0.84: „Special Effects” with Full Screen Mode on two monitors

Post by m.Th. »

Here are some nice steps to follow: (I really don't know if this is a bug...)

0. Have „Use 2nd monitor for Full Screen” checked. Press F11 to enable it.
1. Go to folder F1
2. DblClick on a file to open it in a new tab.
3. Come back to browser
4. Go to folder F2
5. Go to tab opened at step 2.
6. Press F11

Expected: ??? (perhaps to close the Full Screen from the second monitor?)
Actual: !!! (two Full Screen modes on both monitors)

Niceeee! Bug... Feature??

It is a BUG.

There are a ton of secondary effects which come from here - enough work to fix them.

So: by far the desired Expected: is „to close the Full Screen mode from the 2nd monitor”

Seems like there are few people here with two monitors to reproduce this problem.


:arrow: Reproduced (not reproduced, yet. Perhaps you (Pierre) can reproduce and then fix it).

I can confirm that V0.90 still behaves as described in posting #1.

I did not notice that before and at first I was not sure what I should expect in this case. It can be useful to have these two independent fullscreens. It is a little complicated to activate this mode (which suggests that it might not be a planned feature). But on the other hand nothing is missing or wrong. Another F11 restores the previous state.

Thinking a little more about that I would probably change nothing here.
* F11 while in browser tab enables/disables the fullscreen on the second monitor
* F11 while in image tab enables/disables the fullscreen on the first monitor (no matter if the second monitor is in fullscreen or not)
That's easy to remember, straight forward and sounds like a feature. :wink:

That's easy to remember, straight forward and I like it this way. From my point of view solved :)

I heavily relied on the dual monitor full-screen functionality. It even allowed me to browse next/prev photos on each monitor while in full-screen. I'm really disappointed this no longer works. Is it possible to re-add the old functionality as an option in the settings?
