I realize that this is an older request but I too am looking for a solution to this. Apparently Adobe Lightroom likes to put the secondary display to the _left_ of the primary application window.

Primary app window = can be moved around with displayfusion without problems
secondary window - zip, zilch, nada (no df icons etc to show the hotkeys to move window)

Are there any workarounds for this?

Thanks kindly, ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#4 Tue, 24 May 2016 12:04:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#4 DisplayFusion Ok, the hot-key issue isnt a problem, because you can set custom hotkeys and whatnot in display fusion settings (or ideally in your case set it up to trigger automatically)
The reason it moves the main window, is because that window has the focus. Is there any way to focus on the secondary window? IE clicking it? then press the hotkey to move it.

If that fails, we can try getting the secondary window via a custom function. Does the secondary window have a title-bar? and if-so what text is on it? and does it vary from the primary windows text? (I'm trying to create a script that finds windows with (X) string in the title-bar then preforms the action of moving them) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#3 Tue, 24 May 2016 09:03:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#3 DisplayFusion Hi Jcee,

Thanks for the tip. Sadly the first shortcut moves the main Lightroom window to the next display and the second shortcut clashes with a Lightroom shortcut.

Lightroom's second screen did not move.

The search for a solution continues. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#2 Mon, 23 May 2016 22:19:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b#2 DisplayFusion I dont know about lightroom specifically, but display fusion does have a function: "Move Window to Next/Previous Monitor(s)" that moves most windows (even ones that cant normally be dragged) to another monitor.
Their hotkeys are:
Ctrl+win+x and ctrl+win+L
If those do work to move your window, you can create a function to automate the process; or just manually move it every time you open lightroom ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b Mon, 23 May 2016 09:29:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solution-for-lightroom-second-monitor-problem/?ID=3ee37b99-b9ff-4833-acb2-6a5dd4ace18b DisplayFusion Hi,

I discovered Display Fusion while searching for solutions to the way that my Nvidia graphics card (GTX 970) allocates display identities to the monitors I attach. As it would seem that I have no control over which identity number is attached to each monitor I wondered if Display Fusion could help.

I had read that Lightroom will use the next display identity number as the second monitor, however in my experience it uses whichever monitor is to the left of the main Lightroom window. Sadly this is not what I want as that means that it displays the second screen on a lesser quality monitor. I want Lightroom to use the display to the right as its second monitor.

Is there a way to use Display Fusion to force Lightroom to use a display I specify?

If there is then this would be a huge result for me and for lots of Lightroom users as Adobe still haven't fixed this issue.

Many thanks. ]]>
