I honestly don’t get the fuss about multi-monitor support. Mavericks doesn’t add multi-monitor support, it’s always been there. What Mavericks does is fix multi-monitor behavior for fullscreen applications, which I personally would never use on a display larger than 13" anyway, non-fullscreen behavior hardly changed, so I really don’t understand the big deal.
- kalleboo 13y agoIdeal uses for full screen on an external monitor: Video, presentations, photo slideshows.
- tlrobinson 13y agoFixing multi-monitor fullscreen support was my only desired "feature" since they broke it about 4 years ago.
- mitchty 13y agoI thought it only broke for fullscreened applications? I never had any issues with regular multi-monitor setups with any of the recent os upgrades as far as non fullscreen use goes. What was broke there?
- tlrobinson 13y agoYes, I said fullscreen.
- mitchty 13y agoJust making sure I didn't miss anything, thanks!
- bdunbar 13y agoIt is, I'm told, ideal for paired coding.
- achy 13y agoA lot of people have macbooks and external secondary displays. Just as you said, these people should be able to go fullscreen on their laptop and still utilize the connected display...
- micampe 13y agoYes, of course. I didn’t say the feature shouldn’t be there, I said that multi-monitor was broken only for fullscreen, so “Mavericks adds multi-monitor support” is a slight overstatement. But yeah, I see people have strong feelings about this issue, I just personally don’t get it.
