fullscreen mode on second screen only (Mac)?
I'am using a Macbook Pro whith a second Display. Is it possible to have a patch in fullscreen mode on the second display only? Is it a mac OS problem or do I miss something? Can anyone help please...
thanks, ole
If the jit.window will go into full screen on which ever monitor it is currently residing on. You can drag it to the monitor you wish, or I often set it up like this [jit.window @pos 1700 100 @fullscreen 1] so that the window gets moved and put into fullscreen when the patch loads. Just use whatever @pos values you need to move the window to your second display.

thanks, good to know, but what is about a plain max/msp-patch?
move your patcher to the second screen
and turn on this:

this is exactly what is not working- when I turn on the fullscreen mode on in the patcher (which I had moved to the second display) it opens in the main display (having the Mac menu strip in the main display)...
this has been mentioned a few times now. it's a bug. it will be fixed. for now just use the rect message to jit.window, and look at jit.display for help with this.

Hi,
Added question: How do you lock automatically a video window (jit.window) on a second screen (or/and a third one) when the patch opens ?
=> I know how to do the fullscreen thing, but what I don't know is how to be sure the window is automatically moved to a second (or third) screen, without clicking on anything.
I can notice that Max remembers if a window had been moved before to a second screen (and so it moves the window automatically when the patch re-opens), but I would like to be 100% sure it does lock it completely to another screen, with a formula, or something.
Any help ? Thanks !!!

Just use the rect attribute like Rob said 10 years ago :) You can specify screen coordinates, so lets say you have a 1920x1080 screen and a 1024x768 projector set up as if your desktop continues to the right of your screen . In this case your rect coordinates will be 1920 0 2944 768 (i.e. x and y origin followed by x and y outer edges). Otherwise, I think you can use the pos and size attributes with the same thinking. If you don't know what size monitor it will be on you can get it with jit.displays
Hi Luke, thanks for the reply !
Ok, I checked the attribute and yes it works ! At least you can put the window where you want.
I'm gonna investigate this technique. I guess it can work with multiple video monitors ?
Thanks !
