So, in darkroom mode, you'd have twice the same image: one together
with controls (sidebars, drawn masks, ...) and one with just the
image on the second display.
One could start dreaming of being able to spread several 100%/200%
previews around the image which are shown on the 2nd monitor. One could
e.g. have one 200% preview of a dark area of the image to have always a
noise preview and a 100% preview around the eyes and hair of the model
for sharpness assessment. Hm, maybe it's time to wake up ;-)
I don't use a dual-display, but I like the idea: one would almost
never need to move the mouse to the second display ("almost never"
because it may make sense to have different zoom levels on both
monitors), but get a permanent fullscreen view on the second
display.

hi,
i think it'll not be as simple as that. darkroom mode assumes that
the panels are where they are and you don't have to travel for
kilometers with your mouse to find a control widget.
also lighttable mode would potentially mess with the image
selection which may have weird side effects in darkroom mode. not
to mention that panels would be confused which widgets to show. a
much simpler approach might be to run a separate thread in the
background that renders the darkroom image in full screen for the
second monitor.

Thank you all for your replies! A 15" laptop it is then with a
larger external monitor. Now I'm only keeping my fingers crossed
for dt to support both monitors (UI on one, photo on other) one
day. But no big deal, I just get a larger monitor for the
additionally required screen estate :)

Aha, it looks like I'm not the only one to have this exact idea.
Also looks like:

Yes, I can drag it to one, but then it stays on that monitor.
What I'd love to do is to have the lightable on the left monitor
and the darkroom on the right.
Let me make it more explicit:
# Situation
Often I observed that there is a trade-off between space eaten
by toolbars (especially in darkroom) and convenience.
# Idea
IMHO dual screen allows to get the best of both worlds:
* one monitor shows the lighttable and all toolbars at all times
* the other monitor shows the only photo being edited when in
darkroom mode, fullscreen, no toolbar, no border
# Benefit
Dedicating the first monitor to all non-photo stuff makes
available the *full resolution* of the second monitor to be used
for the photo. The user would have to move the pointer often
between the two screens, but experience working with two screens
for other stuff has already proven IMHO that it's not a
problem.
# PoC implementation
A proof-of-concept might even be as easy to implement as " have
the darkroom image widget in its own top-level window, instead
of the center of the darktable window".
The user can then just drag this window to their preferred
monitor and voilà.
What do you think?
