Description of the new feature / enhancement

The fancy zones "remember last zone" feature can't differentiate between parent and child windows.
I made five zones to surround a center rectangle zone for save/load dialog boxes. So they are nice and chunky and at the center of my screen. I just hold shift and drag them to the middle. Works very good.

But I can't make fancy zones "remember last window position" because it also forces parent windows to that box when loading programs. So I have to do the same shift + drag over and over again for every child dialog box, instead of them just remembering their fancy zone position, and the parent window being unaffected (usually maximized on boot up).

My picture is an example of my full screened google chrome right now (parent window). If I go to save a picture I have to Shift + drag the dialog and release and the result is the size and position that you see in the pic. (I blurred all my info). So if the dialog windows could just open like that (child windows remember their last state but not parents) that would be excellent.
Example
Last Known Zones

Scenario when this would be used?

Every time you use a dialog box in any program that Power Toys can manage the windows.

Supporting information

Windows 10 22H2 64 bit, Power Toys latest update.
