I recently upgraded to Shark Pro 10. On a Mac, os 10.12.6, with dual monitors.

Used to be, I could open a bunch of tool palettes on 'the other monitor', and they would be in the same spot the next time I opened the program (SharkFX9). Now, they all open on the 'main' monitor, and I have to move them over to the other one on every software start-up. Any ideas as to how I might be able to make them stay put from day to day? Some pref to dump or modify or something?

thanks.

If you position them, and then go into preferences, there is an option to save tool pallette position, try that and see what happens :-)

That was already checked. I 'apply' ed it, 'now' ed it, and no change with either or both. They all jump back to an (open) pile on one monitor after quitting and reopening.

I go to SFX 9, they all stay where ever I left them.

In ~/Library/Application Support/com.encore.sharkFX9 there will be a Prefs.ini file. Move that into the sharkFX10 folder and restart Shark

Nope. Prefs replacement Didn't work. Remembers the open windows, they just won't stay on the 2nd monitor.

I removed everything I could find Shark related, and reinstalled to no avail.

It's a small inconvenience. There are other issues that are way more inconvenient. They all add up though, don't they?

thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Dennis,
I mentioned that years ago.
Working one time with dual monitor or just using a video projector creates a big mess when back on my laptop monitor.
Other softwares are just getting original palettes position.
Something wrong here.
