3.2.1 Saving and restoring the target window
When you close the process or the corresponding window selected in the software,
the program loses the connection to the window, until you manually select a new
window again.
If you want the program to remember the target window by some specific properties
and restore the target window upon restart, you have to define those properties.
There are three ways how a target window can be identified:

Process name (selected application):
The name of the process / name of the executable file of the target
application. A filter based on this property cannot distinguish between different
instances of the same application.

Window class:
The programmer of an application can assign a window “class” to a window.
This window class is often more specific than the name of the application.

Window title:
The text in the title of a window. The title often changes depending on the
current state of the target application. Excel, for example, includes the name
of the currently opened document in the window title.
The text required to be matched by one of those criteria is defined in the
corresponding textbox:
To enable filtering by a property, click on the disk symbol next to the textbox.
An active filter is displayed with a green disk symbol.
After activating a filter, you can adjust the filter text in the textbox.
As an example, the following entry matches all windows, whose title contains the
word “Measurement”, regardless of which program owns the window (Microsoft Excel
or Word).
