Have the "Add filter(+)" menu appear at the mouse. (On windows)

[Randomloser]

I suggest having the “Add filter(+)” menu appear at the mouse, or somewhere inside the main shutcut window.

I have a multi monitor setup, and the “Add filter(+)” menu, is floating somewhere on screen 1(See example 1).

And shotcut is running on screen 2|3(See example 2).

I know this a strange layout(I have a complex reason for running it this way).
Just having shotcut running on screen 1 solves it(As it makes the menu appear correctly on screen 1), but that’s just a workaround.

If I run shotcut on screen 4 the menu disappears altogether(Can’t be seen anywhere).

This is on windows if anyone was wondering.

I tried playing with two video monitors recently and posted my findings here:

Dual Monitor Screens - Info

Many of the “fancy” NLEs have the ability to move the element panels, especially the Monitor panel, to another video screen. I don’t have the fancy DVEO Vidport video card but I do have a second video monitor which identifies as Screen 1, with the default being Screen 0. I tried switching to Screen 1 and had to restart my Linux PC. Dang! Since that didn’t work I moved Shotcut to the secondary screen and maximized it. That works fine. I found that all the panels except for the Monitor have two l…

I came to the conclusion that, although distributing Shotcut’s windows in alternate positions across multiple monitors is possible, it seems to work best on one video monitor. In an attempt to answer your question, as long as the Filters window is open and not obscured by anything else then the Plus option to add filters ought to be visible.

Well in my setup, screen 1 is usually not visible by me.
So I have to work on screen 2, and only screen 2.
And having the filters window floating on screen 1, is a odd experience.

This is addressed in version 17.11 by embedding the filter menu into the Filters panel instead of being a popup. Besides, I want to give the filter menu more space to add features soon like categories, search, and possibly a preview thumbnail. And I do not want a popup to be that big nor do I want a dialog or separate panel. Check it out.

Cool, I’ll take a look at it.
