layout does not position properly with multiple screens

[tbarbugli]

Hi,
I am using layout with multiple screen (13" and 24"). the size calc is still ok, but there is problem with the positioning of the window, I guess it does consider the screen position configuration as it is set in the screen prefs.

Can you give me a little more information? How are the screens oriented, which commands does it mess up on?

I'm having the same issue. On my 24", its positioning the screens as if they were on my 13".

Multiple screens at the same time?

If you are switching monitors, make sure you run resize reset. That recalculates screen size.

If you are on mountain lion, they changed the way screens were stored, so thats a known bug

That doesn't fix it. It still has the wrong size and the wrong placement on the bigger monitor. I'm on Lion.

dual monitor or monitor plugged in as primary?

[ghost]

I have Dual monitor plugged in; configured as Big monitor above laptop with the Big monitor acting as the primary monitor.

I'm running Mountain Lion with my MacBook Air closed and a 24" 1920x1200 external screen. Layouts seems to position windows like it was running on the internal display. Is this the ML bug, or something else?

[jgallen23]

Yeah, I'm having a lot of issues with getting the screen sizes of multiple monitors. I might have to write an objective c wrapper because I can't get the other monitor dimensions reliably with applescript.

https://github.com/brickattack/Alfred-Resizer manages to do it, but I have no idea what powers it.

[jgallen23]

Not really. It always resizes to your primary monitor.

[fuzzy76]

Oh. Well, it's probably better than what layouts currently do, but not good enough I guess.

maybe you can take a look of ASObjC Runner, http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/runner.html
