My layout will no longer use my right monitor

D|S 4.10 Beta Win7 64 bit
My layout will no longer use my right monitor
if I click preview for my custom set up it flashes the tabs on my right monitor but will not load them.
This started yesterday and continued with the latest beta
I had my viewport on the centre one, tabs on the right, I use the left one for Skype, GPU-z, Task manager and anything I need to open while using studio like my browser or Windows explorer.
trying to redo it from City Limits by undocking and dragging groups of panels made undockable to my right monitor crashed DAZ studio
DAZStudio.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "E:\programs\Daz\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4 Public Build\DzCore.dll" at 0033:00000000D8440456, DzPane::moveToGroup()+86 byte(s)
I successfully created a new custom setting using my left monitor for the tabs instead with viewport on my centre one
which is workable, I just have to get used to looking the opposite way for everything but am puzzled why this occurred.
Comments
well obviously I am the only one with this issue, it is a right pain and may result in my rearranging my monitors on my desktop as it affects my ease of use of several programs while rendering in DAZ studio.
well this just gets better
my Current layout does the same thing if saved then chosen
the DSA
// DAZ Studio version 4.10.0.107 filetype DAZ Script
var oFileInfo = new DzFileInfo( getScriptFileName() );
var sLayoutName = "latest";
if( oFileInfo.baseName() === sLayoutName )
{
var oActionMgr = MainWindow.getActionMgr();
var oPaneMgr = MainWindow.getPaneMgr();
var sPath = String( "%1/actions/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );
oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );
sPath = String( "%1/menus/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );
oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );
sPath = String( "%1/toolbars/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );
oPaneMgr.removeAllToolBars();
oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );
oPaneMgr.setOrientTabsAlongTop( false );
oPaneMgr.setUseWorkflowAssistance( false );
oPaneMgr.setShowLessonStrip( false );
oPaneMgr.enableActivityBar( false );

my log file
I had to kill D|S in TM after applying my layout in order to not lose it as it apparently cannot be saved in a working format
just opened the new DS update and my 2 monitor setup is all fine
lucky you
I have 3 monitors and my viewport not resizing either
Close the Shader panes to get the Viewport to resize corectly.
In order to move a pane/pane group to another display it does, as far as I know, have to be set to be Undockable, though as I have only the oen display I can't check that. The Make undockable/Make dockable commands are in the pane's option menu.
yes I know and manually set it up so but it will not reopen next time on my right monitor or saved reload as a layout in app data roaming even on my left one.
I havd tried many customised dsx layouts saved, none work, they flash up and vanish leaving only the main window both as preview and accept.
I think its some hardware clash or maybe a Windows update issue on my PC as nobody else seems to be seeing it, so far only DAZ studio affected, my other programs such as iClone and Poser have their floating tabs on multiple monitors as expected.
Perhaps make a bug report, attaching the .dsx files from c:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Daz 3D\Studio4\ (which are the files containing the layout - I think only layout.dsx would be needed but the others may be relevant)
https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/234396/how-do-you-have-daz-set-out-with-two-monitors#latest
an answer at last
I use display port and HDMI on those two monitors and have had all my icons rearrange
also a studio update seems to have fixed it anyway
