Cumulus window on 2nd screen

Post by grandrouge »

Is it possible to set the Cumulus window to open on a second screen or in its last used position? Currently it opens always in the middle of screen 1.

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, the option to save the last window position (in the display settings) does work on multiple screens.

I use a second screen, and have to 'push' the Cumulus Window over onto it when I start up each morning.

So used to it I hardly notice - however it would be nice to get the system to 'remember' where I put it.

That's strange; I'm sure I remember someone saying that the 'save position' option worked across multiple screens. I didn't write the code that does it, so if it doesn't work, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it.

Edit: I've found a thread from way back when I introduced the option, with a number of people saying it works on a second screen: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4064. Is it now broken?

It works on the 2nd start-up (ie the next but one restart) of the cumulus prgramme.

Yes, it seems to need to be activated at start up before it then takes effect on subsequent starts. You can confirm that it works for you on dual monitors, yes?

As a result of this thread I've revisited and, yes, it does work over two monitors ...... I had to restart Cumulus twice and - low and behold - on the second startup it appeared in its usual home on the second monitor. Brill!

So the answer to grandrouge is 'Yes!' He must check the box "Save main window position" on the Configuration/Display window. I know I tried this some time back, but must have given up and un-ticked it!

Yes - I have the Cumulus page on a second monitor.
