Get application to always open on second monitor?

[mrapoc]

I have hooked my hdtv up to the 2nd dvi port on my graphics card

I want power cinema to always launch on my tv taking up the whole of the screen for tv and the likes.

Is there a way?

Shouldn't it be doing this already as part of the Windows Size/location cache? Move the window where you want it and maximize it?

 

[mrapoc]

Nope doesnt seem to

I did just want to purely force the program to output onto the 2nd dvi somehow but looks like I have to setup dual screens.

Did that and annoyingly everytime i want to launch it i have to minimize it (it goes full screen on monitor), drag across and re maximise

not cool

thing is im planning to get a freesat tuner card and this program allows recording, pause, rewind etc.

There are free tools out there that will do this for any app that opens.

U can tag the window id with a screen position.

These sorta things have been around for decades and although I can't name a current 1 I have no doubt there are loads out there.

Only small apps.

yawn ultra mon does it. It always opens apps in the last window I used them.

Is this the best solution for hooking my hdtv up to a tv tuner?

Shame i cant just make the damn app output to 2nd dvi

ultra mon is deffo the best app for this mate, try it out

 

[mrapoc]

So the plan would be

Connect it up to pc on dvi

Set up ultra mon to open powercinema on the tv monitor whenever launched.

Would there be a way to hide the powercinema in the taskbar as I will probably get annoyed by it always being there when watching tv

Altra mon has a second screen taskbar iirc

 

[mrapoc]

will try it out

would also rep...but as its broke theres no point >.<
