Toggling process, rather than window

Is it possible to toggle the process, rather than window? Photoshop for example, has window name based on file name

I don't suppose it would go something like this?

Code: Select all

If WinExist("Photoshop.exe")
	WinActivate
Else
	WinMinimize

Did you try looking for the files manually, Oblomov?

There are several possibilities. I suggest you study the following AutoHotkey commands:

Thanks!

This worked for me

Code: Select all

if WinExist("ahk_exe Photoshop.exe")
    WinActivate, ahk_exe Photoshop.exe
else ;needs to be reworked
    WinMinimize, A
Not really sure how to get it to minimize once toggled, however 🤔

Doesn't seem to be of much help
