barrygordon Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 In my theater I have a PC that drives two monitors, one the primary desktop, is 1024x768 and is used to display system status. The second (Monitor 2) is the Projector in the theater at 1920x1080p. I map monitor 2 (the projector) to be an extended desktop flush at the top of the primary monitor and to the right of the primary monitor. Ergo its upper left hand corner is at coordinates 1024,0. When I want to display things on that monitor I simply offset the left coordinate by 1024 pixels. If there is someway to do that with the 5.6 release, I would appreciate someone telling me how.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Barry,My experience is that a PTE show automatically covers the main (1st) monitor.Regards,Xaver H.Munich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrygordon Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I concur, but that is not what I want/need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 We're finishing a feature for nearest version PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.7 which will allow to run a slideshow (and preview) on second display.I'm glad to say that performance is very good and playback of a slideshows on second display is perfect.Currenly we've added:1) You can choose display for fullscreen Preview in settings of PicturesToExe.By default it is a primary display. And it's possible to choose second display when you press Preview button in the main window of the program.2) Command line parameter for any EXE file with a slideshow (since v5.7) to point a desired display. For example: MySlideshow.exe -display 2What we can make more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Tom,Interesting. So does the PTE editor stay visible on one monitor and the preview on the other monitor? Will this work on laptops too?Exactly!Beta testing of v5.7 will begin in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
