LZ interfaces on different two parallel displays?

[Andreas Borutta]

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a second display to use it parallel with the
existing.

Is it possible to place interfaces of Lightzone like the browser pane,
the folder pane, the zone mapper, the sharpen tool etc. onto the second
display?
In other words:
I like to use the whole space of one display for the edited picture and
the other display for everything else.

Did anaybody tried that?

My System: Kubuntu 6.10

Thank you.

Regards, Andreas

I must say, that's a good idea. I have a dual display myself but haven't
tried to use it with Lightzone. I guess that's one advantage of the
"floating menu" concept, like what the gimp and (to some extent)
photoshop uses (or used to use, haven't used photoshop for many
editions). I don't know if there's any work on the table for lightzone
to be able to switch between the two. If not, may i suggest it?

I hope so. But I assume, that there are not many applications whose UIs
could be splitted.
And to split the UI of a couple of certain applications is my main purpose.
Sure it is also nice to have e.g. your mail client or browser always
visible in one extra display, but well, I'm not much a multitasker.

No, I usally even avoid to see overlapping windows of different
applications. I almost use every application in fullscreen mode.
That decision will change when I will use a display which is a lot
bigger than my actual 19".
But enough of this personal thoughts.

Good to know. Thanks.

May be the developers like the idea and will implement splittable
pallets in a coming version.

There are two ways you can use LightZone with a second display:

You can open two LightZone windows.  They will be completely independent
and noninteracting, but if you have the memory to support it, you might
find this useful.

Or, you can stretch the LightZone window to be extra wide, so the image
you're working on occupies one entire screen, while the tools that go
with it land on the other.

I need interacting.

The browser at the bottom will be devided.
No, I don't think I would like working with an LZ stretch limo.

To enjoy using two displays it needs panes/ pallets which could be
separated - IMHO.
