Dual Monitors not well supported in SVD

from Stardock Forums
I just want to pass this along in case any developers happen to read it. SVD does not seem to handle dual monitor wallpapers properly. Typically the windows desktop will span a "dual-width" wallpaper across both monitors when the display mode is set to tile. On SVD, in tile mode (or any other mode) only the leftmost half of the image is displayed on both monitors.

EDIT: Additionally, I just realized that the mini-views on the toolbar only support the primary display. Again, while this is not a big deal, it does make moving windows on the secondary display from one desktop to another difficult. The window has to be moved to the primary display, transferred to the desired virtual desktop, switcht to that desktop, and then drag the window back to the secondary monitor. While its may not be a big deal, I just figured I ought to get the word out. At least where I work dual monitors are becoming much more popular, especially among software developers. Adding dual monitor support to SVD would make just a bit more useful.

I see this is an old problem, but I'd really like some information on when/whether it's going to be addressed.

I use dual monitors, and SDVD does actually seem to figure out that the desktop spans two monitors, and sort of handles it. But it does two bad things. First, it's snapping any window that opens to the primary display. This behavior persisted under ObjectBar even after I removed the SDVD tool from the bar, and even after I uninstalled SDVD completely. Second, if you use the "hide windows" mode (mode 1) when you shift to a different desktop it piles all of the windows into the primary display. It doesn't do that if you use the "unsupported" mode 2.

Any developers listening?
