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.

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.

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

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.

I use xfce4, so it's not Wayland.

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.

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.

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.
