Remembering panel positions on different dual monitor configs

[fixielanes]

Unlike InDesign, Affinity V.2 applications won’t remember the panel positions on different dual monitor setups. I work with two 23 inch monitors in the office, but sometimes at home with two different monitors or abroad with my ipad in sidecar mode. Every time when I connect to one of these setups, the panels are collected overlapping on the main screen. How to fix this?

A solution would be to use Studio configurations Window > Studio and manually configure a palette layout etc for each setup you typically use. Then swap to the one you're using when you change your setup.

I use them to recover from Affinity not handling Sleep / Wake correctly in situations where the sleep process has issues, and one of my displays is dropped by the system. The only problem, is the tools palette isn't captured by Studio layouts, so if you use it as a separate floating thing you'll need to move it manually each time.

Hi @fixielanes,

I wasn't able to reproduce all studio panels stacking when switching between dual monitor configs as the position was remembered, but these were of a somewhat similar size. When switching between the two configs, are they different screen resolutions and physical sizes? Just wondering if it happens when switching from a larger to a smaller display config if the app deems that there isn't enough space to fit the panels, so it just stacks them on the primary display.
