You define matching rules -- the program matches based on window title, program file name, and window class -- the actions and advanced options.
Actions define window position, size, state, and other related variables. Use the get, set and pick options, or enter values manually to get started. Get pulls the current position, state, and size and enters the values automatically.
Set enforces the rules so that you can verify them. WindowManager may lock size, position and state of any window, enforce that the window is always visible on the screen and not moved outside of it.
Other options include setting the window to be always on top or at the bottom. Advanced options let you set commands that you want execute on window open and close. The commands include clicking, moving, or typing text into the window when it opens or closes. Once you have configured rules you can save them to the profile.
The rules are enforced automatically when WindowManager runs and matching program windows get opened or closed on the system. WindowManager supports a sophisticated triggering system to enforce rules automatically or manually. Set a hotkey for all windows of a profile or the active one to quickly enforce rules to display it in a certain position and with a certain size and state on the screen. The program supports screen triggers to apply rules when the screen resolution changes, session triggers which activate during logon, logoff, or connect operations, power and time triggers.
The screen trigger could prove useful to users who use multiple monitors on their device or connect their computer to different monitors regularly. WindowManager worked with any program window I set custom rules for. It resolved the issue with Firefox on my system but worked with Windows Explorer, Thunderbird, and any other program window that I tried it with as well. It even worked with dialog windows. The program supports profiles that you can switch between and other nice to have features such as silent deployment options, or multi-monitor support.
You may buy the "lifetime free upgrades" to include all future upgrades; if you don't, only minor version upgrades and one year of major version upgrades are included. You can check out WindowPadX which supports moving and resizing windows among many other things.
If it is just the window state you are after, check out Auto Window Manager instead. Very frustating I agree. Is there any free tool that automatically saves and restores the window size and position? It seems all these softwares require you to specify the size and location correct?
In general, the old trick still works—open any program, hold the Shift key down, resize the window accordingly, and close the program. When opened again, the general rule, is it will open exactly as one resized it. All this other stuff.
Even Windows Explorer and Office suffers from this from time to time. Annoying to say the least. I use WindowManager, and have done for over a year. I also use ShellFolderFix, and the two complement each other. My impression is that this started to happen around Windows 8. Why on earth would you want to close a window, only to find that when you open it again…. WM works well for me mostly, and I blocked it calling home in my firewall, soon as I spotted it had that behavior.
Really annoys me that something as basic as remembering a screen position, necessitates third party software, when earlier versions of Windows, managed perfectly well in this regard. So this has been a very annoying habit of Microsoft, for years!!! Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. How do I get Windows 10 to remember a window's size and position? Moved from IE I have the same question Report abuse.
