Is there a way to have a program maximize windows, move windows to selected monitor, but have it's associated dialogs open on primary display?
For instance, when I open outlook, I have it going to a side monitor. But whenever I have dialogs or open an email in pop out mode, I want it on my primary (center screen).
Thank you,
You should be able to create 2 trigger rules. The first would be for "Window Created" and the frequency "Once-per process name" and "stop processing triggers if this one matches". Set this one to move the window to the secondary monitor and maximize. Then create another rule for "Window Created" and frequency "Always" that moves the other windows to the primary monitor.
The first rule should only run once when it first sees Outlook then the other rule should always run and catch everything else. Let me know how that works for you or if you have any questions. Thanks!

Thank you so much. That's helpful.
I have a glitch, though. I always open outlook with two windows, my email and a separate window as calander. When you exit outlook, and reopen, it remembers your settings and opens both windows with 1 instance.
With display fusion frequency of once per session, only one of the windows goes to side monitor, and other is in middle. is there a way around that?
What are the window titles for the main window and the Calendar window? It may be possible to create two Trigger rules that specify part of the window title so that you can leave the frequency on all windows, but still only have those two specific ones moved.

Inbox - my email address - outlook
Calendard - my email address - outlook
Ok, could you try creating two Trigger rules, both with "Window Created" as the Trigger Event, and Outlook as the application. For Window Text in one, put just "Inbox" and the other, just "Calendar".
Disable the other two Triggers you created and then test out a clean launch of Outlook.
