console.log('Window state:', state);

if (state === 'maximized') {
    console.log('Window is maximized');
}

Check before operation

// Only perform action if window is visible
const state = await web.window.getState();

if (state !== 'minimized') {
    // Window is visible, safe to show dialog
    await web.dialogs.openFile({
        title: 'Select File'
