Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I use this program for watching multiple video feeds with VLC next to each another.
I currently have 4 zones.
It'd be great if I could automatically fill my feed at the assigned position from 1 to 4, every time I start an instance of VLC, without having to move the windows there manually.
There could also be an argument requiring the path of the application to make sure only a specific application (VLC in my case) is linked and dragged to those zones (excluding others)
So that every app can be linked to a specific window position of a specific profile (without having to switch profile and having to drag them manually to set their position)
Also, an "Always on Top" check box would be nice to prevent some windows from going in the background unless minimized.

we have an 'always on top' feature request, not integrated with FancyZones.

For the auto-placement, not a bad idea but it gets super complex super quick. I fear that would be death by a thousand different ways to create windows and if we could programmatically a window from a past session with a new session and know that they were the same.
