So as I said a couple of years ago, Bigbox was creating several windows which triggered the "window destroyed" trigger.
Anyway, since I use autohotkey for a lot of stuff around here I created a script that launches bigbox, and renames the final window to what you want DF to look for as the "window destroyed" event.
;Press ctrl+alt+shift+p to change monitor profile then launch BigBox through Steam;
^!+p::
Send ^+2
Sleep 3000
Run steam://rungameid/11332905014558457856
WinWaitActive, LaunchBox Big Box
WinSetTitle, LBVideo ; Set Startup video Title
WinWaitActive, LaunchBox Big Box
WinSetTitle, LBFinal ; Set Final Window Title
return

This way, you set the "window destroyed" event's window name to "LBFinal".
You can change "Run steam://..." to "Run bigbox.exe" if you're not using steam
And you can also delete the "^!+p::" part and compile the script as an exe to have it as a standalone launcher.
Hopefully this will help anyone in the future that has come across this problem, and sorry for reviving such an old thread. ]]> RE: Trigger - Can't get process ended to work https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#4 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 16:39:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#4 DisplayFusion Yeah, that would do it. What might work better is to use the Window Created/Window Destroyed Triggers. With those, you can try specifying the Window Text and/or Window Class to differentiate the splash screen from the main window. ]]> RE: Trigger - Can't get process ended to work https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#3 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 21:07:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#3 DisplayFusion I'm facing the same issue, Bigbox does have a startup video that plays whilst the databases/cache are loading and that might be creating a new instance of bigbox.exe while terminating the previous one, meeting the trigger condition for process end when the program actually loads ]]> RE: Trigger - Can't get process ended to work https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#2 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 15:41:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee#2 DisplayFusion I wonder if that EXE is launching a second process and the first one terminates. Could you send over a debug log?

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks! ]]> Trigger - Can't get process ended to work https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee Mon, 11 Nov 2019 16:21:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-cant-get-process-ended-to-work/?ID=a138fa02-334d-4622-975e-bb720a76f0ee DisplayFusion I have a trigger set up as follows:

Process Ended.
Frequency: Always
Match conditions:
Process filename "K:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe"
Monitor profile: Mame
Delay: 60000ms (1min)
Run function: Load monitor profile: Main

I run "K:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe".
Switch to profile "Mame".
After exactly 30 seconds DF triggers and switches back to profile "Main".
K:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe process is still running.

I have also tried using the windows destroyed feature and this doesn't work either.

Any help appreciated! (running v9.5)
