According to everything I've read in the Ubuntu forums, its up to the application developers to choose to allow the program to remember its window position. Is it possible to add this feature to kdenlive? It would be great for those who run dual monitor setups.

Thanks

while I see that as a desirable thing built in kdenlive it's not neccessary. You make it open on whatever display you want. I am not sure how kdenlive opens (config to edit) but with some googling I am sure you'll get it. Here's an example of someone having Elisa on their second monitor.

If that doesn't work I almost guarentee you can edit the menu entry for kdenlive to look something like this

DISPLAY=":0.1" kdenlive
(NOTE: you must change display setting to match your setup)

That use to be a easy thing to do with Pre-Unity Ubuntu, but now I'm not sure how to get to the kdenlive menu entry without adding gnome panel.

Google just doesn't seem to be the friend it used to be :)

Thanks for your response!

I too use a dual monitor setup, two 21" monitors with an overall 2560x1024 display using NVidia Twinview and I like the option to open either screen and fully maximise 2 apps to individual screens.

BUT there are some apps like kdenlive where I like to fully maximised over the two screens and it's a pain to have to manually drag the 'canvas' fully over every time.

Dragging kdenlive fully maximised over two screens and saving the layout doesn't solve the problem on reopening kdenlive is constrained to one monitor again.

From memory this wasn't an issue on Windows with NVidia as the nView features had an option to maximise over two screens in the header of the application window along with roll up, minimise and maximise but doesn't appear to be available in Gnome, KDE or xfce, maybe Fluxbox might. :-)

Although I haven't looked into solving the problem one way could be the ability to have more than one kdenlive 'canvas' to layout the various panels in, opening each canvas in a separate monitor maximised.
