Restore Layout of multiple windows of the same app

[LeonardoGentile]

I have saved a layout where I have 4 finder windows arranged in a quadrant. Each window is opened at a specific path.

I'm not sure Rectangular can save this information and restore the finder windows each for the their specified path.

Anyway, I was able to do this with Bunch:

• I launch 4 finder windows
• Each window is opened at a specific path
• From bunch I tell Rectangle to execute my saved layout with rectangle-pro://execute-layout?name=finder-quadrant

This does the job but now the windows are not in the order I saved them.

Is there any way to save this information? Meaning, each finder window opened at a specific path should be moved to a specific corner of my screen

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback! I have this item on the backlog, but just haven't made it there yet.

@rxhanson Any ETA on this? :) I have 6 different Chrome windows, and it does not work with a use case like that unfortunately.. (Using 2 external monitors as well as the MacBook screen itself)

No ETA at the moment. Hopefully soon!

+1 For this feature also. ;-) I have a few applications I use multiple instances of (e.g. open -n)

Currently I'm using variations of this AppleScript to open multiple instances of an app and sending key codes to trigger their shortcut positions.

tell application "System Events"
	repeat with i in {18, 19, 20, 21} 
		do shell script "open -n -a '<Application Name>'"
		delay 1
		key code i using {control down, option down, command down}
	end repeat
end tell

ping! Any updates? :)

Ok, finally got a chance to work on fixing this issue. In the latest version, 3.0.19, windows should be saved and restored correctly, but you'll have to re-create your app layouts, unfortunately.
