ID won't remember dual monitor workspace

ID CS3. I have a two monitor setup, with my application window on the right (secondary) monitor and all my palettes and toolbars on the left monitor. I've saved this workspace and ID has always opened up like this. But recently I installed a new plug-in from Rorohiko and ID won't remember the preferred workspace (it wants to open everything in the primary monitor). I've tried deleting the workspace and naming a new one, but that doesn't work. I don't want to remove the plug-in and I doubt if that would change anything. Any ideas on getting ID to behave?

Why not try removing the plug-in? If the problem goes away after that, you'll know that's the solution to your problem. If it doesn't, you can re-install the plug-in.

Creating dual monitor workspace

I found one ancient message from September with absolutely no responses, so let's try again.....
Bridge CS4. Dual monitors. HOW do I create and SAVE a workspace that takes advantage of both monitors? I want to put previews and some palettes on one monitor, and the rest on the other. But, I don't seem to be able to save the whole thing so it's the default setup.
How do I do this?

I don't believe you can. I do think the save workspaces feature is that
smart or goes that far. At least when I have tried creating a dual monitor
workspace and save it, it never comes up like a created it. I think what the
problem is that when you create that secondary window for the other monitor
it isn't just a window created by the main application but a second light
copy of Bridge loaded in to memory so when you close bridge that is lost.
This has been an issue since they added workspace capabilities to Bridge.
It certainly would be nice if this worked however.

Dual monitor workspace

CS3. I'm using two monitors. I have saved a workspace in which all pallets appear on the main (left) monitor and the main ID window appears on the right. Lately ID doesn't seem to remember this configuration, everything opens on the left and I have to move the main window to the right. Given that ID used to remember this setup, what has gone wrong with it and how do I get it back to working the way it used to?

I've worked with dual monitors in CS3 without any problems.
I suspect your workspace has become corrupted. (Hanging round street corners. Smoking cigarette. Playing pool.)
Create a new workspace. That should stay around for a while.

Win 8.1 not remembering dual monitor setup after reboot

Hello,
I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit Enterprise N with the following hardware:
HP ENVY TouchSmart 4-1245tu Sleekbook with Intel HD 4000 Graphics
Dell Monitor
HDMI Out from laptop to VBGA In on monitor (HDMI to VGA Convertor used to connect with second monitor).
I have setup multiple monitors and it works fine. However once I do a reboot on the laptop the machine, after reboot only laptop screen is detected and second monitor/external monitor not detected ( it is blank with the External monitor having its backlight on (so its not in standby) but nothing is being sent to it.)
It looks as if Windows 8.1 is not remembering the extend monitor setup after a reboot.
I am running the latest drivers from Intel for Windows 8.1 64 bit and Intel 4000 graphics:
Release Version: Production Version
Driver Version: 15.33.5.64.3316
Package: 209756
Intel(R) Graphics Driver: 10.18.10.3316

Screen Sharing not remembering Dual Monitor preferences

Before I upgraded my my MBP to Snow Leopard, Screen Sharing would remember to connect to only the primary monitor on my G5. In Snow Leopard, I can't get it to remember it, so it connects to both monitors by defualt each time I use it.
Anyone have suggestions?

Dual Monitor Workspace Stopped Working

I used to have two Dell 19" monitors and the Workspace>Save Workspace worked in all CS3 applications.
I know have two Acer 22" monitors and the Save Workspace only works correctly in Photoshop.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Where did you find instructions for using two monitors? Thanks.

Workspace with Dual Monitors in Bridge

I'm operating with two monitors. On my main monitor I have the Preview Panel open at full screen size. On my secondary monitor I have the content panel open with thumbnails showing. I've tried several times to save this as a single workspace but to no avail. Saving the main monitor workspace is fine. But I then need to save the second monitor workspace as a separate workspace.
In doing so the second monitor workspace (thumbnails) jumps back to the first monitor & emulates what the main monitor shows. I'd like to be able to save dual monitor workspaces as unique workspaces. Hope this makes sense.
Kevin

Kevin,
 
 You don't mention what versions of Bridge and the OS you're running.
 
 I have the Preview panel on my main monitor and everything else on the second monitor. This works for me in CS4 and in CS3 or CS2. No problem saving that as my default space. I'm running Tiger 10.4.11.

 Start fresh, and this time do not attempt to move the
pods around, rather move the
panels. Bridge doesn't like it when you move the pods themselves.

10.10.2 and citrix access agteway (CAG) dual monitors

Remembering app positions for single/dual monitor setups?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum--I'm not sure if this is Mac OS or application specific.
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6. When I plug in the external monitor to my MacBook Pro, I setup Firefox and Entourage on my notebook monitor and Photoshop on the external. I also move the Apple menu bar to the external (since PS is my main app I like having the menu bar close by). Photoshop doesn't present a problem because I'm able to switch the layout for different workspaces (laptop alone or laptop and external), but I find that Firefox and Entourage don't remember their positions.
For example, my current setup is dual monitors as mentioned above. When I get home and power up the notebook, I'll launch all the same apps. Firefox is just barely within view hanging off the left side of the screen so I'll grab the window and drag it over so I can access the green button (not sure what this is called). Entourage displays just fine. When I get back to work the next day and plug in the external, Firefox displays on the external with the window sized to fit the notebook monitor) and I'll just drag it over. Entourage loads into the external as maximized and I'll drag it over and click the green button.
Is it possible for the apps to remember their positions depending on whether it's just the notebook or if I've connected an external monitor? Thanks in advance!

Guess it's in the right place now.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to do what you want.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

Separate workspaces on dual monitor setup?

Sorry if I leave out any details -- just ask if you need anymore.
A little background information before I begin: I am using 3.12-ck x86_64 kernel, using Cinnamon, and have a dual monitor setup via one graphics card, which is an NVIDIA 560 Ti, and I'm using nvidia-ck-bulldozer
I'm trying to have each monitor have its own Workspace instead of just being one large desktop, but I'm not exactly sure how. The only solution I've found so far is:
1) Right click the panels on Monitor #1 and choose "New Panel" -- (This is where my problem lies; there is no "New Panel" option)
2) Then hold Alt and click and drag the new panel to Monitor #2 -- (I also cannot even move my current panel from monitor via clicking + key combos; I have to change the primary monitor in Cinnamon System Settings)
But, as I said, this solution doesn't work for me. What exactly should I do?
Edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm using Cinnamon version 2.0.14

I am using the same version as you right now, but I couldn't find out what you are searching for. I think this is because this feature doesn't exist yet. See https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/130

Remembering SaveAs dialog position on dual-monitor

Hello,
I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard with dual monitor setup.
How can I get Acrobat to remember the last position of the SaveAs dialog on the other monitor after moving it there?
I'm using a script to automate the extraction of each page and saving each as an individual file.
Every time a page is extracted, the SaveAs dialog will obstruct my view of the content, which I need to move to another screen, before I can type in the appropriate filename.
Thanks,
Devin

Can somebody please confirm if you're experiencing the same issue on your dual monitor setup? Thanks.

Bridge Dual Monitors CS3 Workspace Questions

I can't seem to figure out a few things regarding running dual monitors. Run windows XP, have the latest bridge/cs 3 updates. Sometimes everything works fine, other times it doesn't.
I like having my preview pane on monitor #1, directly in front of me. I also like opening the selected photo in RAW from monitor #1 and having the RAW window come up on monitor #1.
Most often the RAW window will open up on Monitor #2, which I do not want to happen. On Monitor #2, I have my content pane and my metadata & folders showing.
I've reversed 1:2 and 2:2 and can't get it to work right either. Could someone provide some guidance? Been searching options and can't figure it out.
Another topic that is not related to dual montiors. Sometimes my preview tab, will not show the selected photo in it. I usually reset Bridge on start up and it'll be there...but sometimes the photo disappears. The tab will still be there. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I discovered that with dual monitors if the window is maximized it has no preview image (default workspace), just a green pane. If you use the double headed arrow and pull back the dividing line between thumb/preview pane or preview/metadata pane it revels dozens of "copies" of underneath. The preview will only show up when the thumb window pane is moved quite a ways to the left. It is almost like the real workspace is on the bottom and the others are on top.
The solution I have found is to click RESTORE DOWN (middle window icon) and then everything works correctly, even if I enlarge the window to full monitor. If I maximize it reverts again. Am using Vista and 2 monitors. Can work with this now that I know what to do, but a little puzzling. For anyone not seeing a preview image, or metadata, might be worth while to see if maximize window mode is the problem.
Perhaps you could experiment with maximize - restore down and see if it helps with your problem.
Probably get a better response if you post questions in Bridge question forum rather than feature forum.

I3 bar: dual monitor, all workspace tabs on primary

First of i3 is Awesome (just switched)
Question:
with named workspaces in a dual monitor setup I have i3 status bar set to display only on the external monitor, which works great, except for the fact that the only workspace tabs that display in the bar are those related to the external monitor.
If I show the bar on laptop monitor as well, of course the workspace tabs relevant to laptop display.
So, is there a way to get all workspace tabs displaying in status bar on a single monitor?
Also, have not been able to find out how to reverse alignment of status items and workspace tabs. Would prefer status items aligned left and workspace tabs right -- possible to pull this off with new JSON protocol?
Thanks for ideas

This is due to your window manager treating the two monitors as a larger 'desktop' area - that combined with your specification of the pos=0x0 you are telling it to do this.
If you have only the VGA output on, the top left corner of the VGA monitor is 0x0. If you open a window, and it is placed 10 pixels in and down from the top left, it is at coordinates 10x10 in the x session. Then you turn on the laptop monitor and specify that the top left corner of the laptop monitor should now bo considered 0x0 - but nothing is done to move the windows, so the window with coordinates 10x10 is now near the top left of the laptop monitor.
I see 3 possible ways of acheiving what you want:
1) swap the "pos" parameters in your xrandr commands so that the monitor on the left is always at 0x0 and the one on the right is always at 1920x0 (or whatever). This will leave a large area of available X desktop that is not visible - I don't know how your window manager will treat this. It might try to map windows on the laptop screen space even though that screen is not on. I know openbox is easy to configure where it tries to place windows.
2) Keep the VGA monitor always at 0x0, but place the laptop monitor at a negative offset when you want it on. I don't actually know if X allows negative coordinates like that, but it's worth a shot.
3) Configure your window manager, or use a different window manager, so that it is aware of the two screens and treats them reasonably (e.g. moves windows when the desktop area is changed).

Hi. I'm trying to set up dual monitors, but I can't seem to get it to work.

So it looks to me like both displays are being detected. The geometry looks such that one display is on top of the other, but I can change that using an xorg.conf.d config file (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … xorg.conf). I also tried using arandr.
The real problem is that the display on HDMI3 just isn't "waking up". The power is on, but it just sits there in sleep mode.
Any help would be great. I might just be missing something simple. Thanks.
Edit: I just saw a short list of window managers near the bottom of the Arch Multihead page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _xorg.conf). I don't see openbox on that list. Does that mean I'm SOL if I want to use openbox with multiple monitors? This page seems to imply that it should work fine with openbox http://magnatecha.com/dual-monitors-wit … nd-xrandr/.

I use XFCE, and when I boot my computer I just run:
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --output DVI-I-2 --auto --left-of DVI-I-1
I'm assuming if you modify the names appropriately that it'll work too. I have had issues before trying to run dual monitors without taking both outputs off of a single video card (which is what I'm doing now). For example, I had a graphics card with one (VGA) output and a VGA output on my motherboard. But, connecting the graphics card disabled the on-board VGA. So it is possible (I'm not an expert here) that two displays coming off the motherboard may not work for hardware reasons.
