[Photo - Using Dual Screens]

 

Hi Doug, 

Thank you for your post. I tried it but am not satisfied. Yes, I could switch a picture to my second screen, by using a shortcut in spectacle where it stays as long as the Mac is running. But after relaunching Affinity pictures appear again on the first screen, so one has to use the shortcut again. Another thing is that the size of the picture on the second screen is never remembered. So the only advantage is that the picture opens on the second screen, if one doesn't relaunch. But if a picture has to be bigger than how it opens in default. for example full screen, one has to zoom it every time. In photoshop both things go automatically once the settings are set. So all in all for me Spectacle only has a small advantage. ( or maybe I'm doing something wrong?) 

 Kind regards, Roel.

What I experienced with a "messed-up" multi-monitor setup: Some apps don't seem to "communicate" to windows which monitor they've been showed on when closed if they are maximised. So might will still open up on the wrong display unless they are moved to the one they should start on, then cancel the maximised window and close. This usually brings up the app on the display which it was on when closed last time.

Thanks, the pictures now open on the second monitor, while the panels and tools are on the first. But what is still annoying is that they open on that second monitor small sized (14,4%) So every time I have to increase the size. Closing down the monitor and reopen for a second picture doesn't help. Each photo will appear in the same small size. In this way separate mode is not very handy. 

Kind regards, Roel.

I would like to have a solution for this too. Separate mode is very handy, but dragging every time the picture to the second screen is annoying. When the picture is ready and one opens a new one, it appears on the first screen where the tools and layers and so on are. So you have to drag it again to the second, and indeed increase it. In photoshop such was not necessary. 

Is Affinity still working on it?

Thank you,

Roel Visser.

I use two screens with Affinity Photo.  Same as I use to with that “other” app, for 27 years.   I have all the [layout] and [Tab] screens, on a 15” MacBook Pro.  The second screen is a fully calibrated 4K - 29 inch monitor.

In that other app, whenever I open a new photo, it shows up on the 4K screen.   In Affinity.  The photo > always opens up in the small laptop screen < and I have to drag it to the larger screen.  I then also have to increase it’s default “small size”.   This is very frustrating to have to do this, every photo.
 

Is there a way in ‘Photo’ I can have this default, to have the photo open on the second screen as a [default]?  There must be many other people using a two screen setup!
 

The last time this question was asked was two years ago, with no solution at that time.   
 

thanks in advance
