UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I'd love to see multi-window or multi-monitor support, so that you can undock the image pane and move it to a full screen on a second monitor. I do a lot of zoom in/out and rearranging of the Analytic results, preview pane, and file list to get a better view at each of the images, subs and integrations. Having a dedicated extra screen would drastically reduce this effort and provide a larger workspace for user experience.
Found this under your development priority, and would address this desire.

Low Priority:
- add support to detach image viewer with histogram to a separate window so you can drop it on another screen attached to your computer.

Hi Jonathan Schwab @merkwood,
Which APP version are you using? Please update to 2.0.0-beta29 if you haven't done so yet because it supports actually what you are proposing. When you click on the CFG you will see an option to have the image viewer in a separate window. Enable it and click save 😉
You can also detach the frame list.
Please let me know if that works okay for you.

@mabula-admin : I was using 2.0.0-beta29 and just didn't know the setting was available. It works well. Only oddity is that the image window seems to have priority over the processing tools, ie, you have to manually shrink or move the imaging window to get to the processing window if they overlap. Just clicking on the processing window doesn't bring it to the front like standard windows within MS Windows. Thanks for pointing out where the setting was.
Hi @merkwood,
Excellent, glad you found it now 😊
Yes, that behaviour is not perfect yet, it is on our radar to have that fixed as well. Thank you for pointing it out as well.

The next release 2.0.0-beta31 has this issue fixed. I will try to release it within the next 7 days.
- FIXED FOCUS issues with multi window setup
As reported in this post https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/rfcs-request-for-changes/multi-monitor-support-image-window-on-2nd-monitor/#post-31710 there were focus issues with the external image viewer windows relative to the main application window or the console panel window. If the external image viewer would be in front of the main application window and it would fully cover it, you could not get the main window to become visisble. This is now fixed for all situations where APP application windows are in front of each other. Each APP window behind another APP window can be moved in front and in focus.
Thanks again for pointing the issue out.
