Thumbnail Preview option Multi-Displays

MDBU with Shrink to Fit active will only show on the primary display if there are two monitors. I'd like an option as to which monitor to show a thumbnail preview ?

MDBU preview on file icons appears on the first screen even if the XY window is open on second screen.
Nowadays i almost always work on my LCD monitor which is attached to my laptop, so every time i try MDBU i have to turn left to see the preview in laptop screen. Would be great if you can fix this soon.

F9 > Mouse Down Blow Up > General > ALL unchecked.
XYplorer on Second Screen. F9 > On right mouse down [Check] > Stay up [Checked], Fit image to screen [Checked].
Right Mouse Down - Image shows up incorrectly on 1st screen rather than 2nd screen.
Left Mouse Down - Image shows up correctly on 2nd screen.

XYplorer on Second Screen. F9 > On right mouse down [Check] > Stay up [Checked], Fit image to screen [Unchecked].
Right Mouse Down - Image shows up correctly on 2nd screen.
Left Mouse Down - Image shows up correctly on 2nd screen.

Now if F9 > Mouse Down Blow Up > General > Centered [Checked] or/and Shrink to fit [Checked]. All is wrong and shows up on 1st screen.

thanks for replying guys.
Its only happening when pressing on file icon in all views where file icons appear.
Sorry for not describing correctly in previous post. MDBU preview indeed works as expected in Thumbnails view/Tiles View/ on thumbnails in "details with thumbnail" view with left and right button here.

This is too complex to do without a second monitor. There are millions of factors and combinations. Sorry.

...and you're still not convinced that working with 2 (or more) monitors can be very helpful, I'm afraid :roll:

OK: can be a problem on selecting how to position them :P
