Launching LibreWolf Pid trouble

[PuzzledGreatly]

LibreWolf portable won't launch in a maximized state. So I tried the following:

Code: Select all

run, C:\PortableApps\LibreWolf\LibreWolf-Portable.exe,,, LWpid
winwait ahk_pid %LWpid%
soundbeep
sleep 1000
winmaximize, ahk_pid %LWpid%

^+home:: winmaximize, a
^+p:: winmaximize, ahk_pid %LWpid%

I never hear the soundbeep and the ^+p hotkey doesn't work but the ^+home one does. How can I maximize the LibreWolf window without having to use a hotkey? Thanks

If you're not sure of your variables' values, display them. That will point you to the problem in your script, although you already know that the problem is on line 2, since you said that the problem occurs between line 1 and line 3.

You could try something like this.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
app := "C:\PortableApps\LibreWolf\LibreWolf-Portable.exe"
; app := A_WinDir "\System32\notepad.exe"
Run % app
WinWaitActive % "ahk_exe" app,, 10
If !ErrorLevel {
 WinMaximize
 SoundBeep 1500
} Else MsgBox 48, Error, An error occurred while waiting for the window.

Thanks, I ran your script and got the error message, but by that time LibreWolf had launched.

My hunch would be that your portable EXE runs another EXE. If you run Window Spy, you will be able to see the WinTitle of the program itself.
