Hi there guys,
I couldn't figure out how to add a ticket on Yorba, nor could i find these
bugs up there - but may be missing something.
I am currently running a dual screen setup at home (Acer 15.3" 16:9 Laptop
as primary, Samsung 17" 4:3 LCD as secondary), and am trying to get shotwell
0.12.3 to maximise on secondary screen, but it just wont do it at all. Is
this a feature or a bug? Because the 17" has better colour correction and
more real estate, i would much prefer my shotwell workflow on that screen
when at home - and preferabbly maximised. If it could be implemented that
it maximise on the screen that it is on, that would be excellent.
Which UI are you using? It works fine for me with a similar setup
using Unity-2d. I can't try with Unity 3D as my hardware does not
support it.
I'm using Unity 3D. At the time of writing the e-mail, i could get
xbmc, virtualbox, thunderbird, software centre, synaptic and a couple of
others to maximise, but shotwell and chromium were the two notible
exceptions.
Didn't think of trying a different login, so i tried one of the (many)
test logins i created when i was debugging the Unity 3D upgrade bug and
came out that it would - with one major difference, that the launcher
was on both screens, not just on the laptop like on my main username.
So i went back into my main user, went into display settings, and even
though it refuses to detect the second display, it let me turn the
launcher on and viola - it maximised in the second display! After
turning the launcher back off, it seems to work still (for now, will see
on next screen restart...).
I apologise for speaking too soon, but it seems to be (probably) a
compiz problem and not a shotwell problem, but thanks for helping kick
my brain back into gear on how to debug! Interestingly, even chrome
needs the same workaround if i move it to the second screen when the
launcher is hidden. At least i have one now!
Thanks,
Scott.
If you log on as a different user do you see the same problem?
Do other apps maximise ok on the second monitor?
Colin
