I've been using my Tablet PC (no keyboard) as a wireless client to give me portable access from around the stage. When running the EOS Software 1.4.5, I opened my commonly used displays as Tabs, and could simply select the needed display by clicking on it.

Now in the 1.7 Software, it seems like they've split the program into two windows, clearly an attempt to emulate two external monitors. However, this makes things more difficult to control when I have to swap back and forth between two windows (each with enough information that they need to be almost maximized). Is there a way to effectively close one of the windows to bring it back to a one-window environment?

"X"-ing out either window simply closes the whole program, and there's no "Monitor Arangement" options in Settings, as there is on the console itself...

If you launch Eos offline by going to C:\Program Files\ETC\Eos and double-clicking Eos.exe, you should start up in single window mode.

Hi,

You should be able to open it with the Apple Script Editor.  There's only 1 line in each script:

Element Shortcut:

do shell script "'/Applications/Eos Family.app/Contents/MacOS/Eos Family' ELEMENT &> /dev/null &"

Ion Shortcut:

do shell script "'/Applications/Eos Family.app/Contents/MacOS/Eos Family' ION &> /dev/null &"

Hi, nope you save it as application , it has to be saved just as script to be editable. 

don't worry I can recreate the script my own now. 

Thanks !

AppleScripts saved as applications can, in fact, be opened by Script Editor.  Just open it from within instead of double-clicking it like you would a non-app script.  However, one can save an app as "run only", which can't be opened -- it's a way to protect your code.
