Mea culpa! i admit that i am confusing myself as well. Let me try once more.
I am using fvwm2 (2.6.9).
I have two monitors and the following config:
DesktopSize 3x3
DesktopName 0 Main
DesktopName 1 Dev
DesktopName 2 Bills
DesktopName 3 Chat
as i understand this, i now have four desktops, each with 9 pages on
them - this is what FvwmPager agrees with.
As i move between desks, i often try and stick to adding windows to
the correct desks so that i have some separation of work ("Dev" for
development, "Chat" for ms-teams, etc.) This works well for me.
But sometimes I find that I want to shift the windows from, say, the
"Dev" desk to my other monitor which is free of any windows. so i
thought i had to do it like this:
all (desk 1) movetoscreen
where i first of all open fvwmconsole on screen2 (the one i want
windows from the Dev desktop to move from) and run the command.
This works - the windows from the Dev desktop are moved to screen2,
but they don't keep the page they were on, on the new screen - every
window is now on the same page on screen2. what i want is for the
windows on the Dev desk to move across to screen2, "mirroring" the
location/page they were on screen1 with, only now, on screen2.
Does this make any sense now? i hope it does - apologies if it isn't -
and i will try again to explain
thanks all for your time.
Ethan
