use case :- switching windows to fullscreen, when using 2 to 4 screens showing various bits of the composition on each, sometimes as one single canvas across all outputs… (using Mac mini + sonnet egpu, Mojave, Vuo 2.0beta2 <= but this issue appears to be the same in Vuo 1.2)
so the logic seems to be, for a window to go fullscreen on a specificitic monitor, it needs to already be positioned on that monitor AND be active (selected), - then it goes full screen on that monitor when it gets a fullscreen true property…
If the said window is not selected, and it receives a fullscreen property, then it jumps to the screen where there is an active window, and goes fullscreen on that monitor…
Mission Control > When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application
Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces
We tested ShowWindowsOn2Screens with Vuo 2.0.0-beta2, with all 4 permutations of the above settings, and it works properly — each window goes fullscreen on a separate screen; no need to move each window to each screen first.
Can you share a composition that exhibits the problem, and share how you have those System Preferences settings set, and maybe include a video (probably using an iPhone camera would be the easiest way to record both screens)? That way we can get a better idea of how to diagnose the problem.
Thank you Jean Marie - I’m breaking free from my my max/msp mindedness, and seeing that vuo has simpler logic when patching multiple times (of sometimes varying data types) to a single node input-port. (select latest came to the rescue ;-)
I was moving (positioning) windows first, then going fullscreen
Using List screens and switching screen numbers per window seems like a better way. Here’s my (now old) method.
Sometimes in presentations I need the possibility to send any window to any screen, and then fullscreeing only that one… looks like I’ll be combining these two methods of doing that. - thnx - carlitos
