Hello, if I try to move an app, how can I get the name for the process to move? Tried it with different programms, only Essential PIM could moves with mv:EssentialPIM and the tool WInLister, mw:firefox e.g. failed. What went wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hello Friedrich,

first, sorry for the late answer.

I guess your trouble is to find the correct process to move. E.g. Firefox starts several processes to optimize web page rendering. You can only move the Firefox window to another desktop when you move the process that opened the window.

In PowerShell you can retrieve the processes to the Windows with the following command:

Get-Process |where {$_.mainWindowTItle} |format-table id,name,mainwindowtitle –AutoSize

(Source: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2009/05/22/get-windowtitle-ps1/)

Maybe that will help you find the correct process to move.

Dear

Markus
