Switch apps to different monitors?

[zamboknee]

Maybe a stretch but have to ask....

 

Is there a way to have Alfred move an app to a different monitor in a 2 monitor setup?

I get that this is a very specific thing but I have 2 monitors that are essentially in 2 different rooms connected to the same computer.

I'd like to be able to, let's say, open Davinci Resolve on monitor 1 and only use it on that monitor.

You might see if the "Send Window to Different Screen” Automation Task helps.

I've been using Acidham / Alfred Window Manager (https://github.com/Acidham/alfred-window-manager) with a hotkey configured to move windows to a different monitor. I think I found it through the Gallery - it has been smooth and painless.

Note that uses the Automation Tasks to perform the actions, so it reinforces @Stephen_C’s suggestion. I encourage anyone to build their own window manager with those, as it’s straightforward to do, can be set up exactly as you like, and it’s a good way to learn about connecting objects in workflows.

Huh. This was definitely a case of "oh look, there's a workflow that does exactly what I want, easily discovered in the Gallery." But, as my ignorance is showing re Automation Tasks, I shall poke around a bit. Thanks.

Have fun! The page @Stephen_C linked has some examples. The Learning workflows in the Gallery also tend to make heavy use of them. Sequential Paste and Label Colour Tag both do.
