Dual Monitor Support?

Scavenger

I have two monitors. I'd like to use them.

I've learned how to drag Panels to my second monitor,. So that's a nice start.

BUT, If I try to save the layout, and switch Activity View, the panels on the second monitor go away, AND rechoosing the custom layout gives me the regular screen but the panels closed, rather than on the second monitor.

AND layout changes don't flow to the different Activity Views.

More or less, I'd like the Parameter Tab and the Scene Tab to always be on my second monitor...is there a way to make this happen (and not have to contiuously re- set them up?)

Yes, I have parameters and other tabs on my second monitor
saving the layout should keep it,
closing windows though they tend to jump back onto the main monitor.
changing the layout WILL lose it though but you can save a few layouts if you get bored with one and customize your colours too
make sure you click make undockable in the little striped box under rightclick too.

I just tried again.

With the layout as the "Hollywood" as default, in the ACTORS, WARDOBE & PROPS Activity, I moved the Scene and Parameter tabs to the second monitor.
I save it as 2Monitors

I changed to the Render Activity, and they vanished.

I changed BACK to the ACTORS, WARDOBE & PROPS Activity, and they showed up in the middle of the 1st Monitor.

I change back to Hollywood layout and close the program

I reopen and choose the 2Monitor layout . For a quick second, the Scene and Parameters tabs show up on the second screen...then they vanish (close).

Is this Daz not writing Mac software in a way that is usable? Or does this not work on anyone's system?

oh I have Windoze so no idea

I have just found the secret may be to NOT click Make Pane Undockable... We'll see.

No problems on a windows machine, been running it that way for years, and it usually even remembers when I update versions.
