Differ listers when double clicking on different monitors

Help & Support
1

Hi, I have two monitors (a big 4K monitor in landscape and a HD monitor in Portrait). I like opening listers by double clicking on the screen. Is it possible to open one layout of lister on the portrait monitor when I double click on it and another layout when I double click on the landscape monitor?

Thanks
Dave

Hi Leo, ok linked, sorry I thought I was as I've posted before.

Thank you!

To set this up, grab my Area Command script and open its config window as described in the post about it.

You'll want to define two areas, one for each monitor.

If you want to open two different layouts, the commands for each area would be like this:

Prefs LAYOUT="My Layout 1"

...changing the layout name as appropriate.

The linked post also has a section on the setting to change to make desktop double-click run the script, which you'll want to do.

Let me know if you hit any snags or need the script expanding in some way.
