Parenting of config dialogs in multi-monitor setup


Matt Foster
 

I have dual 27" monitors, and I have checked "Use Multiple Monitors" on all applications. I have all of my DX Lab apps on the secondary display. When I click "Config" on any of them, the configuration dialog appears on the primary monitor. It's slightly (not terribly) annoying, so I was wondering if it might be possible to have the config dialogs more tightly "parented" to their respective applications.

+ If you move the Configuration windows to where you want them, they should re-appear there the next time you open them.
