Moving Window / Opening App -- on a secondary display?

[Livin]

I'd love for EG to force an app/window to move to or open on a specific display.

Anyone done this or know how to?

Into action Window - Move Absolute I added the ability to change the monitor.
I hope it works as expected.
Place the attached file into the directory ...\plugins\Window.
If it turns out that the improvements are worth, I will put the file into the SVN repository.

I do not see a way to config it to tell it which display to send it to?

Also, when I add the Action it throws these errors...

Code: Select all

I'm sorry. When I tried it, I've never not add a new action.
Try a corrected version:

__init__.py

Plugin Window - corrected version.

Did some testing... so far so good. I'm using it exclusively now and have removed the 3rd party app I was using so if anything changes I'll let you know.

What would be a nice is to combine this into FindWindow.

IMO all Window manipulations/functions (open, close, move, etc) should simply be in one Action - "find" is always required for all of them anyway - even open as in most cases (not all) you do not want to open the same app twice.
