Multiple Monitor in Vertical, can't drag to them.
« on: 2013 August 28 11:16:39 »
I have a four monitor setup. Two above and two below. For some reason, PixInsight is the only program I have that will not allow me to position floating windows on the upper monitors. If I tell windows they are in a single row, it works (albeit making it confusing, mouse-wise), but not when I have windows monitor set up set to two above, two below (which is their physical position). Win 7 64 Pro. It would be nice to be able to move floating windows above.  Any idea why this can't be done?

On a related note, it would also be nice to be able to move image windows (especially previews) to another monitor, but these are locked to the main window.

Thanks

I have a 3 horizontal monitor setup but when I configured 2 of them vertically with the Video card's Configuration software, (DisplayFusion in my case), PI worked perfectly dragging up and down.

This is truly weird. I just downloaded the trial version of Display Fusion (I have been using UltraMon). Acts much the same but weird.

I CAN move the explorer windows to the upper  monitors by making one of the upper monitors the primary and starting PI there. If I then drag an explorer window down to a lower monitor, it will drag down but then will NOT drag back up!

Doing the same thing with Photoshop, I can drag any of it's windows anywhere at any time regardless of where the primary monitor is or which
monitor the main program is running on.

FYI, I am running two identical NVidia cards and DVI to all monitors. Trying the NVidia software yields the same results.

Just something different about how PI interacts, I guess.
