Assume 3 monitors: A, B, C with A being the Primary monitor. Each monitor has the Program X pinned to the task bar.

Case 1 involving the Primary monitor (faulty): Launch X on A, it opens on A. Then launch X on B, it opens on B. Then launch X again on A, it opens on B.
Case 1 expected result: Launch X on A, it opens on A. Then launch X on B, it opens on B. Then launch X again on A, it opens on A.

Case 2 involving only secondary monitors (correct): Launch X on B, it opens on B. Then launch X on C, it opens on C. Then launch X again on B, it opens on B.

This only occurs on Windows 10, I selected the option to replace the windows multi taskbar with DF's when installing. Version 9.3.

3 days ago I received some w10 upgrade.

From then on when I click/launch from main I get Browser on secondary.
I never launch from Secondary.
I may close from secondary.

Case:
DoubleClick on Desktop Browser icon ( main ) > open in secondary
Send it to main > Do a search > close Browser windows.
"Ouch! forgot to check.. !"

Re-DoubleClick on Desktop Browser icon ( main ) > re-open in secondary
Re-Send it to main > Do another search > close Browser windows.

Repeat Ad Libitum ... same result.

Bad quality video but it should give you an Idea ( you can even see mouse movements !!)

do you really use DF 8.1 rev2 ?

)
hopefully I did what you asked !

Check please while I test and report back...
....
Check done >>> see attached video.

Now the trigger do something like "remember" :

If you close a browser's window on a monitor,
then launching the browser's link from main >>> open browser in "last seen" monitor.
(before it was secondary wherever you last closed it)

It's a step...
.... but got another small W10 update this morning.... that could have also changed something.

Thanks !

Alain

#ver hahahaahaa! I thought so !! hahahaa

>> but please note: UI is different and that made me wondering what I'd been asked to do.

For instance I didn't add any action :-)

Now it seems correct... I will test it in a few minutes 'cause I have plenty of already opened windows!

Alain

No, nothing change.. it "remember" where last it was closed :-(

check new video

Done.

I will be able to check that at next restart I suppose...

gotcha!

Now it work as expected.... Thanks!

Alain

Well, I didn't get what I have to set up to open any application on primary display? Is "Mouse Cursor Monitor" a primary monitor?? I don't think so.

Thanks.

Hello Keith
I'm back with the same problem

I'll use the same solution.

Seems we've got a W10 recursive.... curse !!!!!

Alain

Update: solution still works


update 2: Working with some caveat - cannot minimize!!
Video attached

Update 3 : Modified "windows create" to "Process create"
- I obtain some random minimizes but otherwise unchanged from attached video.

Update 4 : Minimizing window's button " - " works normally, not taskbar's click

Update 5 : I suppose it chain with ["windows focused" to Primary]
- I cannot reorder the trigger's chain - Sorting out the offending command
- Disabled "send focused to primary" trigger - no problem
- No idea how to avoid instructions conflicts
- NOTE: Alt-Tabbing send progressively all windows to Primary
(how to avoid that as well?)

Thanks Keith !!
Here you are:

Your settings have been successfully exported.

1) Windows/Program will launch and appear only in Main (primary / #1)

2) When I click/activate any open windows on any screen it should be moved to main

Temporary WorkAround - after disabling 2)

Alt+Space move Windows next Monitor
Alt+X Move Windows previous Monitor

(I can activate a window via Click on it /or taskbar/ then Alt-Space it to main)
________________________________________________
WHY I do need that?

because sometime (3 out of 4) W10 returning from stand-by mix window's position...
.... usually all browser's windows end-up on #2 while Discord go in #3
usually that leave nothing on #1

*!*

even if everything was on #1 before stand-by!!
____________________________________________________
Getting them back in #1 is now quite easy:
Right hand= one click - Left hand= double Alt-Space

Hopefully I was able to describe the exact situation, but if not ask again !!

Thanks Alain

oh thanks,
I looked for that, couldnt find them !
(Set CTRL+Shift+S =save /CTRL+Shift+A =resume)

So I'd already set something but not so easy-to-use (see pic)
The issue with both your and mine solution is: It's not dynamic.
And that was what I was trying to obtain.

I know it's easier when you knowingly "leave your desk"
but in my unusual situation there is "no desk" here...
so... (I've set stand-by in 22 minutes)
BUT
I dont know the returning time when I'll leave alone the PC...
door bells, phone calls, etc.. are the main reasons to make me move,
may be chained with something else on the fly :-)
then I stay out of the room for an unespected amount of time.

So thanks.
That suggestion will be precious, easier way to save/resume positions!!!

Alain

Wow!
right the info I was in need !!

Thanks a lot

Alain
