Last time I tried to do this I found it quite complicated. Basically there were no controls to clone a panel and the panels are not stored anywhere in a simple format on a filesystem, so that it could be somehow automated Given the amount of comments in this feature request and points that it's big UI experience downgrade when coming from other platforms, this feature needs to be implemented in one way or another. Even if a panel can be cloned with several clicks, it's still quite cumbersome to do, especially when we're talking about laptops which can be attached to all sorts of monitors and projectors in meeting rooms. Imagine doing this 3-4 times per day, for people who often need to present in different locations. I think when people talk about mirroring a panel, it doesn't mean mirror pixel-by-pixel. It's about the set of widgets and their settings which is hardest to do manually. That aspect doesn't depend on monitor's resolution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
