Dual Screen Modal Confusion

Question

macOS Sonoma.

Dual screen scenario - second screen is acting as a touch screen tablet.

Moved the Photoshop main window to the second screen with the new Move To buttons behind the green window button (top left).

With the main PS window on the second screen, a lot of the modal dialogs display back on the main screen. Breaks the flow since you are first wondering why you aren't seeing the pop over in the right place. You end up manually moving small windows.

Default should be follow the main window unless I've manually placed it elsewhere.

Hey, @dw24154351. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

As of now, most in-app modals appear on the primary display. You can move the Windows as per your use case and set up and save the workspace from the Window menu > New Workspace. Also, once the dialog appears on the primary window, you can drag it to the secondary display, and the specific window should subsequently open on the secondary window.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
