twin screens

[scoutdubna]

My computer has two screens. In preview it is possible to select Display 1 or Display 2. In the final production is it possible to have some pics displayed on screen 1 and others on display 2. Is there a work round to get this working.

You could start one slideshow and then use run slideshow command with -display 1 or -display 2 command line option. I have not tested but it should work.

Thanks Tom I'll give that a go.

I can't get that to work. It will only show on one screen whereas I am wanting to have two screen controlled independently ie one slide changing on one screen and another on the second screen.

Thanks for trying.

Chris,

You wont be able to achieve this one slide changing on one screen and another on the second screen ... because the PTE slideshow is running in a single instance. To achieve something to simulate your effect you need to run two different instances (not duplicate) of PTE ... thus providing multiple(2) graphic engines to independently suppply each screen.

* Dealing with pictures is one problem ... dealing with music is another (unless only one of the shows has music)

* Essentially you need to run two(2) slideshows compiled somewhat alike ... but different.
