Dual Screen Mode #1356

Open retrorepair opened 2 months ago

retrorepair commented 2 months ago

I couldn't see a feature request for this so I thought I'd open this.

Basically I'm looking to build a dual portrait screen ereader and being able to use Foliate in dual full screen mode would be great. I'm not sure if there's a way to enable screen spanning in a full screen mode?

I figure some desktop users may find this handy too since rotatable monitors are quite cheap these days.

Is this something that might be considered?

I'm not sure what a dual screen mode would entail.

If it's simply a single window spanning the two screens, that should be something that's handled by the window manager/desktop environment.

If you need it to be two separate windows, that's unlikely to be ever supported because there's no way to split a WebView.
