve this. Here's examples of the process strings I use for each:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Discord\app-*\Discord.exe
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_*\ms-teams.exe

The problem I'm having is they just don't always seem to work. Sometimes the applications will have their triggers processed when they launch and sometimes they won't. This can be because when I restart my machine, they sometimes launch before DisplayFusion itself does but even manually triggering the window position profile in those cases doesn't always seem to work.

From what I've read in both the documentation and other threads here, I think I'm using the wildcards correctly, also evidenced by the fact that they do seem to work sometimes. I'm a bit baffled so I was wondering if anyone here could sanity check this for me.

Thanks!
