I have several Firefox windows I want handled differntly than the rest which are maximized.

1) Is there a way to put priority on the entries in a postion profile editor? How are multiple matching conditions handled by order of entries or most-specific wins?
2) The window titles are dynamic, so can I use a pattern to match? Either simple wildcard or regex supported?

I tried looking over documentation and searches, but came up empty.

Apologies for the delayed response!

The Window Position Profiles aren't meant to have multiple entries that would match the same window, so you'd want to avoid that by adding conditions to the rules to make sure they're including/excluding the correct windows.

The Window Text field uses our text query engine, so it's a "contains" match, but you can also do things like
firefox +gmail
or
chrome -reddit
to make them more specific. More details on the available syntax and a test tool are here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Faq/TextQuerySyntax/

If you run into any trouble tweaking your profile entries, definitely let me know and I'll be glad to help out.

Thanks!

@Keith - From my testing it looks like the `Process Filename` doesn't do pattern matching, only Window Text

This is a big shortcoming because lots of programs these days (Microsoft Teams, Github Desktop, Opera browser, many more) install their executable into new versioned folders whenever they update. This means it's impossible to use the `Process Filename` to match, unless we can use patterns.

C:\Program Files\Opera\127.0.5778.14\opera.exe
C:\Program Files\Opera\126.0.5750.59"\opera.exe
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.4\GitHubDesktop.exe
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_25332.1210.4188.1171_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe

Matching the pattern "ms-teams.exe" would avoid these unstable installers.

Is there a reason you don't allow match on `Process Filename`? Can you add this ability - it would be VERY helpful as more apps take this strategy!

Process Filename doesn't use BFTextQuery but does allow wildcards, so you can do:
*ms-teams.exe

Ah-ha! Perfect.

BTW, I think you need to update your help links in the app, which partially explains why I didn't see the right help section in FAQs. The 2 (?) button links by WindowClass & WindowText are wrong:
Currently points to: displayfusion.com/FAQ/?Version=12.0.1.0#TextQueries
Should point to: displayfusion.com/FAQ/?Version=12.0.1.0#TextQuerySyntax

Better yet, just point people directly to the syntax page: https://www.displayfusion.com/Faq/TextQuerySyntax/
It might be nice to add the note about ProcessFilename allowing wildcards but not BFTextQuery ;)
