All dialogs should open on the active MP3Tag window

[Valik]

In multi-monitor setups, MP3Tag’s dialogs don’t always open on the same screen as the active MP3Tag window if you change the screen you run MP3Tag on and then move them around. You end up in a situation where they could appear on any monitor. This behavior was explained by ohrenkino here:

Request: Stop Anchoring any Dialog Box/ Window in the Middle of Main Window of App

Sorry, I cannot get anything out of these pictures. A quick research shows me that by far not all dialogues appear in the middle of the main window. File>Options: fixed position File>Playlist: fixed position Search box tag source: fixed position File operation dialogues: fixed position Track numbering assistant: fixed position Actions (quick) dialogue: fixed position DB cleanup: fixed postion Message boxes: keep last position Convert dialogues: keep last position Actions>Actions: keep…

My situation is somewhat more complicated as I may have a different PC/laptop displaying on the monitor the dialog appears on so I won’t even see it.

Some dialogs can be moved after activating with Win + Arrow keys, but others, specifically the Quick Actions and Auto-Numbering Wizard cannot be moved that way and must be manually dragged with the mouse.

Please look into having the option to make all dialog windows automatically open on the same monitor as the currently active MP3Tag main window, regardless of where they were last used.
It would prevent off-screen dialogs, ensure consistent behavior, improve usability across multi-monitor environments and save my sanity.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's on my internal wish list of things to improve.
