When using Poser11 with a dual screen (extended) setup, there is a HUGE problem with sub-functions/popups.

If I open a function (Notifications, EZskin script) where a small popup window ( Chromium embedded frame function) while in dual screen, and slide that little pop-up to my larger second screen to use it, I will lose sight of it if I go back to single screen.

I use a high-power graphics laptop as screen one and a large TV as screen two. When I unhooked the TV, the MAIN poser window opened in the laptop main-screen (Even though I had left it in the second large screen when closing), BUT all of the pop-up screens (Scripts, etc) will not recenter or come back into the primary laptop screen. They show as open in task manager, but not on screen.

That sucks. Especially since I was NOT in front of my second screen when I discovered the issue and was trying to use my laptop.

When I was able to get the second screen hooked up, there they were on the larger screen. I moved the ones I was working with, but this means EVERY other function I moved to the second screen EVER has to be found and moved back to the primary while in dual screen mode. Why doesn't Poser reset and recenter sub windows like other programs do?

Your best recourse is to create a UI setting using the memory dots. Those settings are retained when Poser is restarted and can be a great benefit for you under the circumstances. Otherwise, the only other alternative is a reboot into factory settings which will undo any custom arrangements.

Might work, but would have to have a set-up a dot for every function with a pop up.

And resetting to factory is a pain. Would be better if they fixed the program to work like other programs that migrate back to original screen when 2nd/3rs screens disconnected.

I have my system set up so it re-starts to factory default and a ui dot set for my 2 screen set-up. Thus it is just a one click option to go to the 2 screen set up.
