I can see this topic running for a while. Three things today, both multi-monitor related. First, why can't I switch an application between monitors when it has a modal dialog visible? You can't access the title bar (where I have a smal button to quickly flip the window to the other monitor), not can you use the context menu in the task bar. This sucks, and I only discovered it because of my next problem.
Second is PaintShopPro, which I've generally been a fan of for a long time and use for screen captures mainly. I have a very old version, which generally meets most of my needs, but some time last year bought a newer version as I needed a few extra features (ones I've barely used, come to think of it). One of the options on the screen capture page is to show the cursor in the captured image, which is useful for showing which otpion to select in a book image. However, when capturing on the second monitor the cursor isn't captured (hence the need to switch an application between monitors, .the application just happening to be showing a modal dialog). The old version of PSP doesn't even capture on the second monitor.
Third, when you save a new image, PSP defaults to its own image format. Every time. So you capture one screenshot, and save it, changing the image type to your preferred format (TIFF in this case). Capture another image, save it and the type has reverted to its own format again. I didn't use it last time, what makes you think I want to use it this time? Remember my last setting.
I hate software.
