If you enable the "Stop processing..." checkbox in the Chrome rule, that should fix up the issue :) ]]> RE: Opening programs with secondary monitor opens the programs on primary. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#6 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 08:51:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#6 DisplayFusion Okay I am having a small problem, I have a trigger that runs Chrome on startup on monitor 2, after a couple seconds it moves to monitor 1.

The two triggers feels like conflicting ]]> RE: Opening programs with secondary monitor opens the programs on primary. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#5 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 19:56:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#5 DisplayFusion The Window Location feature was rolled into the Triggers feature.

You can actually create a single Window Location rule that will apply to all windows. Please see the attached screenshot for reference :)

Hope that helps!


How can i create this rule? i'm using DisplayFusion Pro 9.4.3, and it doesn't have this option. ]]> RE: Opening programs with secondary monitor opens the programs on primary. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#3 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:47:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a#3 DisplayFusion You can actually create a single Window Location rule that will apply to all windows.

side monitors will open chrome to their monitor but center primary windows taskbar will only open it to the last monitor the application was on. ]]> Opening programs with secondary monitor opens the programs on primary. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a Sat, 20 Sep 2014 14:13:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/opening-programs-with-secondary-monitor-opens-the-programs-on-primary/?ID=8689d32d-95f9-466c-b235-4198cdf4281a DisplayFusion Slightly confusing title?! :P

Okay, here's the scenario;
Primary Monitor: 120Hz Gaming monitor (this is primary so all games open on this monitor by default)
Secondary Monitor: 29" 21:9 2560x1080 monitor.

When I have a game locked to the primary monitor and try to open a program using the second monitor, it'll open that program on the primary monitor, behind my game.. Which means I still need to minimize my game and move the program across to the second monitor.

Is there any way to resolve this please? other than going adding all the programs in "Window Location"..

Thanks! ]]>
