Not sure if it is possible to achieve what I want - it seems not.
Basically, I want PMView when loading an image to
- remembers its last position (including which monitor)
- size to fit the picture
This doesn't appear to be possible with any combination of the settings (which are very confusing to me).

FYI I have a perhaps unusual setup:


That is monitor #2 is in portrait mode. I use monitor 1 for browsing with Windows explorer and monitor 2 for pmview to appear on.

If I set "Window Position" to "Never move window" then PMView remembers to appear on monitor 2, but is tiny, about 100x20 pixels, only displaying part of the title bar.
If I set to "Move window when required" then PMView sizes the window right, but moves it to monitor 1.
If I set "Position and size to virtual desktop" then PMView remembers the monitor but sizes to fit the screen (not maximised, which is also wrong)

I have set
"Resize window when loading a new image"
"Resize window when editing or zooming"
"Zoom to fit enlarges window to fit screen"

Also, the preferences tab is appearing on monitor 1 for me, even though PMView is on monitor 2. Sometimes this results in it appearing off screen.

Hello Peter (and all)

Perhaps you didn't realise, but many new cameras don't use drive letters. Instead they use PTP protocol, a new standard support by XP onwards.

To be clear, I think PTP sucks and much prefer USB mass storage. But it's common now.

There are other protocols as well that don't use drive letters.

If PMView is serious about importing pictures from cameras, drive letters is the tip of the iceberg, a lot more work is required.
