I guess my program is a combination of Surface and that :) I think I posted the video in a blog post (about better GUIs). Oh, and I guess Viewer2 will continue to be free in the future because realistically speaking there are dozens of comparable software (read: competitors) out there - for free.

I think it disables the other screen even if you just have an SDL window open (not full-screen). But if the windowed mode works, I have a workaround (I'd still rather have multiple monitor support). Thanks for the heads-up. BTW, I think you mean this: http://bumptop.com/ I admit the above is a catalyst for me to write this software, though I and a lot of people have done this kind of sorting for ages by just moving stuff in a piles on the Windows desktop. ;) I'm also glad that Microsoft image explorer thing has a similar fresh "at a glance" type browsing. That should inspire others, too. The dual screen issue is an SDL issue, so I can’t really do anything about it (and the SDL team seems to develop in a leisurely pace nowadays).

Just not sure whether this is due to Vista. By the way, i really really impress (even my friend) with this software - it change the way we manage photos/images (especially nowaday digital photos everywhere) from the past experience, the design is cool, the effect is cool (when you drag a object (photo) out then move in again in the group of photos without release the mouse), the effect is so cool! just like i think someone posted a concept before which developed in flash, the way to manage a file (stack, move it move out etc), really amazing! the dialog box bug seem like fixed but the latest version seem like having the multiple screen view problem. i mean, when extend my desktop (i have ati catalyst control center installed) to another monitor (actually LCD TV), i have hung issue in Microsoft Vista.
