Wings 3D Development Forum

I have 2 screens and sometimes I like to record tutorials.
So I moved my Windows main screen to screen 2 to get my Start bar out of my videos.
Loaded up Wings, right-clicked to create a cube, and the context menu comes up on the main screen, not in the middle of the Wings window like it has for 500,000 years.

I need to have this behaviour changed.

Hi some_yahoo

That's a bug already reported in the Bug sessio.
Despite the title, follow this link
Fixed] Wings Crashes on HDMI Monitor in 3 Monitor Setup and download the patch.
I recommend you to apply all of them available for v2.2.9 - I'm assuming that is the version you are using.

Applied all 4 patches, now the first menu comes up on screen 2 as desired, but subsequent menus come up on screen 1 and I can't click it.

...so I can click Extrude , but the X/Y/Z/Normal menu comes up on screen 1 and no amount of clicking selects anything.

some_yahoo , sorry about that. Very annoying indeed.
I'm going to take a look on it this night.

Hi some_yahoo
I took a look on the problem and I found I didn't updated the wings_menu.beam file with the latest fix I had applied last month.

Please, just download and apply the wings_menu.beam path again. (Wings3D needs to be restarted after that)

It still acts the same, and it gives me this:

Also, I am on Win 11 if that matters.

Oh boy!

some_yahoo, sorry again. I didn't pay attention what I was doing.
This time I forgot to upload a second file I have changed and also I used the newest version or Erlang to build them.

So, I recompiled them using the version used to build the v2.2.9 and it should be OK now - at least it worked for me (using the installed version).
Download the wings_menu.beam and wings_io_wx.beam from pathes repository.
