[SOLVED] KDE Plasma - Open application of Screen X

Hi, I'm having trouble with something in KDE. I want to open a particular application on my second screen automatically. Right now I have to manually move it when it opens (which is a keyboard shortcut so hardly taxing).

The application in question is Kodi. I looked for options in the System Settings, but start on a particular screen doesn't seem to be exposed. Since it has a keyboard shortcut and a menu options (right click on the title bar and select move to screen X) this probably exists somewhere.

Be good if I can make shortcuts work automatically, but a script I can bind to a shortcut would be fine too since I only need to work for one app.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE Plasma - Open application of Screen X

How did I not notice the options for it! I've now set this through the system settings window rules. Option for screen was right there plain as day.

Me = Numpty

For reference:

System Settings > Window Management > Window Rules

New Rule > Size and Position Tab > Screen

Thanks, Solved.
