Observed behaviour
On dual monitor setup, the confirmation dialogue seems to appear on monitor 1 even if XYplorer is running on monitor 2.
Expected behaviour
The behaviour I would expect is for the confirmation dialogue to centre over the window on monitor 2 - where XYplorer is actually running.
Environment
Windows 11 with dual monitors
Steps to reproduce
Start XYplorer, then doc to edge of second monitor. Copy a file that already exists to get the overwrite warning dialogue (CTRL+F6 in my case). The dialogue appears on the opposite screen to XYplorer.
Evidence
See attachment screen shots of before and after.
I'm really enjoying the product and it really helps my workflow. The reported behaviour is obviously not critical but more of an annoyance.

Re: Issue with confirmation dialogue placement on dual monitors
This overwrite prompt is owned by Windows. I can't control its position.
You might want to try XYplorer's own and superior copy machine, Custom Copy: Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy. This should position the overwrite prompt correctly.
