Re: display two opi viewers on different monitors

Tim,

Thanks for your explanation.  AT NSTX-U we're used to medm's separate window for each launched related display, and being able to be positioned and scaled to be seen across the operator's array of screens; this was a drawback for us to migrate to CSS/BOY. Your option 2 sounds like it'll launch detached windows, and I assume I can tweak software somewhere to make the Shift option a default.  I also didn't know the drag-tab-out was available - that wasn't years ago.

Hi Palak,

I presume the question you are asking is how to detach screens from the main session. The eclipse platform by default opens screens inside the main window. There are several options you can use to open screens independently:

1) You could drag the tab for an open screen to "detach" for displaying on your "secondary" monitor. Likewise you can stack several screens by dragging them into the same window.

2) If you created a top menu opi screen that uses action buttons to open particular screens, you can open the screen in a new window by holding <shift> when clicking the action button. Holding down <control> while clicking the action button will open the screen as a separate tab in the window.

Regards,
Tim
