Hi guys,
when using Keith's Minimize Windows on Current Monitor scripted function, it works just fine, except that the window of UAD Console.exe, a monitoring app by audio company Universal Audio, refuses to do anything. It's a JUCE window, maybe that has something to do it? Could that be added to the script?
Cheers y'all!
It could be that DisplayFusion doesn't see it as a real window and is ignoring it. Is there somewhere that I can get a trial version of that application to test with here?
Thanks!

Good question. It comes with their hardware (audio interfaces) for I/O configuration, so typically nobody needs a trial.
Go to https://builds.uaudio.com/apps/uad2/UAD_11_7_1_175110.zip, see if that works.
If not, try going to https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/215267203-UAD-Software-Archives, do a "Ctrl+F" for "UAD 11.7.1" and click the arrow thingy next to "Windows". That should download a 3.04 GB file called "UAD_11_7_1_175110.zip".
I'm on Windows 10 Pro, 22H2 latest, by the way. My UAD Console version is 1.2.8, but you can't download that as you probably already figured out ... We're dealing with a paranoid and controlling audio company here.
Let me know if I can help in some other way if that doesn't work!
Thank you so much!

So, how's your journey into pro audio coming along, Keith?

Got it,seems like one really has to have the hardware to run the software.
File attached! Thanks!

Thanks! DisplayFusion sees it as a normal window, so it shouldn't be ignoring it then. If you hover that window's taskbar button, then right-click the window preview and choose Minimize from the context menu, does it minimize?

The right-click menu's options like "minimize" are grayed out. Right-clicking the window's title bar doesn't even bring up that menu, as it usually does on other windows. Note it has "its own" min., max., close buttons there. It's like they developed it for another OS and half-heartedly ported it or something. I'm getting the feeling I'm unjustly asking you to clean up their mess. I just assumed you'd shoot me a couple lines I could add to your script and call it a day, sorry.

No worries at all! That would explain why the script can't minimize it. They've specified in the app code that it should have minimize disabled, so when we send the call to the window to minimize, it just gets ignored. Sounds like they must just hide the window when you click their custom minimize button.
Unfortunately there isn't really anything we can do there, sorry!

With the attached AHKv2 script, I can minimize UAD Console with the same hotkey I use for your script, Keith. It didn't minimize when I only told AHK the ahk_exe name, but once I added the window title, it worked.
Also, I noticed the web browser Vivaldi didn't respond to your script, too. That one works with AHK too. I've attached its Window Inspector file, in case you wanna take a look.
Is your script Thomas Malloch's Minimize/Restore Windows on Current Monitor with the restore function taken out or is it written differently?
Originally, I was looking for Win+D functionality, but only on the current monitor, but I overlooked Thomas' script and thought yours was my best bet. His added restore functionality would practically give me what I was after to begin with, but I thought I'd ask, to save myself more trouble. I also can't judge if it's maybe too old, being from 2015 ... Thanks!
