Sure, there are two ways you can do this.
1. Exclude by using an application
Create an application in S+ and use the Owner/Parent/Control Class Name Pattern or File Name Pattern field (whichever applies) and enter a regular expression pattern to exclude the class/file.
For example, this would execute for any window which doesn't have an owner class of "Notepad" (the actual owner class for Notepad):
Owner Class Name Pattern: ^(?!Notepad).*$
Or to exclude based on the EXE name:
File Name Pattern: ^(?!notepad.exe).*$
So if you executed an action over any window except Notepad, the action would fire. Keep in mind that if you draw over Notepad, that S+ will check the Global Actions to see if you have an action which matches (gesture/modifiers) and fire it.
2. Exclude within a Global Action
In the Global Action, check for the class/file name and if it's a certain value, don't run the script:
By Owner Class Name:if acGetClassName(acGetOwnerWindowByPoint(gsx,gsy)) ~= "Notepad" then
acActivateWindow(nil, gsx, gsy, 0)
acMaximizeOrRestoreWindow(nil,gsx, gsy)
end
Or by File Name:if acGetExecutableName(acGetOwnerWindowByPoint(gsx,gsy)) ~= "notepad.exe" then
acActivateWindow(nil, gsx, gsy, 0)
acMaximizeOrRestoreWindow(nil,gsx, gsy)
end
Specify 'Except' in Owner Class Definition
