Multiple Monitors

Post by TimmyLee »

I'm loving this program and using it daily. Today, however, for some reason my multiple monitors started showing the same image at the same time which is not what we want. I haven't made any changes except to enable sub folders. I'm not sure if it matters or if it's even relevant, but I went in and unchecked them all, then added them one folder at a time instead of add subfolders in one swoop and it seemed to have fixed it. Is this common?

Folder list has nothing to do with what is displayed on the monitor.
If the same image is displayed on both monitors there are two possibilities:
- in windows the second monitor is set as a clone of the primary one
- In the multiple monitors page of gPhotoShow pro "Display method" has been set to display the same image on all monitors

Ok thanks. I was able to resolve that issue by realizing that when you toggle the directory to select the sub-folders, you apparently must then untoggle the main directory or apparently they will be duplicated the same on both screens.

I don't understand what you mean exactly, I can only underline again that gPhotoShow automatically scans the configured folders and all subfolders, if you add folder c:\mypics and it contains c:\mypics\one and c:\mypics\two you must only add c:\mypics NOT the subfolders otherwise you will get duplicate images

Apparently I don't either. I had come to the conclusion, somehow, that if you don't select the sub-folders it would not include them. Apparently it does. I'm not quite sure why you would then have an option to include them if they already would be. But glad to see that works. Thanks!
