Post From: Multiple Instances / Multiple Monitors / Single Data Folder

I have 4 monitors. I want to be able to open a separate chartbook on each monitor. The one way I have seen is to operate with a single chartbook and then detach charts and move them to the other monitors. This is unacceptable as I need to organize my charts using separate chartbooks.

The other way I've seen is to create separate instances and have a different instance running on each monitor. This is almost acceptable except it requires me to operate using 4 different data folders due to the fact that sub instances default to their own data folder and this cannot be changed.

An example a problem this creates is if one selects a chartbook from the default folder to open by automatically within instance #2 this fails because instance #2 looks for that chart in instance #2's data folder and not the default.

This seems to be a rudimentary problem so I'm sure there is a simple solution to opening multiple chartbooks on multiple monitors.
