I’m new to this forum, so apologies if this suggestion has already been made. As well as ‘Split Screen’ views for stacked corkboards and writing, I’d also like the ability to have ‘multi-screen’ or ‘multi-window’ views for these functions. At home I work on two screens and it would be great to have one stacked corkboard showing on one screen, and the other on the other screen, and to be able to drag and drop between them and do all the usual things. It would also be great to write / edit / read two documents in two different windows / screens rather than the split pane. It would enable us to see more of what we’re doing at one glance. I know that the ‘Quick Reference’ panel does this is some ways, but it would be good to have full functionality in both screens / windows.
I would also be a fan, I have 3 1080p monitors. However, equally important to me is the ability in Windows 8 on a “shared desktop” multi monitor configuration (where instead of 3 desktops it is one huge desktop) to maximise it only to the screen it is currently on. Most apps these days support that, but Scrivener currently is either windowed to a size or covers all three screens on maximise.
If you have two screens then you can configure Scrivener to use your secondary screen for the full screen view. That enables you to have one document open full screen, and also have the binder, split panes and the inspector open on the other. Potentially, that is three documents at once, or one document, your cork board and your research – along with your document notes.
Of course, that wouldn’t do anything for three screens (unless you keep your research documents in something like DEVONthink) and put that on your third screen.
