Not sure where I saw or heard it, but there was mention of dual monitor support for Bridge. I have been using dual monitors for Photoshop for sometime but have not figured out how to do the same with Bridge. When ever I drag a tab to the second monitor it just snaps back. Oh yea CS3.

Thanks for any help

    See the multiple monitor section of this posting. It sounds like it supports a few things, but isn't full support.

    You can't drag a tab out of a Bridge window or between Bridge windows. The tabs only live in the window they're in.

    Opening a second window is the key. You then move the second window to the other monitor, and then hide or show the tabs you want in each window. It's kinda clunky, but it works. You can open as many windows as you need. I sometimes have multiple windows open on a single monitor, or four windows open on two monitors, etc.

    If you follow the posting jfriend linked to, you'll see that opening a New Synchronized Window is great for having thumbnails and metadata readouts on one monitor and a mega huge preview of the selected thumbnail on the second monitor.
