P: Ability to assign a second monitor with more than 3 monitors

Glad it's useful to someone 😄

This is the ONLY thing that has worked in a reliable, repeatable way. Oh my god... Thank you!

I have an iMac 27" with a secondary 19" Display and an iPad (with AirDisplay App) as a third monitor (use it to inspect some procedures taking place in the background) i used this disposition with my macbook pro and worked just fine,  but with my iMac it always selects the iPad as the secondary monitor, this is obviously not right i want my 19" screen to be the secondary monitor. The only workaround I've encountered is to uncheck the use full screen mode (on the secondary display in lightroom) and I can manually move the secondary display (lightroom) to the monitor I want, this is what Adobe is suggesting, not entirely sure that this is a perfect solution but it helps, although I'm not satisfied that there is no way to tell lightroom which monitor is the secondary display that it should use.

As soon as I check the Use Full Screen option it goes back to selecting my iPad as secondary screen.

This is 5 years later and on lightroom CC 2016, it seems Adobe never took this as a serious issue.

I have three monitors, and of course Lightroom is choosing the wrong monitor as its secondary display. Minimizing the window and moving it to the preferred screen on a Mac induces SERIOUS lag time. I don't know why this is, but it basically makes the secondary display useless if you're doing any sort of editing and want to see realtime updates. Is it really that hard to offer the option to choose the secondary display?

We're talking about 2007 technology in 2016 here. Just write two lines of code and give your users the option to choose!

Workaround on Windows using Autohotkey (search and install it)

You'll need to adjust the coordinates on the line with WinMove instruction

Add a shortcut to this script in
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
So it starts with Windows.

Enjoy!

I was considering upgrading from LR5 but I see it's not worth it.

Lightroom 6.3 Secondary Display (full screen) defaults to Monitor 3 (or 2 or 4) depending on which is the last monitor. Can't it be specified to one particular monitor.

BTW I can use panels in all monitors in Premiere Pro CC so... LR is so obsolete in this regard.

Ditto above by James. I have 4 monitors and why does LR only use 2. Ability to designate where windows, displays open are expected today -- this ain't the 90s.

For me, F11, move window and Shift-F11 doesn't work. Always goes to monitor 4... which is the poorest color rendition meant for my email and non-essentials...

Don't get me started on the entire CC concept.. I think it's retarded. It ends up costing way more than just buying it and personally I don't want ANY of my photographs on anyone's Cloud... If I want them on the internet, I'll post them. I don't even want or need my photo processing computer to be on the internet, EVER. Anything they can do over the cloud, could have been done on my own computer with 8 core processor and 32GB of ram... faster... If I want to edit on location, I will do so on a powerful laptop with a good screen and graphics card, not a tablet or phone.. CC has NO usefulness to professionals, it's a gimmick like google Picasa.. good for kids to play around with, but not really professional and just a way to sucker people out of more money on a regular basis.

Ug I REFUSE to download Acrobat Reader DC as well.. sticking to 11... Why in the world would I need or want to send my pdf file to somewhere online just to convert it to a word document? geese, I can just cut and paste most of them.. and the ones I can't I can run through my own OCR software.. wow technology from the 90's why do I need a document cloud for or pay anything for that?

I will NEVER buy any software with a subscription and pay monthly for it, NEVER EVER.. I'll make due with something else.
