Christian,

Does Ultramon support forcing an executable to load on a different screen without the use of shortcuts?

Reason I am asking is that I want the console prompt (cmd.exe) to load on any other screen except for my primary.

Rather annoying when you code in VS2010 on a 3rd screen, but having to rely on hot keys to make the console visible. With shortcuts I can make it work, but VS2010 calls the executable and not a shortcut. Unless you know a way to counter it?

My primary screen is a display w/ charts and it's too far away to use it properly. Changing my primary screen isn't a solution either due though the application being used for the charts is too buggy to begin with.

Currently that's not supported. It should be possible to do this with a custom script, but the script would need to be running constantly, for example getting all open windows every 1-2 seconds, then moving all cmd.exe windows to a specific monitor.

Let me know if you would be interested in such a script (this would require UltraMon 3.1.0).

Yes I would like that very much.

I can run the script whenever I am working w/ VS and leave it disabled if it's not necessary.

You should be able to see my e-mail.

Thanks

I have uploaded a script which does this, PositionApp. Let me know if you have any questions about using the script.
