Keeping a 2nd monitor in Grid mode

Hello,
I'm trying to keep a 2nd monitor locked into grid mode? For example when editing; monitor 1 is in Loupe mode, 2nd in Grid mode when I do a find the monitors will switch modes? So the 2nd goes from grid to loupe and the main monitor goes to grid mode.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jeff

I guess it's a bug.
(In case you wonder about my setup: my second monitor is smaller and I prefer to use it for tool panels etc. It would also be ideal to carry the Lightroom grid view by default for quick navigation, while working on the individual images on the first monitor. Not too far-fetched a setup, I guess.)
No it's by design. The grid on the second monitor is actually a vertically stretched version of the filmstrip. So, you can forget any ideas about being able to edit multiple images on the second monitor.

  • Terrible performance on 2nd monitor in portrait mode

    I have the newest model 27" iMac. I have a second monitor plugged in via mini displayport. Everything was fine until  Mountain Lion upgrade. Now, the second monitor, when in portrait mode, stutters very badly when I swipe between desktops. It is very annoying. It is fine when in landscape mode, but I use it in portrait mode and it's terrible.

    You need to submit the bug to Apple, I believe some people have complained of this during testing from what I have seen on some apple fan sites.

  • Develop mode before and after shortcut for 2nd monitor?

    I'm working in Develop mode and am trying to find the before and after shortcut for my 2nd monitor? the "\" shortcut works only on my main monitor. I am using my 2nd smaller monitor for color correction hence the need for the before and after option on my  2nd monitor.

    I think, but I'm not sure, the only way to do that is to move the LR main screen to that second monitor. The before and after view always happen in the main LR screen.

  • Develop Mode 2nd Monitor not showing edit adjustments

    I am using Lightroom 4.1 RC2 on a Windows 7 64 bit system with dual monitors. When I am in the develop mode and make edit adjustments on any setting the 2nd monitor does not update. If I move to another image then come back the image is updated but it does not work in real time. I have never had this problem before and it worked fine in Lightroom V4.0

    It's a bug in LR4.1 RC2.
    The workaround seems to be to increase the size of the Standard Preview setting (File Handling tab of the Catalog Settings)....go up at least one setting (e.g. if it's currently 1024 change it to 1440 or 1680). No need to recreate your previews, just increasing the setting seems to work in most cases.
    You might also, without realising it, be suffering a fairly dramatic memory leak which is also stopped by changing the settings.

  • How do I set my secondary monitor to automatically default to grid mode?

    I'm using Lightroom 3.2 and everytime I open the app to either import photos or work on the ones I already have imported it defaults to grid mode on primary monitor and full mode on my secondary.
    Is there a way to tell Lightroom to do the opposite. Have the secondary monitor default to grid mode and the main window default to full mode.  This would make it more intuitive and more efficient when switching between library and develope modes.
    Thanks

  • 2nd monitor keeps going black and back on. How to stop that?

    Since installing MAVERICKS the 2nd monitor does not stay up all the time.
    It will go black for a few seconds and then comes back.  WHY?
    How to stop this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Helix can't boot without a 2nd monitor attached

    Hi,
    I maintain a Helix (36984RU) that gets used for presentations.  It will not boot to Windows without a second monitor attached.   I can hear the fan spin up and the unit gets warm, but the screen remains blank.  The only thing I can do is to shutdown by holding down the power button.
    When booting with a 2nd monitor or projector attached, the startup Lenovo logo appears on the 2nd screen and the laptop screen remains blank.  When the Windows login screen appears, it appears correctly on the laptop screen.  I've checked the Windows Screen Resolution page and it correctly shows the laptop monitor as the primary monitor.
    This issue presents itself whether or not I disconnect the 2nd monitor prior to shutdown/restart, or whether I remove the 2nd monitor before restart.  It also does not make a difference if I start in tablet or docked mode.
    I've updated the BIOS to version 1.29 and have checked that the boot display device is set to Thinkpad LCD, and not either of the two displayport options.
    Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks!

    I don't know what it is - I have Enable Transmit on the Program monitor to enable it to do so, and I can't go back to 7.0 or 6.0 as I'm now working on projects in 7.0.1 and don't want to keep chopping and changing.

  • Adding navigator panel to 2nd monitor

    I love the 2nd monitor feature in LR2, but it might be cool to allow the navigator to display on the 2nd monitor and disable on the main one. I'll get over it, but it seems to be a bit limited on what can go on the 2nd screen. ..as well as having to hover over the scroll bar to use the mouse wheel in grid mode. It doesn't work by simply being over the grid. ..however it works fine in the grid mode on the main monitor in the library regardless. :(
    Love the program.. though it seems to run much slower than LR 1.4
    Thanks!

    Ryan,
    Please provide the brand and model number of the USB-to-video adapter. There are many on the market that seem to be sub-standard in capabilities. My USB-to-video adapter of choice is the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39. It works great on my 7 different computers and 5 different HDTVs.
    Please send KUDOs

  • ITunes doesn't always stay on 2nd monitor

    This is a new issue which I have submitted to the Apple bug site.    But I'm wondering if anybody else has seen it.
    I have a new 27" iMac which I keep current, and an old 2nd monitor which I keep to its right.    I always have iTunes on that monitor which is in portrait mode.
    in the last month about 6-8 times I have gotten up in the morning to discover iTunes has moved over to my iMac's screen.   Weird. 
    I get the feeling not many people use a second monitor the way I do.   I know that when I upgraded my VMware Fusion a couple of years ago, it was difficult to set it up so that it only used my old iMac's screen.   
    When I restart my computer,  I have a program, SimpleFloatingClock, which never comes up where I left it on my 2nd monitor.   But iTunes always comes up on the 2nd monitor where it's supposed to.
    My old Mac couldn't have the setting where it turns on to check my mail all night.   So maybe sometimes when it checks the e-mail, it thinks my other monitor is missing.    My old monitor needed a new converter to use Thunderbolt on my new computer.

    That didn't work.   iTunes on my 2nd monitor is still full screen over there.   On this monitor, I can use the green button to make Mail or Safari full screen and then press ESC to get it back.    If I hit the green button on Chrome, it acts the old way.
    But if I click on iTunes on the other monitor, ESC doesn't do anything.   Double clicking the top doesn't do anything.   Right clicking iTunes (on my main monitor), and selecting Hide or Show doesn't do anything. 
    Found it!
    If I very, very carefully get my cursor on the top left of the 2nd monitor, the task bar for that window pops up.   The red and yellow dots are greyed out, but I can click the green button and get it working.    And I can finally resize.
    I'm guessing that part isn't a bug, but just an ugly, difficult, design.   Very ugly.
    But the rest of this certainly is one or two bugs.

  • How to use a secondary monitor in Portrait mode

    Finally discovered how to do this.  Here is how to use a second monitor in portrait mode:
    Open System Preferences from your iMac dock.
    Click Displays - Click Arrangement - Click Gather Windows - the secondary monitor dialog box opens.
    Click Rotation - Click 90 degrees rotation for PORTRAIT MODE.
    Click CONFIRM on the secondary monitor to keep Portrait mode.
    Select the desired resolution. I chose 1200 x 1920.
    You'll see a dialog box that says, "About to change the display mode."
    Click OKAY.
    Click Confirm. (If it appears. For some resolutions, I did not have to click confirm, most likely because the monitor supports those resolutions.) 
    Then resize the windows of the software you're using.
    Done!

    I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

  • 2nd Monitor

    2nd monitor switches itself off after approximately 30 minutes and then goes on/off intermittently every 10 mins.
    No particular pattern, but wonder whether heavy graphics work in Photoshop CS4 is a pointer? Unable to use the EIZO monitor for work.
    All cabling good. No problem with iMac 20"

  • IMac does not detect correct resolution of 2nd monitor

    I am attempting to use my 42" LG HDTV as a 2nd monitor for my iMac. The native resolution for the LG is 1920x1080 but the iMac only allows me to select up to 1600x1200. It seems to think that the LG is a smaller screen than the iMac as well and my images are stretched. The monitors are also disproportionate, for example, if I expand a window so that there is an inch of space on all 4 sides on my iMac it will overwhelm the screen of the larger monitor so that only about 2/3 of the window is visible. It's as if the iMac thinks that the LG is in 4:3 display mode.
    I am using a mini-DVI to VGA adapter. How can I get full resolution from my 2nd monitor?

    The (analog) VGA connection is limiting your resolution. Idealy a (digital) Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable should allow the full resolution in Extended Desktop Mode.

  • Connecting a 2nd monitor

    I want to buy either a Dell or BenQ 2nd monitor for my mac book pro.. are these monitors compatible??

    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html
    On the new MBPs, they have a Mini DisplayPort, which supports VGA, HDMI and DVI outputs. You could get the Apple LED Cinema Display - it might be a little more expensive but it'll definitely work with the new MBPs.
    BTW, it'd be handy if you put your system details in the text boxes above the 'post message' button when you put something in this forum...that way we'll know what you're running without you having to keep typing it in all the time.

  • Why do I lose my desktop picture on external (2nd) monitor after going to sleep?

    Sometimes, (not always) my 2nd monitor will not have a background picture - only gray - after waking up from sleep mode. Even going to System Prefs and selecting different picture, it will only stay gray. All other items that I drag to it or that were there when it went to sleep are fine, just the background picture is the problem. After restart, everything is OK.
