Dual monitor functionality during the review/find process is important to my workflow.
Is there a way to show the contact sheet, menus and all panes on monitor 1 and just the image of the highlighted thumbnail in monitor 1 in full frame Preview on monitor 2 (like several free viewers will let you)? No matter what I've tried PM insists on keeping real-estate-eating histogram, info and other panes together with the large Preview. I want to see the panes, just not on monitor 2.
In addition, if I double click on a thumbnail in monitor 1 to open the Preview window and drag/maximize the Preview to monitor 2, I can still see the menus and contact sheet on monitor 1 but PM appears to lock the items in monitor 1 so that they are all unavailable (menus, thumbnails and all - ping, ping...ping,ping,ping,ping!). I cannot for instance click on a thumbnail in monitor 1 to change the full frame image on Preview on monitor 2, or access the basic file menu.
Very frustrating. This can't be right. What am I doing wrong?
