Triple monitor setup Zbrush issue

DavePhipps · Apr 2015

I've got 2 regular monitors and now a Bosto 22u mini. I can move programs to the Bosto and close them. when I start them again they will start on the Bosto. Unfortunately this doesn't work with Zbrush. It always goes to monitor 1. Any advice on getting Zbrush to open on the correct monitor?

Came across this on another forum, it might work for you hopefully.

"1. Open the application.
2. Re-size the window so that it is not maximized or minimized.
3. Move the window to the monitor you want it to open on by default.
4. Close the application. Do not re-size prior to closing.
5. Open the application.
It should open on the monitor you just moved it to and closed it on.
6. Maximize the window."

And the site I got it from http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/167115-dual-monitor-program-launching.html

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I've tried that and Zbrush keeps going back to monitor 1.

Open zbrush.

Save the config (it also saves window location)

I did this with my 4x monitor setup.

Damn Lamont ! Old thread, but I'm so fucking glad it still exists. I got 4 monitors but I don't always keep the 4th ON (Wacom) and ZBrush always starting on the OFF screen was driving me crazy for a while. Especially when you use the amazing ZScene Manager and it also opens on the other screen (but you can't move it).

Great. Was obvious but I had to come here to realize it

Thanks dood.
