Re: Hoster Show Nightmare - A 3rd video card was used and dialogs moved to it

Clearly Hoster can handle multiple display cards as you used three. Thanks for letting us know that.

I see this as your desire... not Hoster's deficit. We have never addressed this, not is it mentioned in the manual, nor has it ever been asked for before. Well... read on.

Hoping they conceder implementing this idea, it would be a Big Plus...
OK, we added a task to our Hoster spec document to add code that automatically forces the Singers display, Search & Singer dialogs to the computer display when the code finds them "defaulted outside" any available display limits (i.e. if they were on display #3 that is now disconnected, it will reset them to display #1). This would have automatically made your dialogs visible to you. We see this as a small task.

We believe that to add full support to show multiple display cards and allow you to select one or more is a large task. Given that we have only had one Forum discussion (6+ years ago) about a multi-head video card, to add this complex code will not be added to our spec document.
