<del>I use your website screen saver, how do I find the file name on that? And should i recognize it by process filename, or some other?</del><br/>
<br/>
EDIT: I found the Website.scr in the DisplayFusion folder, but the trigger does not fire on process end, neither on full path or if i put a * in front.<br/>
<br/>
EDIT2: The trigger fires if I manually run the Website.scr file, but not if I start it through DF.<br/>
<br/>
EDIT3: I ended up writing a custom screensaver detecter script, looking for any application with *.scr, and if it finds any then wait for it to stop existing, and maximize the specific window. It's not pretty, but it works(ish).<br/>
<br/>
EDIT4: I found the script being too slow, it could take 1 second or more before it maximized, I need it to maximize instantly (the user should not be able to see the desktop at any point).<br/>
<br/>
EDIT5: I ended up with the script below, I think that was the only one I could make work consistently and satisfyingly. However it would really be nice if a screensaver exit could broadcast an event, which we could act upon.<br/>

Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Is it possible to somehow abort the screensaver programmatically? I need to take a screenshot of a computer's desktop before i remote into it with TeamViewer, but the screensaver is blocking the view.<br/>
<br/>
I tried creating a trigger with a function that disables the screensaver, but nothing happens. I have also attached a simple Show Notification function to the trigger, which is fired just fine, so I'm sure the trigger is fired.<br/>
<br/>
Furthermore I need to maximize a window when the screensaver is aborted - is this possible? And if so, how?
