I apologize if this was posted here before. I searched but couldn't find a post. Over the last couple years, I've seen a few references to this and gotten a few messages about improving it. Since I'm fresh in this project again, I figured I'd make sure it was known about.
A couple years ago, I wanted FAHClient to automatically pause when certain applications were running. FAHClient didn't (and still doesn't) support this so I created something. The program is simple:
1) Browse for the application's executable
2) Pick the slots you want included
And that's it. Whenever you launch a program, FAHClient will pause. When the application exits, FAHClient will resume.

This is a Windows-only program. It's possible it'd run in WINE, but I haven't tested it. It's also possible to convert it to .NET Core, but I'd need Linux popularity to justify spending the time. Otherwise, I'm open to enhancements (as well as bug reports). (Be aware, my abilities go only as far as the FAHClient Telnet interface allows.)

Re: FAHControl+: Automatically pause when an app runs
I think it fills a gap in functionalities that will be appreciated by gamers !
Re: FAHControl+: Automatically pause when an app runs
If anyone wants this for Linux, I could make a small bash script that starts on boot as a service and pauses folding when a particular application runs.

Re: FAHControl+: Automatically pause when an app runs
This is not a built-in feature of the FAHClient for either Windows or Linux. We welcome the sharing of user-written add-ons.

Re: FAHControl+: Automatically pause when an app runs
Is this still working? I tried to get it to work, I can set it up and set the apps that I want to monitor for. But, it does not pause the folding. I am running Windows 11. The log shows Test connection was successful.
