We will likely contact you privately about the pricing quote, and I'll let you know about the feature to force the start screen to another monitor. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#15 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 19:13:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#15 DisplayFusion Update with potential solution (sadly doesn't work for me, I assume because I have a 32 bit OS, and cant confirm)

and heres a download link because the origional file is nolonger there:

Also I found this post on your forums; I know its old but if this solution works, you may want to post it for him:

Also i have a question about group licensing, lets assume I were to buy 1 million licenses to be distributed specifically on my hardware. could i get a ballpark price quote? (I need prices to tell potential investors) and the aproximate number of man-hours put into display fusion

UPDATE 2: Why are "use mini start screen AND open on current monitor" even combined? shouldn't they be separate features? maybe having a drop-list in the future for open on ______(Default, current, 1-however many monitors)I feel this could get some decent use for more than just my project. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#14 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 20:47:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#14 DisplayFusion DF has a feature to make it always open on the monitor where the mouse cursor is, but not a specific monitor. I'll investigate to see if it's possible to force it to a specific monitor via a script. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#13 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:34:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#13 DisplayFusion Would you happen to know of a way to force metro to always open on a specific screen? on my test rig I believe i had it setup that way, but I've been unable to reproduce the result (any time i hit the windows key I want it to open on the phones screen) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#12 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:33:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#12 DisplayFusion Ah, that sounds like a pretty neat project! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#11 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:10:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#11 DisplayFusion Im aware that its all closed source, I was just curious if a small part of it could be split away, though thanks anyways.

well my project involves installing windows on a cellphone, and then running android in a VM on the native display. I was looking for a way to keep both isolated. with only a few apps working on the native display, and only via touch. Namely the windows keyboard app, and the VM running android. This cellphone would be plugged into new TV's frequently as that is the project goal (eliminate the need for a laptop by just using your phone anywhere you have access to an hdmi port) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#10 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:07:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#10 DisplayFusion We can probably modify the script to poll the attached monitor IDs, and if a specific ID is attached, execute the code in the script. Is that what you're looking for?

Unfortunately it's not going to be possible for us to make it a standalone app or provide the source code. Our software is all closed source, and everything involved with the scripted functions is shared code, so it's not feasible for us to break it out into its own app.

If you're looking for a standalone EXE, you might want to check out AutoHotKey. It's a pretty powerful scripting engine, and the scripts can be compiled into standalone executables.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#9 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:05:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#9 DisplayFusion Im aware they cant stand alone. and thanks, however I have a few other requirements for it, and would really prefer it to stand-alone if at all possible (yes Im willing to pay). Im working on designing a product in my innovation and development class. therefor I would need something financially feasible, that I have legal rights to.
Also the hardware I'm running it on is going to be somewhat lower spec, and I would prefer it to be as light as possible

For the working prototype this should be good enough, with the below modification:
I need it to detect when a second monitor is plugged in, and make it the primary monitor, then activate this script (which also has to work with monitor hot-swapping if it doesnt)

but later Im going to need something standalone if its not hours of work (and as stated I can pay some), that doesn't come with a licensing fee, and is light weight. I would need the source code too. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#8 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:04:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#8 DisplayFusion I've attached a sample script that should do what you're looking for. Unfortunately DF scripts can't run stand-alone though. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#7 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 08:31:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#7 DisplayFusion Would it be possible to get something similar to this commissioned from you guys? It would need to stand alone from displayfusion (though I don't mind if you use the source code also)

And if-so do you have an email/skype where we can discuss further? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#6 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 19:42:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#6 DisplayFusion There sure is! Sample scripts are listed here: http://www.displayfusion.com/ScriptedFunctions/, and at the bottom of that page, there's a link to the list of code functions available ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#5 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 02:31:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#5 DisplayFusion Thanks; you should add a way to donate ^.^ because a lot of the specific features (like this) could be commission/donation works (since the list of people to benefit would be quite slim)

Also I know some coding myself (java, and C++) might there be a list of globals that we have access to? Im just curious what kinda power this new scripting system has ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#4 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:10:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#4 DisplayFusion You would need a custom script indeed. I'll see if we can write one up for you. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#3 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:25:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#3 DisplayFusion Ok so lets say I want programs A, B, and C to open on the touchscreen(3)
and anything else to open on the display the shortcut or parent is located;unless that happens to be display 3. If it was opened on 3, I would like it to open on display 1 (unless it is either A, B, or C)

This is what I got so far.
A.exe|B.exe|C.exe - Do Nothing
*.* - Move to current Monitor, unless current monitor is monitor 3, then move to monitor 1

Will i have to write a custom function for the bolded part? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#2 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:54:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd#2 DisplayFusion You can specify multiple programs using the pipe separator, like this:

C:\App1.exe|C:\App2.exe

If you're specifically entering applications, you shouldn't need to exclude any. If you use a wildcard, like C:\App*.exe, but didn't want it to apply to App3.exe, you can just create a new Window Location rule for C:\App3.exe and set it to "Do Nothing."

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:29:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-from-monitor/?ID=9afd8ec0-a25e-4ce6-9df5-7f4162f863cd DisplayFusion I was thinking about setting up a small (10 inch) touch screen beside my dual monitor setup (with various rainmeter widgets, and maybe a few shortcuts if possible. The thing is; I don't want the mouse to ever enter that space (or windows unless specified)
Displayfusion can already meet the mouse requirement quite nicely (by locking to my rightmost screen, and specifying +1920 pixels (to cover the screen next to it; but not the 3rd screen which is even further left) Also the touch functions work fine in this setup.

The only thing left to do is prevent any 'rogue' windows from opening on it. Basically I was wondering if there is already a way to do this

Thanks

UPDATE:
Attached a screenshot showing what I believe to be the best route to acomplish this (and add quite a bit more functionality)
Featuring 2 edits;
the ! aka NOT modifyer, which would exclude specified programs from the rule
and a ; character to allow multiple programs to be specified ]]>
