Hi
Slowly getting the hang of DisplayFusion (loving it, by the way), and was hoping someone could explain to me how to do something.
I would like to shut down a particular program when the monitor profile is changed from 3 monitors to 2.
I'm guessing i use Triggers? Or Functions? Or both? Or neither?
Would appreciate even a rough guide

Thanks

You'd need to use a combination of a Trigger rule and a Scripted Function to do this. Could you send me the window title of the program you want to close?

Sure
The name of the program is called SongBook.
The name of the window is 'document title - LinkeSoft SongBook'
The path for the exe is C:\Program Files (x86)\LinkeSOFT\SongBook\SongBook.exe
Is that what you're chasing?

Ok, try this out:

Save the attached file, and import it on the Settings > Functions tab with Scripted Function > Import Scripted
Apply the settings
On the Triggers tab, add a new Trigger rule
Choose "Monitor Profile Changed" as the Trigger Event
Choose the 2 monitor profile as the Monitor Profile in the Match Conditions section
Click Add > Run Function, and choose the "Close SongBook" function
Apply the Settings and try it out

Hope that helps!
