Possibility to setup rules for automatic moving windows in to zones.

I think it might be a useful feature when newly opened window will be moved in to defined zone automatically. The rules for automatic moving can be applied based on process name (and/or window title, etc).
The rules can be applied when window is opened or by shortcut.
The rules can be disabled/enabled.
The layout should support import/export with all rules.

perhaps two menu items:

1. Record
2. Apply

Where record makes a record of what is in each zone, and apply takes that recording and looks for windows that match and moves them to their target zone.

There's a lot of questions about this, such as whether the specific zone should launch the app if it is not already running. But this could lead to a feature where you have "apply" automatically run on login, and all your apps start within their zone.

Thoughts?

Is it possible something like this? :)

These are great ideas but I do believe this is a work item / investigation item after v1.0. I think this will require a lot of thought on UX and actual implementation.

Ok, removing myself as assignee for now - let's identify the assignee when the feature is further thought out. Thanks.

I really would love the feature of moving windows based on rules especially based on window title. This would be very useful for handling multiple windows opened by the same process.

Closing this as duplicate of #348
Please add your comments there.
Thank you.

I don't think this is a duplicate of #348. That issues deals with automatically opening pre-defined apps on startup based on a layout, whereas this deals with using predefined rules to determine where to place apps that are manually opened during use.
