Change how x-ray and vst's behave Dual monitor w/floating MultiDoc
Actually this behavior has been st same throughout the x series IIRC.
I use 2 monitors and I normally un-dock the Multi-Dock window and place it on the second monitor. If I open a vst or other plugin that floats above the Multi-Doc and click on the CV or any of the other docked views the plugin disappears behind the Multi-Dock and I either have to click on the icon to open it again or minimize the Multi-Doc to get to it.
To me this seems like a situation tailor made for X-Ray except if I hide the plug with X-ray it still disappears behind the Multi-dock.
This is not how it behaves when the plug is over the main Splat window. Instead the plugin stays on top of the window and I either need to use x-ray, close the plug or move it out of the way if I want to get to something underneath.
This leads me to think that I need to request that
1): The Multi-Dock behave the same as the main window when it is undocked or,
2): Have the option to dock the multi-dock on the right side of the main window. Currently it will only dock at the top or the bottom. If it would dock at the side I could manually drag the main window across both screens and slide the division to the center so to effectively split the view across the 2 monitors.
Either if these would "fix" the issue with x-ray and the floating Multi-Doc.
I've done a little coding in my time and I believe this is because the floating windows have the same level of importance and the floating Multi-Doc so when the Multidoc is selected it moves to the front. This is how individual programs behave as well so the first request could be a bit tricky.
Honestly either will make me an several others happy me thinks.
Guys please vote on this if you think this is of value.
