Every upscaled app is replaced by magpie executable name

Question 问题

Hello and thank you for your amazing work!

I'm using Magpie with an handheld PC and I have absolutely no issue, apart from the fact that once magpie is upscaling a certain application, the application's process is recognized as magpie's executable name.
I'm noticing it only because I'm using HandheldCompanion and, to create a profile for a certain app, it look for what process is running. If every app that I'm upscaling is recognized as magpie.exe, I can't create different profiles for different upscaled apps.

Is it possible to have some sort of API, or something similar from Magpie, to inform other application which game Magpie is upscaling?

Sorry for my english! Also is there any other way to contact you? A Discord server to discuss with people about Magpie would be a really nice way!

Hello, thank you for the feedback.

Magpie creates a full-screen window during scaling, which may be the reason for HandheldCompanion's misrecognization. As I don't have a handheld PC, I cannot reproduce this issue. You may want to provide feedback to HandheldCompanion regarding this issue.

You only need to check the foreground window, as Magpie can only scale the foreground window. If you want to check if Magpie is currently scaling a window, you should look for the window with the class name Window_Magpie_967EB565-6F73-4E94-AE53-00CC42592A22.

Just send me an email. I don't use Discord, so feel free to ask any questions on Github, and I'll do my best to help you out :)

@Blinue thanks for the answers and feedback. Indeed this is not a Magpie issue but your information is helpful.
