I normally keep the Property View on another monitor, thus outside the main FC window.
I can't see how to achieve this. Any attempt to move it outside the main window simply restores it to the main window.
Doesn't seem to be any preferences controlling it.

Re: Linkstage3 UI: can't move Property View to another monitor
This is one of the reasons I gave up on Linkstage, I have a really nice dual monitor system and I can only use one monitor when I run it. If I switch back and forth between standard and LInkstage then my panel placements get all messed up.

Re: Linkstage3 UI: can't move Property View to another monitor
I have a fix for this; Attached is a macro that is essentially a blank widget except for the close button. What I found is that if you drag the blank widget over the Properties panel (float the panel) for instance it will dock with the panel and create an additional tab. Once the added panel is docked then it can be dragged to the other screen and it will stay. You can then resized and switch from tab to tab. It's all kind of weird but you will probably figure it out. Once the panels are placed on the second monitor then you can restart LinkStage and they will stay there (unless you mess with them) .
Edit: I also had issues with LinkStage hanging when closed but once I did a restart all the panels were correct.
