--- Comment #2 from Rob <[email protected]> ---
I was going to add a new feature request but I found this one that seems pretty
much what I want, so I am just adding my comments to it.

I’m a long-time Lightroom user and I am looking at possibly transitioning from
Lightroom Classic to digiKam (currently trying version 8.7). 
One key workflow feature I’m missing is dual-monitor support for previewing
selected images.

In Lightroom Classic, I could:
        View the thumbnail grid on Monitor 1
        Have the selected image automatically display full-screen on Monitor 2
        Navigate images in Grid view and instantly preview the selection on the
second monitor

digiKam used to offer an option to open previews in a separate window (sometime
pre-8.x), which allowed similar behavior. That option seems to have been
removed or deprecated in newer versions.

While the Light Table provides some level of dual-monitor use, it:
        Requires manual setup every time;
        Doesn’t automatically follow thumbnail selection, and;
        Isn’t ideal for quick single-image review

Request:
Please consider restoring or adding:
        A setting to open image previews in a separate window;
        Or a proper "second monitor" preview mode that tracks the selected
image in the main view

This would dramatically improve dual-monitor workflows and bring digiKam closer
to the experience many photographers are accustomed to.

Thank you for your fantastic work on this open-source project!
