XnviewMP + 2 monitors
Hello
I have Manjaro Linux KDE and 2 monitors. XnviewMP installed from AUR repository.
When I open any image in full screen mode it always opens on my left monitor which is not main. It is old, has 4:3 aspect ratio and it is supportive. I need to see full screen on my main big monitor, but i can't do it. I didn't find any suitable option for this in options.
Slideshow also opens on left monitor and there is no option to fix it. Or maybe I can't find it.
Please help me if it is possible. And sorry for my bad English.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
Hi there, just an idea: in Settings under View>Fullscreen have you un-checked "Dual monitor: Use second monitor"?

Hi, thanks for the answer. Yes, it is unchecked. I tried to check, and uncheck this option, but there is no effect.Sprawl2459 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 7:31 pm Hi there, just an idea: in Settings under View>Fullscreen have you un-checked "Dual monitor: Use second monitor"?

I forgot to tell one thing, and it may be important. I use wayland, not X11.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
On archlinux (arcolinux) with xfce4 on 2 monitors (laptop + monitor), xnview window ends up on various screens and even partially outside screen, when zooming or opening new window?
Irfanview + wine behave normally. It seems like xnview enforces its rules on window manager and the result is random behaviour.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
I use xfce4, so it's not Wayland.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
Version 1.7.2 runs without problems on xfce4.
Only minor bug appears. Switching from fullscreen to windowed-mode doesn't do "fit window to image" but some cut-out. That is resolved as soon as zoom is applied. I didn't check if it happens only on 2-screen-configuration or always.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
In my case it's still random in 1.7.2. On X11 it seems no random. All fullscreen images always goes to second monitor regardless of option "Use second monitor...".
I noted that slideshow also shows images only on second monitor (on wayland and X11). Very strange behaviour.

Re: XnviewMP + 2 monitors
Can confirm. Slideshow always ever starts on screen 3 (that is vertical) for me.
Fullscreening opens on the same monitor the app is running on.
