fix multi-monitor behavior?

Media Monkey isn't very multi-monitor compliant.

I have 3 monitors in the following config

[3][2][1]

where 1 is the primary monitor for several reasons. Media monkey always comes up on screen 1. I drag it to screen 2 (stretched to two screen widths so i can see all of the columns). Once I close it and reopen it's back on screen 1.

Popups have a similar behavior. While I always reposition MM to the same config, the popups sometimes appear on screen 2, sometimes on screen 1. The most prefered solution would to just have them reappear where I last left them (not just the screen, but the x/y coordinates).

Tech junk...
If tech info matters, screens 2 and 1 are the two outputs of a single video card (ATI 9600XT - AGP) and screen 3 is the output of a single output Radeon 7000 (PCI). However I see the same behavior when using MM on a dual screen setup using a laptop with a dual screen (non mirrored of course) configuration. (secondary screen is to the left as well).
From a coding standpoint this means the X origin of screen 2 is (-1280) and screen 3 is (-2560) since monitors map from the origin of the primary.

I run 2 monitors. When I start Media Monkey it works fine, however if I minimize it, it simply will not restore......on any monitor. *sigh*

I have no choice but to look for another program.....

Awesome, both my systems are dual monitors and MM's lack of support is one my biggest annoyances!

I know what you mean, When I DJ, I mostly use MixVibes and Multi Monitor is essencial.

There was few unsettled things that I hope been fixed with my fixes.
I tested it several hours (200+ MM closes) and 100% worked

and it finaly fixes the bug when MM i not trte Maximize.

I adressed this problem a while ago (http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3831) and i'm very happy to hear that this is likely to be fixed. Thanks very much!
