I use (not very often) the "Frontmost Windows in Quarters" and "Frontmost Windows Side By Side" actions. The "Frontmost Windows in Quarters" is working as expected. But the actions "Frontmost Windows Side By Side (First Left)" and "Frontmost Windows Side By Side (First Right)" are not working as e…

Mh they have been working fine here for years (I think even on macOS 15) However in your recent video about the virtual side screens, you had this translucent overlay appear that didn't belong to the virtual side screen feature. I think such translucent windows could prevent this from working corre…

Running BTT 6,978: I found that the translucent window that was appearing in the side screen was the window of HazeOver. Also this window from HazeOver was interacing with the "Frontmost Windows Side By Side" action, causing the issue I posted. Interestingly, this HazeOver window is NOT interacin…

ah, that sounds like a bug in HazeOver then. BTT can only apply some workarounds, but as this will affect tons of other things as well, it would be much better if HazeOver applied a fix to exclude that window from Accessibility

yeah, that makes sense. I will contact them for this issue now. I will tell you what they say. Thanks.

[image] jordikt: The "Frontmost Windows Side By Side" action only resizes and moves the first two windows of the frontmost app. I mean that the rest of opened windows (3rd,4th,etc) are not moved and not resized. Is this by design? Did you notice this? Is it correct this behaviour compared to …

I am not sure whether I understand, the side by side one takes the first two windows, the quarters one takes the first four windows - regardless of app (at least that’s how it should be)

Scenario 1: There are 5 small Finder windows in the center of the screen I trigger the "Frontmost Windows Side By Side" action The first two windows are moved and resized The other three windows remains small in the center of the screen Scenario 2: There are 5 small Finder windows in the center…

I have thought that could be handy to add a dropdown menu to configure the behaviour of both actions. For "Frontmost Windows Side By Side" action: option1 - only move and resize the first two windows option2 - move and resize all windows For "Frontmost Windows in Quarters" action: option1 - o…

I don’t think this behavior you describe exists :grimacing: at least not here. The quarters action also only uses the frontmost 4 windows

You're right, I got mixed up. In the tests I ran with 5 Finder windows, the fifth window was already positioned in one of the quadrants. That’s what threw me off. Sorry for the trouble! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Absolutely, that would be really useful (at least for me!)

Yesterday I was thinking about a new action: a "smart window resizer."

I’ve posted it as a feature request.
