Dual display windows

Perock · 11-09-2024, 05:41 AM

I use Calibre on Windows to keep track of all my books.
However, for ergonomic reasons, I would like the software to open on my second monitor.
Currently, I have to manually move the window every time it opens because it doesn't seem to remember its last position.
Is there a way to make it open on my second monitor automatically (other than designating my second monitor as the primary one)?

What OS?
Why, because Windows remembers where things are pretty much for every version. (there was a few releases the QT really hurt windows, they would shrink every time you tried to move them. that is long passed)

My current is W10. The Library opens on the Top monitor, Editor on the Bottom monitor and Preview/Viewer on the side (portrait monitor)

I'm on Windows 11 home (23h2).
Only the main Calibre program seems to be affected by this. The reader remembers where I left off, but the library doesn't.
