Center a window on the screen
I have a 24" widescreen monitor and would like to center a window in that so that it is right at eye level. Moving things around is great, but sometimes its good to be right in front of me. But a nice little program you made - very useful.

Inappropriate?Hey Scott, how would you like to see this done? Should the window be resized to a predefined resolution (800x600 for example), or should the size stay the same, just be moved?
-
Inappropriate?that's a cool thought - a predefined resolution would work best. Especially if it could be defined on a per monitor setup (I have two different size screens, one vertical and one horizontal)
Or a "middle screen" option in addition to top, bottom, left, right. That could also work well. -
Inappropriate?This certainly would be a useful addition to SizeUp. I already have a script that does this which I launch via FastScripts (great application BTW), but I'll have to roll that into SizeUp for a future release. Thank you for the push in the right direction =)

Inappropriate?Hey Scott, I finally got around to implementing the "Center" action like you wanted. You can optionally define a resize resolution, but unfortunately for the time being it's a global setting and not monitor specific. I hope to add the ability to make per-monitor, per-application, per-action settings in a future release. Stay tuned.

Inappropriate?Hi - This is awesome - great implementation. So many choices. Hard to remember all the keystrokes! One quirk - when the window is on the second monitor - and I move it to the main monitor - then try to move it to a quadrant - it jumps back to the secondary monitor. This happens regardless if I start on monitor one or two. Not a problem for me as I don't think I'll use that feature much, but just to give you feedback. Totally think you should increase the price too - it is a even more handy now.

Hey Scott, that's an interesting issue you've run into. I can't seem to reproduce it here, but maybe with a little more info. When you try resizing to Quadrant, is the window completely containing on the primary monitor or is part of the window on the secondary monitor? What are the resolutions of your monitors? Thanks. -
Inappropriate?i have a 1680x1050 main display (white intel imac) and a 1200x1920 Dell monitor connected via DVI that is rotated 90 deg for a vertical display. While the Dell is the second monitor (ie dock and menu bar are on the imac) the Dell is the main one I use.
Anytime I start moving a screen with sizeup, it makes the Dell the main actor. Meaning, even if I start moving a window around on imac, as soon as I try to center or maximize, the window jumps back to the Dell.
it seems to happen with Up/down and quarter screen and Full/Center. Even when I open up a new application which is fully on the imac - it will jump to the second monitor any time I try to control it at all with any command.
It definatley did NOT do this before the update today. It actually is a hassle b/c the full screen is something I use a lot.2 Comments Add a comment

Hey Scott, I'm sorry you're running into these issues. I have to admit that multiple-monitors is probably the least tested part of SizeUp, simply due to the boggling number of possibilities to test. I'll do some more testing here, but in the mean time here's a link to the previous version if it helps you get along:

Hey Scott, quick question, what side is your Dell monitor on? Would you mind taking a screencapture of your System Preferences > Displays settings? Thanks.
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for the old version - that helps.
Attached is the screenshot. Anything I can do to help fix the bug - just let me know.

Inappropriate?Very strange. THe problem went away. I logged into another account on my Mac and when I returned, behavior went back to normal. Everything worked as it should.
I know I'm not crazy - there actually was a problem! Maybe logging out fixed it.1 Comment Add a comment

Phew, that's a relief =)
And don't worry, I believe you, I've run into some crazy behavior similar to this before, I just haven't found a way to consistently reproduce it. My running theory is that OS X gets confused about what monitors are connected and where, so the coordinates I base my calculations on ended up sending windows all over the place.
I appreciate the news, let me know if there's anything else I can do.
