Better multi-monitor support

Asked by Kurt Smolderen

Right now, if you have a multi monitor setup, Globus Preview will display its window on the monitor you were last working on (i.e. where nautilus is displayed on) but with a window size proportional to the whole desktop size. If you were working on the right-most monitor, this causes some part of the preview window to fall off the screen. I think a better behaviour would be to fuse only use one monitor to show the preview on; but I have no idea whether this is technically easy to implement.

Hey!
Sounds good to do this, but my problem is that I don't have a dual monitor to test it.. however I think that is completely possible to do this since there are functions to get the size of each monitor

I agree. It would be great if the preview window would resize to a percentage of the monitor size that the nautilus window was residing. Currently the preview window is horizontally sizing to a sum of the two windows resulting in the preview window spanning off the screen.

I'm experiencing the same thing. When I'm just on my laptop it works great. When I dock at work and have two monitors (laptop and lcd) it extends off the main monitor onto the laptop monitor with the bottom half cut off since the laptop is smaller vertically than the lcd.

The same problem for me. No dualmonitor support.
