File Preview Missing on Second Monitor
Hi all, I'm having an issue where my file preview panel won't show up.
I undocked the panel and moved it to my second monitor in order to have more space for editing. On closing the editor and reopening it, the preview panel was nowhere to be seen. This persists even after toggling file preview in the "View" menu, restarting and even uninstalling and reinstalling Calibre. Does anyone know how I can get it back - for instance by resetting window positions somehow? Thanks for the help. |

I just did a quick check of this in v3.46 and didn't have a problem (Windows 10, Surface Go with external HD monitor in "extended" mode). I don't normally use the Preview window undocked so I don't have long experience with this mode.
One trick I've used to restore window locations with other programs is to turn of, or otherwise blind the computer to the existence of, the second monitor temporarily. This forces Windows to move all windows to the main monitor. What OS (exact version) are you using and what version of calibre? |

If OS is Windows and the problem is just a window lost on another monitor issue, then with Calibre running try right clicking in a clear area of the taskbar and select Cascade Windows or Show Windows Stacked. This will pull all windows back to the monitor being used.
