jaftwo Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I keep my Photo and Designer undocked windows on my second monitor. When I'm in Publisher and select say, the Photo persona, Photo opens with what looks like the default view (Studio panels or windows) docked to the main monitor on the right side of the app. Is there a way to have the Photo/Designer view come up like they are running them separately?

walt.farrell Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The settings are not shared between Publisher and the standalong Photo and Designer applications, so there is no way for that to happen automatically. You should be able to setup the studio panels for the Photo and Designer Personas of Publisher as you'd like, but you will need to do it manually.

jaftwo Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Not sure I understand why there's no way to do it. It's using the same photo/designer app (exe) and I can manually undock the windows or panels and place them to the second monitor. Photo/Designer has a way of remembering the configuration, so it would seem that configuration could be accessed?

Serif staff have said there are technical issues, especially given that a user can buy different applications from different stores, and some apply sandboxing.

jaftwo Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 So I can start a new document in Publisher and then activate the Photo Persona, undock it's windows or panels and move them to the second monitor, and use it (Photo). It works fine. I still don't understand why it's so hard for it to use the configuration that Photo stores when I use it standalone, but will stop asking.
