<p dir="auto">I've been using f.lux on a daily basis for many years and have quite a few applications in the exception list - mostly games and image editing software. I'm really grateful for this lightweight, eye-saving software masterpiece. So to the f.lux developers: thank you very much!</p>
<p dir="auto">Recently, I started playing Where Winds Meet and ran into an issue: f.lux doesn’t detect the game application when I open the menu and select "Disable when using…". Instead of the game title, Windows "Search application" is shown there.</p>
<p dir="auto">As I discovered using Process Explorer, the game's executable file doesn't have a correct image name, which seems to be the reason why f.lux can’t recognize it and add it properly to the list.<br />
Just compare these two screenshots to see the issue:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1767858906540-316010b0-79ae-44ce-b78b-41e3e4e4f77a-image.png" alt="316010b0-79ae-44ce-b78b-41e3e4e4f77a-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1767858703130-00ea1b53-db6e-4774-b656-a73f275921db-image.png" alt="00ea1b53-db6e-4774-b656-a73f275921db-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">So I'd like to ask whether there are any workarounds to add the game manually.</p>
<p dir="auto">P.S. I tried adding the .exe name and the application window title manually to the registry and restarting f.lux<br />
(HKCU\SOFTWARE\Michael Herf\flux\Preferences\disabled), but neither helped. The item does appear in the exception list menu, but it doesn't actually work. I suspect that f.lux requires the image name specifically to detect that the application is running.</p>
