I am unsure whether this is a AudioCodex bug or not. But I have been running my MacBook with a projector and not having the displays mirroring - putting the visualiser onto the projector screen and the main AC screen on the macBook screen which is the main screen (with OS X menu bar). In this set up the projector screen was positioned on the left of the MacBook Screen. All of the HUD displays (ie the visualiser, inspector, etc.) came up on the projector screen. This was a great use of AC (better than iTunes) as yu can have the visualiser displayed separately from the main app.

When I returned back to my desk I connected the macBook up to my monitor and again run the two displays without mirroring. This time the MacBook screen is to the right of the monitor and the monitor is the main screen (ie with the OS X Menu Bar).

My problem: I couldn't get hold of the inspector or the other HUD panels. They were still appearing to the left - except that there was no screen to the left on the main screen.

I'm not sure if you need to add something like "Gather all panels" to the menu.

The way I got around this problem was to logically move the Mac Book screen (in Dsiplays Prefs) to the left of the main screen grab the Inspector screen (in AC) and move it onto the main screen. Then logically move the Mac Book screen back to its normal position in Display Prefs.

It had me frustrated and confused for a while.

Thanks for a great app,
Vince

Hi Vince,

I've recently encountered this one a few times myself; its due to an oversight in the code that maintains window positions from launch to launch; when you relaunch the app after quitting it with the inspector on a secondary screen, then relaunch with only one screen connected, the Inspector is being opened at the saved coordinates of the second screen.

I will fix this for v 1.5, but for now, a temporary workaround it to go to the 'Help' menu, scroll down to 'Advanced' and choose the 'Reset Preferences' option and 'OK' the dialog window that comes up; this will remove the incorrect window coordinates and put the Inspector back to its default location.

Cheers,

Mantis

Thanks for the reply - I'm relieved that I wasn't the only who suffered this - but I wasn't sure whether it was unique to AC or all apps due to the way that the multiple displays are handled by the OS.

Still the fix will be welcome.
