JPR Support

Hi,

Evaluating this software after a guest amateur theatre company were using it in our small theatre for SFX cues because it is so much easier than full blown theatre cue systems for simple shows.
One thing that I can't seem to sort out yet is that it does not remember which display screen it was on between sessions. We have three touch screens 1,2,3. I want the Windows main screen to always be screen 1 and Jingle palette to always be on screen 3. No mater what I do Jingle Palette always starts on whichever screen is set as the main screen. I can change the main screen to any of the three and it will open on that screen but I cannot make it open in the last place it was used. I even tried changing the main screen, opening it and then changing the main screen back to screen 1, along with several other combinations of sequence to try and get it to stick. No luck.

Any ideas?

Hi jasbent,

Thanks for your report

Nice setup you have there

You are right, today, Jingle Palette is not designed to remember which monitor was used at the last session, especially because most users are running it with one monitor. I don't know yet if it is possible to define this in the programming language used for making Jingle Palette, I have to search about this point.

Can you download this https://jinglepalettereloaded.com/files ... nitors.zip and make some tests?

Place the Monitors.exe file on monitor 1 (left I suppose) of your setup and execute it. A window should be displayed, and should show a basic drawing of your monitors setup, and the monitor where the windows is displayed should be bordered as green, the two other, red.
Close it and move the exe to monitor 2 (middle monitor) and repeat the operation, the window should be displayed on monitor 2, and the middle monitor should be green on the drawing.
Same for monitor 3 (right monitor), place the exe on it and start it, it should be displayed on right monitor, and it should be green on the drawing.

Please make a screenshoot of each test and joint them here

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I've done the monitors.exe test and it worked as described. So I think you're on the right lines.

Screenshots attached.

PS

For the sake of completeness this is how Windows Display settings and OBS Studio see my display setup...

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I have to tweak the code and implent it in Jingle Palette. I'll try to do this for v5.7, but you'll have to wait because there already some work of programming
