Greetings how would I go about opening a program in an already given desktop

Hello @MichaelOdumosu57,

this is not the first request for this feature. I'm sorry I have to reject it.

The Windows API does not have an option for this so implementing would mean "start application, wait that application has started (whenever this is), move application to chosen desktop" or "switch to chosen desktop, start the application there, wait that application has started (whenever this is), switch back".

Besides the flickering of the screen there are so many options to start a program and so many failures that can happen in this procedure (think of complicated applications like chrome) that I'm not willing to support this.

You might look at the wrapper script of @SuperflyJon (https://github.com/SuperflyJon/FileStarter) or write the code by yourself (it is not difficult for "easy" programs).

Greetings

Markus
