I'm trying to use this on W10 with dual monitors. What I'd really like is to have a matrix of camera views on one monitor with a full screen view on the other. Click on a view on the matrix and it replaces the full screen one. Any way to do this?

I don't know how to achieve what you are asking but I've thought of a workaround if you're willing to compromise. Details follow...

Run two instances of the program, with identical matrices, one on each monitor. Double-click the camera that you want displayed full-screen on the monitor where you want it displayed full-screen. Now you have the matrix displayed on one monitor and the full-screen camera displayed on the other.

I can think of several reasons why this arrangement is less than ideal but for lack of a better option?

Here's another solution but it comes with a caveat: I don't have a multi-mon setup to try this on, so YMMV. Also, the description below assumes a 3x3 grid of 9 cameras, modify as needed. Here goes...

ABSTRACT Change your 3x3 matrix to a 6x3 matrix with the 3 extra columns joined. The entire matrix would then be displayed as an overflow onto the second monitor.

2. Click and drag to select, as shown 2019-08-18-155003

3. Click [Join] 2019-08-18-155028

4. Click [Save] 2019-08-18-160640

5. Drag the desired camera from the 3x3 grid into the 1x1 grid. 2019-08-18-155137

6. Here's the part I can't replicate for you. If necessary, un-maximize the window and manually stretch it across until it completely covers both monitors. 2019-08-18-160927
