If we're able to add something like that in the future we'll be sure to let you know. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#5 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 04:47:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#5 DisplayFusion I was able to get the trigger working to switch monitor profiles. I haven't tried the window position profile yet, but I plan to.

I expect there are several different heuristics you could use to re-maximize windows following a change in monitor profile. The simplest one would be for all maximized windows, re-maximize them in the new virtual monitor which they are the most contained in. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#4 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 01:19:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#4 DisplayFusion Were you able to try the Window Position Profiles assigned to the Monitor Profile?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by intelligent positioning. How would DisplayFusion know what window should go where? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#3 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 17:47:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#3 DisplayFusion Thanks! I was able to setup the trigger for the first part as you suggest. But maybe a cool feature to add to DisplayFusion is an optional intelligent repositioning of maximized windows when the monitor profile changes? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#2 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 13:41:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389#2 DisplayFusion Switching the Monitor Profile when an application launches can be done. I've attached a screenshot for reference. You'll find the "Load Monitor Profile" fucntion in the "Run Function" action.

Moving all of the open windows into the new layout is a bit trickier. One thing you could do is move them manually the first time, then save them as a Window Position Profile. You can then assign that Window Position Profile to the Monitor Profile, and it will get automatically loaded when the Monitor Profile is detected.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 18:32:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questionrequest-on-triggers/?ID=e3eafe3e-c523-4fbf-bd55-8b6d59534389 DisplayFusion Hello! Thank you for this wonderful piece of software!

There are some things that I would like to do with triggers, but it doesn't seem like I currently can.

I have a super ultra-wide screen (5120x1440). Ordinarily I use a monitor profile in DisplayFusion called "dual" which divides the screen into 2560x1440 virtual monitors (not sure if that is the correct term). I would like to create a trigger that when a specific application (or group of applications) is run, the following things happen:

1. Switch from my "Dual" monitor profile to another called "Mid", which is one central 2560x1440 virtual monitor, and on the left and right side are 1280x1440 virtual monitors.
2. Re-maximize all maximized windows, snapping them to the new profile

As far as I can see, neither of these two actions are possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. ]]>
