CS5; Image always opens on last monitor used instead of main monitor

This problem is back. In CS4, when you opened an image it would always open on your main monitor regardless of which monitor you closed your last image. I have three monitors running and this is really annoying. CS4 was the only version I know of that didn't do this. I wish CS5 didn't do this. Dare I wish they would return to way it works in CS4?

Opening a new document on the last used monitor is as designed. When the behavior changed to always use the main monitor in CS4, we got a number of requests to return to the old behavior.
If you have a document open on your main monitor and your secondary monitor and then close the document on the secondary monitor, then a new document will open on the main monitor, so a possible (although not great) work around for you is to have a small "dummy" document open on the main monitor.

  • Dual monitor - force new windows to always open on primary monitor?

    I use my secondary monitor to watch streaming TV in internet browser windows.  When I have finished watching streaming TV and the secondary monitor is switched off, Safari still opens new browser windows on the secondary monitor by default (presumably due to the fact that the last active browser window was open on the secondary monitor).  This is irritating and means I have to switch the secondary monitor back on to drag the new browser window back to the primary display.  The secondary monitor is connected by VGA.
    This is a minor niggle, rather than a major issue, but it is irritating nevertheless!  Does anyone know if there is a way to force new windows to always open on primary monitor, regardless of where the last active window was?
    Any help much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    After many days i found solution:
    Run the client and get it set up the way you prefer, or Open your saved RDP file
    On the Display tab, choose a non-fullscreen resolution.
    On the General tab, click "delete these credentials", if possible.
    Click Connect .
    You will immediately get a local login dialog. Leave it blank and click
    OK .
    When you are connected and the remote login dialog appears, drag the window to the desired monitor.
    On the remote login dialog, click Cancel . The settings dialog should reappear locally.
    On the Display tab, you can now choose fullscreen.
    You can now save your session with the Save button on the
    General tab, as well as save your login credentials.
    Try more times ,worked for me.

  • Why Firefox always opens with last session tabs?

    When I open firefox always opens with last session tabs? How can I fix it?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

    When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened.  Is there a way to start on the homepage?

    That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep.  What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent.  Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion.  I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

  • Windows CS6 "save as" action always defaults to last save place instead of saving where action is intended to. Please help

    Hi all,
    I am using CS6 64bit on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine at work. I have used Macs here for years and never had this problem but when I create an action that is designed to "save as" (because I must change the file name) a single file into a specific directory on the network Photoshop always defaults to saving into the last place I saved instead of saving into the place where the action tells it to save to. The action contains 2 saves and then a close and only the first save brings up the dialogue so we can change the name of the file. That dialogue box always contains the last save location instead of the desired location the action is intended to save to. The second save always goes to the correct place and the close works fine.
    The only time this does not happen is when Photoshop is first launched. In that case when I click the action it always tries to save into the original folder on the network where I opened the file from.
    I have already unchecked the box in preferences for "save as to original folder" and do not know what else to try.
    Previously on Macs I have never experienced this issue at all. I have been opening files on my network and saving them to other network directories for years over many different versions of Photoshop on a Mac and not once have I had an issue. Is it a PC thing? Is there something else I can try? I need to deploy these PC's to employees and can not do so unless this action works as we process high volumes of images and do not have the time to navigate manually to each directory we must save in.

    Welcome to the club! I hate that but live with it.
    When I download from the camera, Photoshop Bridge generates a folder according to the date shot, say 20141212. The images then are 20141212_1 to 20141212_xxx; whatever the final count is from the download. But let's say I rename the image or perhaps have a Photomerge of several frames. Then the connection is lost and Photoshop reverts to the last folder before the current one. So one has to watch to steer that "Save As" to the one you want, in this case 20141212. However, after that occurs, subsequent Saves will go to folder, 20141212. (because it is now the last one)
    The principle I follow is that if the folder with the images is new, I am careful with "Save As" if the file I am saving is not directly connected with that folder"s numbering system.

  • FF always opens in 2nd monitor

    I have dual monitors and occasionally set my 2nd monitor as the primary when testing software. On reverting back to use my 1st monitor as primary (using display settings) I find FF disregards the changed setting and always opens on the second monitor. Reboot does not resolve the problem. All other apps open in primary.
    Any way to resolve this?

    Maybe it was fixed in newer versions of Firefox? You are using Firefox 3.5.
    If you see that Firefox 3.6 has the same problem, read [https://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/basic+troubleshooting this] and, if you see it's a bug with Firefox, file a bug at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla], if it hasn't been filed before.

  • Logic always opens on 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    I am using Logic Studio 9.0.1 under SnowLeopard. I have the annoying problem that my Logic always opens on my 2nd monitor, even when I create a new project.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Check to make sure that your 2nd monitor is not setup as the primary monitor. I have 2 monitors as well and primary is on my left and 2nd on right. Take a look in the system pref to see if thats the case. have you tried swaping the cables on the video card?

  • Images not opening on external monitors correctly

    I having an issue with CC.
    When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
    I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
    So to be clear when opening on the retina display it open with a full image preview. When opening on a second monitor either apple display with Thunderbolt or Eizo with HDMI it errors to this.
    I have also tested this on a friends machine and his does not have the same probelm with identical set-up.
    Any help would be apprecaited.

    Thank you JJMack after your recommendation I looked into that. I need images to open according to my screen. It is most likely a bug in the software. I am not sure if it is photoshop or my current versions of Maverics on my mac. The script is limitied on what I can tell it to do. I have also tried re-installing software. Something is just off. Thanks for your idea. I didn't know that existed so helpful regardless if it solved my issue.

  • Why do applications always open the last document or page viewed?

    I love my Mac.  But since I got my new iMac and OS Lion, I've had a hard time with one option and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
    When I open Excel, it opens the last document viewed.  Even when I click on a new document, it still opens the last document.  When I open Safari, it takes me to the last page viewed.  Its very annoying, probably useful to someone other then me. How do I turn this feature off?
    Thanks
    Jim

    That is part of Resume, a feature that re-opens the documents that were open when you quit.
    You can turn it off system-wide in the General System Preferences.
    On a per-app basis, you can only use the cmd-option-q shortcut or menu to close all windows and quit.

  • Why does safari re-open my last visited page instead of my homepage? I have the preferences set to always open to homepage in new tabs or windows or upon starting safaring.

    Why does Safari open my last visited page?? I have gone into preferences and said to open to homepage when starting safaring or opening a new tab yet each time it opens to the last page I visited.

      Hold down "shift" key and launch Safari
      or hold down "option" key before quitting Safari to discard saved windows from previous session.
    Disable Resume feature.
    10.7 Lion
    System Preferences > General
    Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    10.8 Mountain Lion
    System Prefernces > General
    Chckmark the box next to "Close windows when quitting an application".
