One character apart: table or lobby
The PMU client is built on Qt, and it distinguishes its own windows in a way that is easy to miss. A table window carries the class Qt693QWindowIcon. The lobby carries Qt693QWindow — the same name without the Icon suffix.
Seatify keys off exactly that. A window whose class ends in Icon is treated as a table; the bare form is treated as a lobby and sent to your lobby slot. Without that distinction the PMU lobby would land in a table position on every session, which is the kind of small wrongness that makes a tiler more annoying than useful.

PMU and Winamax in one layout
Most PMU players do not play PMU alone. Because detection works window by window rather than application by application, a session mixing PMU with Winamax or another room is not a special mode: every table found goes into the same layout, in the order the slots were defined.
The French client is handled throughout, not just in the room name. Lobby detection covers “pmu poker” and “pmu play”, and the replayer markers include the French forms — historique, rejoueur — so a hand you are reviewing does not get tiled as a table.

When the client updates: Seatify Engine
Every detection rule above describes how the client behaves today. Rooms change their windows without notice, and historically that meant a broken layout until our next release.
Seatify Engine removes that wait. When a window stops being recognised, you open the Table Manager, point at it, and say what it is — a table, a lobby, a waiting room, a replayer or a railed table. The rule is saved on your machine and applies immediately.
You can then share it with one click. Once reviewed, it joins the set every installation can fetch, so the first player to hit a change fixes it for everyone. Downloaded rules are cryptographically signed and verified before being applied, and your own rules always outrank them. A shared rule carries the shape of a window title and nothing else: no tournament numbers, no stakes, no player names. It is available during the free trial too.
How it runs on your machine
Seatify Pro reads the properties Windows already exposes for every open window — its title, its class name, its size and position — and moves windows using the same Windows APIs any window manager uses. It never attaches to the poker client, never reads its memory, and never touches the cards or the action.
That boundary is deliberate and it is what keeps the tool inside room rules. A table manager that injected into the client would be both a security risk and a banning risk, and no amount of convenience is worth either.
