multiple monitors?

[RoySlough]

Hi, Running FS on my laptop and things are a bit crowded, what with all the fixtures, and all the controls, and the sequence creator.
I have added an additional monitor and extended the desktop across both screens, but I cannot get FS to use this enlarged space.
I can get FS to maximise on one screen or the other but not both. Any Suggestions
(apart from buying a larger external monitor and just using that one only with a higher resolution)

Thank you

oke

indeed FS only can be used on ONE screen, unless you use Touchscreen userinterface 1 or 2.

But with some videocards you can say Both screens should Act as ONE.. ONE BIG SCREEN.
on ATI it calls AMD EYEFINITY.

But you can also add Zones to FS. these are 4 Tabs and this way you have 4 Times more space for Fixtures.
can be found between the FS options.

I will experiment with Zones It should clear some room,
How do I move fixtures from Zone to zone - some will belong together in logical groups.
e.g. Multicolour LED on one zone, Moving heads on another etc...

Thanks

OK found it - right click on fixture and there is an option "Move to zone......"

Thanks this will help clear some space and organise my fixtures better.

Hej

The Fixture control panels and the cue panel and so on are not locked to the Freestyler window.

I have two monitors where one is turned as portrait.

Have a look on screen dump image.

Thanks Jan, I had thought the Cue panel, sub master etc. were within the main freestyler window and not able to me moved outside. I will investigate this a little more although the Zones is providing me with a lot more room.
Thank you for the information

How did you do what you've done with the submasters and put 10 on a page? That would help me alot if I could do that

hi this is a Beta version..
you can also have 20 SM list on one screen.
but it can be found on the COG wheel.

and this feature is allready on TUI2.

Thanks Spirit. It looks really good and shame I don't have touch screen, but I'll get there someday.

Be waiting for beta to be released stable

Tui2 can also be used with the mouse, you dont need a Touchscreen to acces or controll this interface..

So I am a bit confused if this has been answered or not, but this is what I would like to be able to do and have not figured out how yet. I am running a Toshiba with windows 7 64bit I just got a touchscreen monitor. I have been using this computer and a regular monitor in extended multi screen format. I would like to be able to keep doing this with my touchscreen, but cant seem to get it to work unless I just use my touchscreen and duplicate my laptop screen which leaves me high and dry on the amount of extra room I would like for every thing to fit. I really do not want to have to toggle between tabs to change my submasters and my overrides ect. I would like to keep the main freestyler screen on the laptop so I can see what is going on with my lights, pick fixtures, control subs and all the overrides, blackouts etc. on the touchscreen. The instant I extend the screen it starts to control the main program like a mouse and does nothing in the touchscreen side. That being said I can control the touch panel side with my mouse. I have tried to change to screen 1 and 2 with no avail. I need some help

ahh yes i see you issue as i have had the same..
but this is windows7 related.
here a how to....

1.Go to Control Panel and search for "Touch".
2.Click "Tablet PC Settings"
3.Click "Setup..." to the right of "Configure your pen and touch displays"
4.Choose "Touch Input..."
5.Hit the "Enter" key until you see the instructions appear on your actual touch monitor. Touch the screen and it will say something like "Hit enter to move to the next step".
