Unable to disable fullscreen view on 2nd monitor

Post by dglp »

Unable to disable fullscreen view on 2nd monitor - when I de-select the dual monitor tickboxes and restart the application, the 2nd screen display persists. The tick boxes are ticked of theor own accord. De-selecting does not work.

How do I disable that feature?

Hi Pierre,
that temporarily disables it - but next image I move to brings it back.
It's something in the settings that fails to get overwritten.

Solved! Unable to disable fullscreen view on 2nd monitor

The fullscreen mode is an option in two places - and I'd only changed it in one of them.

I'd been trying to deselect the option via the View | Fullscreen tab where Dual monitor, Use second monitor (Browser & Slideshow).

I'd forgot that there is an option in the Browser | Preview tab there's an option to Use fullscreen on second monitor for previewing.
I suppose the clue (Browser & Slideshow) wasn't quite enough for me...
