slideshow on second monitor

Post by ellolo »

Hi all,

When starting a slideshow on a second monitor attached to a laptop, the pictures are truncated on both sides (pictures from a Nikon D70: 3000x2000)
According to my testing, this happens because the resolution of the monitors are different:
- primary: 1680x1050 (laptop screen)
- secondary: 1280x1024 (CRT)

It works fine for preview (displayed on second monitor to fit with the screen size: adjust to the right and left and unused part top and bottom)
Just to test, I've changed the resolution of the primary to 1280x1024 and then the slideshow on the second is correct.
It seems that the slideshow used the resolution of the 1st instead of the 2nd although the preview used the correct one.

The problem was already present in 1.90 (I've installed 1.91 and the problem is still there).

Don't know if it is an known bug and an option I didn't find (I've made a lot of configuration testing without success).

Thanks for this wonderful product.
