You can only detach the complete tool panel, but neither the browser nor the thumbs. And for max use of a second screen, being able to detach not the complete tool panel but individual tool tabs would be the optimal solution (Bibble 4 did that...)
As I said in my OP "if I use the History, Filter or Layers, these appear on the second screen and while I am Cropping, its Panel appears there". I make that 5 including the Tools Panel - all the clutter that obscures the Preview Image :!:
I don't know what Bibble 4 had, but it sounds good...
Tadjio -

How, exactly, do you detach the entire tool panel in ASP? Nevermind - I just figured it out (had to check "float tool panel" in View. I'll try this out see if it makes the program feel any better for me.

Popup tool != Panel....
Semantics or pedantry?
An essential difference.

The issue people are complaining about is a lack of detachable panels. No the UI elements that are floating anyway.

cheers

I'll agree with you on that one. (Lack or paucity?)
btw I noticed that the ASP View menu refers to the "Filter Panel" :!:

I think lack is better suited here ;-)

What? Now you want consistency as well? ;-}

Touche. Learning in a hurry can be embarrassing. Oh, well. :)

Hello,

I just bought a graphics card capable of displaying on 3 monitors at once and found this post while browsing the forum for information on how to take advantage of it with ASP (er... forget the 3rd monitor : quite useless for me :roll: ).
I'm somehow disappointed that it isn't possible to have the picture displayed on its whole on the second display while other tools and thumbnails stay on the main (or vice-versa). :(
For me, just being able to detach the tools pannel isn't that useful : I never used this before, and I don't think I'll ever do it some day. Rather (un)mask the pannels when needed and use shortcuts.

Regards,

J.-L.
