Drag windows across two screens?

SO newbie to MOTION 5 = how can I set up a custom layout for workspace? I want to drag this or that window and place across my two screens...

Motion is only one window, not several separate windows. You can go to the Window menu and set it to show either the Canvas or the Timing Pane on the second monitor.

Does the iPad3 support external monitors, allowing you to scan across two screens?

Does the iPad3 support external monitors, allowing you to scan across two screens?

Some apps, such as Keynote, support different displays on the iPad screen and an external display. The iPad does not span it's "desktop" across screens, though; it only mirrors.

Can't drag windows across desktops

Since upgrading to Mavericks I am no longer able to drag/move application windows to adjacent desktops. The only way to do it now it to move applications around in Mission Control which feels very cumbersome and un-intuative. Is this a "feature" now or is there a hidden setting somewhere that will allow me tobe able to do this again?

The default in preferences GENERAL is "open folders in tabs instead of new windows"
UNCHECK this
then when you hold down CMD + double click you get a NEW WINDOW!
unless that box is unchecked, youll only get a new TAB

Playing movie full-screen across two monitors?

I have a PC with a pair of 800x600 monitors side-by-side for a dual-monitor desktop. I want to play a very wide (1600x600) QuickTime movie fullscreen across them both (not simply mirrored), with no window border or Windows taskbar visible. But when I click the zoom box for the movie window, it resizes the window to one display, so that it doesn't touch the other display at all.
I'm not currently using QuickTime Pro; will paying for that upgrade allow me to play a movie "Full Screen" across two screens, or will that still limit the movie to one screen?
Is there any other way for me to play the movie across two displays? (Again, not mirrored - the movie is wide enough to fit both displays.) Is there some other QuickTime movie player that'll do this for me?
(The movie is a pair of eyes looking back and forth. It's for a Halloween display, one monitor per eye.)

I had an older version of VLC and it did not work but I tried the beta version of 0.8.4test1a and it plays everything from h.264,mpeg4,mpeg2,avi,vob,wmv and a few more. The only other things I know I have done is that I have the pro version of quicktime 7.0.3 and I have a codec pack from ColeMedia Codec Pack from http://www.cole2k.net/ other than that I don't know what else I did that made it work.

Dragging window around

Hi, I'm trying to drag around the main scene for the program, the stage is undecorated, so no border.
I'm basically using:
scene.getWindow().setX(across);
scene.getWindow().setY(down);
And this works fine, but also, I have a background (An ImageView added to the scene, that I would like to update as the window us moved).
The background is basically a screenshot of the desktop (I'm using this instead of null fill on the stage, since a transparent stage give choppy results).
So next I do...
setViewport(rect);
Where Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D(across, down, s, s);
This works "okay", but when dragging the stage, its usually out of sync,
As if it can't update the viewport in time with the motion of the window across the screen.
I've tried using threads, and platform.runLater, but I can't really get it to work without going out of sync.
Any ideas, thanks.

It's hard to imagine the overhead of manipulating and drawing the background image is going to make things less "choppy" than using a transparent stage. If the aim is simply to have a draggable window where the user can see the desktop in the background, a transparent stage is the way to go. The following test runs fine on my system:

        final StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.setStyle("-fx-border-color: blue;");
        final Button button = new Button("Close");
        button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                primaryStage.hide();
        root.getChildren().addAll(button);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200, Color.TRANSPARENT);
        final ObjectProperty<Point2D> mouseOffset = new SimpleObjectProperty<>();
        scene.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(MouseEvent event) {

                    event.getScreenX() - primaryStage.getX(),

        scene.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {

            public void handle(MouseEvent event) {

                primaryStage.setY(event.getScreenY() - mouseOffset.get().getY());

Can't position windows on second screen JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA1

I love to work with JDeveloper. For a better overview i use two monitors.
At monitor one I place the JDeveloper Main Windows with the code-editor.
On the second monitor I place the other windows like "Structure" or Log-Windows.
This works good with JDeveloper 10.1.2.
But with the new version Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA1 (10.1.3.0.2) I can't place separate windows on the second monitor if the Main Windows is on the first Monitor.
(I use Windows 2000.)

I have a dual screen setup with a ATI Radion VE card - I've experienced no problems with splitting windows across both screens (either way). This is running on XP though.
You might want to pull the latest drivers for your card and see if that helps if you're not already on it.

How can I use two screens to display one window

Before Mavericks, MAC OS allowed you to use two screens (next to each other) in order to display one (big) window of one application.
That would mean that a window would start on your left screen en would continue on the right screen.
With Mavericks, however, this not possible any more. The window of the application can only be seen on ONE of the screens (i.e. the left one).
Can any one tell me whether I've missed certain options or how to adjust my settings in order to get this feature back?

Hey CGNL,
First, if you haven't already, set up the displays as an extended desktop:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Then, use Mission Control preferences to uncheck/turn off the option for "Displays have separate Spaces":
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Mission Control
Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces"
That should enable you to stretch whatever window you want across multiple displays.

How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?

How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?
The fact that the screens are now separate with two menu bars, and the inability for images to appear across both of them is a great inconvenience to me. I have used this system since the dual monitors first became available and do not want to loose.
While rearranging my desk top of current files, I seem to have jumping folders that flt to random places
Thank for bailing me out on this!

I've been looking for the same answer .. I stopped by local Apple store - Genius - he don't know
3 monitors here .. and agree - it's an extreme irritant that when a window is across two monitors part of it disappears.
Have Adobe Bridge catalog listing (and Filter, Collection, Keyword, Dates) on one monitor and main viewing window part on center monitor - no more.
Supper long spread sheet across all three monitors - no more.
Multiple Menu bars are irritating to use.

Multiple screens - can't drag windows

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion I can't drag a window from a screen to another (of course in case I use a second display) if they are arranged as one is below, another on the top (see the attached screen shot).
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue? Sometimes is quite annyoing.

pkrasko, welcome to the forum,
drag and drop; go to screen settings where you see the two monitors displayed with 1 on the left and 2 on the right. Click on 2 and drag it to the left of 1. You'll then be able to drag to the left, unless of course you've already physically moved the monitor to the right
Hope this helps

Drag&Drop between two windows

Hi
I am interested to know if in the latest version of abap webdynpro it is possible to do drag&drop between two windows?
And if it is possible to have a floating part of a window ( that I can move it around the screen )?
Thanks
Nitsan

Hi
Thank u Thomas and Chris for your helpful answers!
Still there is something I want to be sure about, the interaction that can be done between this floating window
and the opening window.
Can both window stay active and communicate between them?
Ill give an example of what I mean:
Lets say that I have window with few tables from this window I open another window with a list. now I want to dynamically
move an item from this list to one of the tables in the parent window or move an item from one of the tables to this list.
Can this scenario be implemented in abap webdynpro?
Thanks,
Nitsan

Windows 7, and I open window, which then flashes across the screen and is then hidden (only on my screen--the other users are able to open Firefox). What can I do?

There are several different user screens on my computer with each users programs. We all use Firefox on our Windows 7 desktop. However, for the last week, when I hit my Firefox icon, a small window flashes across the screen and is hidden. However, it shows the open window and the default site on the Task Bar, and I cannot browse, although Firefox still works on the other users' screens. What can I do to use it again and still save my Favorites/Bookmarks?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi Paul ,
It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.

I work on two screens. With the new updates, my computer will not automatically open a new window on the second screen.

I work on two screens. With the new updates we cannot automatically open a new window on the second screen, but have to move them over manually. Not a huge problem, but because of the nature of the work, it gets tedious.

Hi Annowriter,
Thank you for your question, I understand that it is annoying to have to move a new window to the second screen. Since it opens in the active screen this may have been a stored preference, however it is not the default.
There is an add on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master] that customizes settings like this. Check it out.
