Default Mix Window - Assign to secondary display

Hi,

Is it possible to get the mix window to automatically open on a specified 'Spaces' Desktop on a secondary display? You can tell an application where to open within Mac OS, but I can't figure it out for windows within an application. Window configuration doesn't want to work with a second display, it always just opens it on my main window. Even though I set it up on my second display.

Basically, on launching a session it would be handy if Pro Tools remembered where the mix window was.

Any help is appreciated.

- T

It does.

Drag the mother window across both monitors and place the two daughter windows Edit/Mix as desired.

Then save and close using Alt-F4.

Thanks for the reply.

Could you please elaborate a little more? By mother window do you mean the 'new window configuration window'?

Will this also enable the mix window to open on my second display as soon as I launch a session? Or will I still have to go to Window Configurations and select the configuration?

Also i'm running Mac OS so Alt F4 isn't working.

Basically I want my Edit Window to open on Desktop 1 Space of Display 1, my Mix window to open on Desktop Space 1 of Display 2, and my MIDI window to open on Desktop Space 6 of Display 2 - On session launch. Is this possible?
