Re: WinSCP and multiple screens

IMO: No, it should start on the monitor where it closed last time. At least that is how other applications handle it (correctly).

OK, reopening ... :-)

Shouldn't an application start on monitor, where it was launched? (the monitor, where icon was clicked for instance).

No, it opens on the primary screen. Also, if I move the login dialog to the second monitor and open a connection, the main WinSCP window will open on the primary screen again.

Thanks for considering this problem.

WinSCP and multiple screens

Hello.

I always use WinSCP maximized on my secondary screen. Unfortunately, it does not remember this. On startup, it does maximize, but on the first screen. So I have to un-maximize, move to second screen and maximize again. It would be very cool if it could remember the screen.

Thanks for considering.
