SAVE PALETTE POSITIONS (NOT)


bc

Question

I use two monitors and move my palettes to one screen to free up the other for the design, and then check save palette positions. Then  sleep my computer, upon awakening the palettes have all moved over to the main screen again....albeit nicely grouped as per the other window.  How can I get them to stick to the other (subordinate) window?  What am I missing?

See screenshots A and B before and after awakening from sleep.

 

This is with 2018 and 2017.

Thanks

It's probably because the subordinate monitor is being 'awakened' more slowly than the main monitor, so when VW wakes back up from sleep, it only sees the 'main' monitor.

No great workaround, other than closing VW before putting the machine to sleep.

Less-than-great workaround is to make a second workspace, featuring palettes only on the main monitor, and switch to the 'One Monitor' workspace before putting the machine to sleep.

Then, once you've re-awakened it, switch back to the 'Two Monitor' workspace and the palettes should go back over to it, wherever they last were when you last used that workspace...

Not elegant but it should work....
