Open on second monitor by default

Hello!
I'd like to know if it's possible to force Photoshop to open pictures on the second monitor by default.
Actually, I have 2 monitors, 1 for tools, 1 for fullscreen picture view.
On the "tools" monitor, toolboxes takes all the screen and pictures opens behind these toolboxes.
I ALWAYS move pictures fullscreen on the second monitor so I'd like to open them like this by default, but I don't find how...
(I'm currently on CS3 and trying CS4)
Thanks !

Hi
Same problem here with Ps CS4 :(
I also dual monitors, one for palettes and one for image viewing.
The one with the palettes also has the menubar (I'm on a Mac), so programs seem to think it as the main monitor, but for me the absolute free pixel height of the image monitor is paramount.
This is a step backwards for Photoshop the same thing happened a few versions ago to InDesign.
Illustrator CS3 is able to open windows to the same location where they were when closed InDy CS3 is not.
Both of then open new & previously un-opened (ones gotten from an another machine) under the menubar (id est, the wrong monitor for me)
Photoshop was in the previous versions able to open even the new (blank) documents on the "image" monitor no longer :( :(
Hope that the programmers will look into this, and include a fix into the updates...

  • How open Adobe Reader 9 in second monitor by default?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9.0 open always in my second monitor?
    With version 8 it was at least possible to open the first document on the second monitor if I had moved the window in an previous session to that monitor and closed it there. The second and following documents always were opened in the first monitor (annoying!).
    What I want is, that ALL documents always open in the second monitor. How can I manage this?

    I am also having this issue.
    First PDF opens on second monitor. Second one I open will open on main laptop monitor and 3,4,5 etc the same.
    Would like it to default full screen on second monitor for all PDF's.

  • Open Images on second monitor by default

    Though there are already quite a few threads on this issue
    (e.g. here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1648230#1648230; here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/369630?start=60&tstart=0 ; and here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/369928?start=15&tstart=0  );
    the behaviour of Photoshop CS4 to always open images on the main monitor by default still wasn't changed with the 11.0.1-Update.
    So my request is to simply reinvent the old behaviour all PS-Versions from (at least) PS 3.0 to CS3 had:
    open images by default on the monitor THE USER has decided to use as his/her PS-monitor (and not automatically on the System main monitor).

    Has this been fixed on Photoshop CS5?
    I'll be sticking with CS3 until we get back what used to be default...
    (bought CS4 Photoshop upgrade when it came out, went back to using CS3 after a while)

  • All dialogs open in second monitor

    I recently installed a second monitor to my Toshiba laptop and I am using the extended desktop using the built-in NVIDIA video card. Because of performance problems not related to the second monitor, I had to reformat my internal hard disk.
    After reinstalling LabVIEW 8.0.1 Development  Suite on an external drive, I found that  all the dialogs (those in LabVIEW, in my apps both compiled or run under labVIEW) opened on my second monitor. I checked the VI properties to make sure that the run-time window position was not set to the second monitor and I checked the NVIDIA video card settings to make sure that the dialogs were not set for the second monitor. I have no problem with any other applications such as Quicken.
    I then uninstalled LabVIEW and reinstalled on my internal hard disk. The dialogs still open in the second monitor. Does anyone know how to fox this?

    Is your front panel on monitor 1 (the one that you want the dialog to open on) or is it on monitor 2??  It seems that if you are using the default LabVIEW dialogs (in Dialog & User interface) it will open centered on your front panel.
    If you create your own custom dialog box, go into the Run-Time position and under the Position drop down box select "custom" and it will automatically set it to the current position.  (make sure that you have it on your first monitor already)

  • Firefox Opens on Second Monitor...Irritating

    I moved my FireFox browser window to the second monitor so I could watch a DVD on the iMAC.
    Now, the stooopid browser opens upu every time on the secondary monitor, not the iMAC primary.
    I've tried everything to get FF to open on the primary iMAC and it still insists on opening up in the secondary.
    Any ideas?...like disconnecting the second and restarting?

    Hi--
    I assume you've tried this, but it might not update its preferences until it's quit cleanly, so what happens if you open it, move it to your main monitor, then immediately quit? It should remember where it was and open there with the same sized window.
    Otherwise, the window settings are stored in a file called "localstore.rdf" in Firefox's folder. The easiest way to find it is to do a Spotlight search for "localstore.rdf." It's possible to have more than one of these files if you have other Mozilla browsers installed, so make sure you click the little "I" in your Spotlight search results (use "Show All" from the Spotlight menu) to confirm you're looking at the one in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/. You can reveal it from your Spotlight results by using the "command"-"r" key combo. Drag it to the desktop and launch Firefox and see where it comes up.
    You can also edit that file directly with a text editor if you want. Just don't do it while Firefox is running, as it'll overwrite your changes when you quit Firefox.

  • How to force Photoshop CC to open on Second Monitor in OS Mavericks?

    Can anyone share light on why Photoshop CC refuses to open on a second monitor?

    Do you really mean Photoshop 6 or Photoshop CS6? (Not that this should make a difference for the issue at hand.)
    What is your OS version?
    Have you tried trouble-shooting it (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, …)?

  • Firefox freezes when opened on secondary monitor using default profile. Other profile okay.

    Windows 7. Firefox 28.0. Hardware acceleration is off in both profiles.
    Default profile behaves normally in the primary monitor (I have two monitors). When I open the default in the secondary monitor, it appears to be at maximize size but only the top bar of the screen is visible. If I shrink it, it locks up, but I can slide it over to the primary monitor where it then works normally.
    If I open it in the primary monitor then move it to the secondary, it shows in a less than full screen. When I maximize it, a duplicate screen partially opens and both freeze, and menus freeze when I open them. I can slide it back to the primary where it works normally.
    My other profile is an old one with all the bookmarks, settings and history. It works fine on both monitors.

    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

  • Brand new w701ds crashes each time open second monitor

    Hello. Just got my new w701ds in the mail today, and everytime I open the second monitor (or boot with it open), I get the blue screen of death and it crashes. Of course, it can't be more disapointed then to buy a product for a specific feature, and then that feature does not work. Is this known? Is it a dud? Any ideas before I send it back?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Try to update all the hardware drivers and BIOS. For GPU and others, use drivers on Lenovo website to isolate the problems and check whether any 3rd party or oem driver causes this.
    2. If it doesn't work, you can call Lenovo Service Center and report a case and they will resolve the problems for you. If still unsatisfied after repair or something, you can consider to get a full refund according to Lenovo. (Within 30 days after purchase)
    I am not too sure how well is the service of Lenovo Customer Service at your region. Hopefully they can provide you an satisfactory services and fix your w701ds. AFAIK, W701ds is an flagship and awesome machine and Lenovo being the only one making a dual-screen mobile workstations, I don't think there will be other manufacturers making dual-screen mobile workstations.

  • Adobe Reader Fullscreen Preferences Second Monitor Only

    Hey, I'm trying to set adobe reader to open in fullscreen mode on my second monitor instead of whatever monitor it's currently displayed on. I've looked through preferences, but the options for which monitor to use are descriptors like this monitor, biggest, widest, etc. Even if these options did somehow help, it doesn't save my choice and immediately reverts back to the this monitor option. I don't want adobe reader to open on my second monitor, I only want full screen to go to my second monitor. This appears to be an option in preferences, but it's appearing less and less possible.

    I am also having this issue.
    First PDF opens on second monitor. Second one I open will open on main laptop monitor and 3,4,5 etc the same.
    Would like it to default full screen on second monitor for all PDF's.

  • On a Mac with two monitors, how do I get a new FF window to open on the second monitor? I can do this on a Windows XP box easily enough but on a Mac FF won't remember the position of a new window. Please help!

    I proof websites for a living and workflow is everything. On my 26" main monitor I have FF running the job tracking web site. In this site, there are links to the sites I need to proof.

    You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
    Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • How can I set the default window location in calendar to my second monitor?

    After installing Mavericks, Calendar always opens its windowed centered in my main monitor.  I move it to where I want it (upper left, second monitor) but when I quit the program, the location reverts to the original location.  Is there a .plist I need to edit?
    -Jeff

    The "quit calendar" fix does not endure after the next logout or restart.
    In System Preferences, in the Mission Control Pane, unchecking "Displays have separate spaces" causes the windowing behavior to revert to pre-Mavericks behavior.  Applications open in the previously used window.  Applications with windows on multiple monitors re-open with correctly located windows.  However, all the behavior reverts, so you can't run multiple full screen applications on different monitors, nor is there a tool bar at the top of secondary monitors.

  • Full screen playback on second monitor results in having to force quit Premier if a window opens on the second monitor.

    Run into this problem a few times now. If I have full screen playback going to my second monitor, and then I try to do something like link media and the link media window opens on that second monitor I can't figure out a way to get to it. I end up having to force quit. Because the link media window causes all other application buttons to disable while it is open I have not been able to find a solution other than force quitting, reopen and disable full screen playback, open link media window and move it to the other monitor and then again enable full screen playback.
    Has anyone run into this? Am I missing an easy solution?

    You need to set up your Graphics Card Application first eg A and B Monitors , side by side etc.
    In my case..a  NVidea Display Application does this from the Control Panel
    Then the second monitor will appear in display setting (Premiere).
    My second monitor is entirely dedicated to full screen playback display.

  • How do I set Firefox to open new windows in my second monitor?

    When opening a new window (by right clicking a link and selecting Open in New Window), I would like the window to be opened in my second monitor. Firefox used to do this, but randomly stopped. Now when I open a new window it is opened in my primary monitor. It does not open maximized (just short of being completely maximized). I have tried the fix I used before- moving the un-maximized browser to the second window, closing and re-opening the window. I have also tried moving the un-maximized browser, maximizing, closing and re-opening. Does anyone know how I can restore Firefox to open my new window in the second monitor?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Randomly

    Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
    ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.
