Center Window On Program Start?

[TsunamiZ]

Is there a way to make a macro to center a specific program's window on-screen when that program starts? So the macro will be auto triggered by the starting of the specified program? Thanks.

Whats the matter, Joe? Don't you speak Tsunaminese????

 

Yes, there is a way. When creating a Macro, under activation type, choose "Window" and put in the top title bar name of the window of the program that you want it activated on. In the commands of the macro is where you will put your code for centering the window.

Got it. But how can I have the centering only happen 1 time after the program is loaded? Instead of having it recentered on its own if I decide to move it and switch program focus.

Is there a way to have the macro be triggered by the program's .exe file instead? Otherwise, there is a conflict with other programs that display the same word as in the windows title.

If centering by windows title, is there a way to make it do that to the window faster? Currently there is about a 1 sec delay before that happens after the window loads. Thanks.

Change the Delay in Seconds value to zero under the Advanced tab of the Activate/Launch Program dialog.

but im using 'window reposition' not 'activate or launch' ...

I based my answer on what you wrote above. The one-second delay after the window launches, and before any other command is run (such as Window Reposition), is on the Advanced tab.
