Anne, from then on known as the “ King’s beloved sister,” spent the rest of her days in England, outliving not only her former husband, but both of the wives that followed her and her one-time stepson, Edward VI. Declaring “I like her not! I like her not!” after his first meeting with her, the English king only went through with the wedding to maintain diplomatic ties with Anne’s home, the German Duchy of Cleves, and other Protestant allies across the European continent.Īfter just six months of marriage, Henry, eager to replace his short-reigning queen with the young, vivacious Catherine Howard, had the union annulled on the grounds of non-consummation and Anne’s pre-contract with Francis, Duke of Lorraine.

The solution I ended up with is less than ideal: let OS X handle the window distribution and learn to work on a laptop with only a single desktop. I’m assuming this is an API/SDK limitation as this seems like a pretty obvious feature idea. ![]() There was no option to pull all apps to one desktop when plugged in to a monitor, then distribute them again when unplugged.The difference here was better than default OS X window handling, but not that much better. While windows would be restored most of the time, they wouldn’t be restored all of the time. ![]() I can’t remember the details of each at this point, but I tried a couple of them for a week or so each (pretty sure I did both Stay and Display Maid, can’t recall on Size-Up or Optimal Layout).Īfter evaluating a few options, I saw the same problems consistently: ![]() It looks like this is an annoyance I share with others, as there are a bunch of utilities out there that hope to solve this problem: Now that I’m back to using a laptop full time, I’m right back to the old hassle of having my windows scatter all over the place when I connect and disconnect an external display.
