With the caveat that I haven't checked Resolve 15 to see if any of these things have already been implemented:
1. I use an iMac Pro with an external Thunderbolt Display and I'd like to be able to see the timeline in one display and full-screen playback in the other (I can sort of do this with the Color page and Full Screen Viewer, minus the timeline). In dual-screen mode fullscreen playback is only possible in the Edit page on the Thunderbolt (outboard) display, but I'd much rather see it on the better built-in Retina display. Or another way of getting a similar result, I'd like "Single Viewer Mode" to be an option when using two displays. It's grayed out in dual display mode.
2. In order to maximize both timeline space and viewer space/quality while editing I often use "Full Screen Timeline" but have it set so the timeline is on my outboard display and the viewers are on my built-in Retina display. But when I switch from the Edit page to the Color page, it puts the viewer on the same display as the timeline (ie, the outboard), which means the viewer jumps from one display to the other, or my Retina to my Thunderbolt. I'd like to be able to toggle back and forth between Color and Edit and have the viewer stay put on the Retina display. Instead I have to switch my "Primary Display" setting every time I switch between Color and Edit. Same thing happens when turning "Full Screen Timeline" on and off, the viewers jump displays. I'd really like to be able to "pin" them to the Retina display regardless of any other settings.
3. I'd really like it if when trimming instead of seeing the A-side and B-side of the trim point in the record/timeline viewer at half the usual size, the trim mode took over the entire viewer area:
normal layout is: SV | RV
current trim mode is: SV | A:B
preferred layout is: A | B
4. I'd like to be able to move individual panels around - for instance, when I'm in "Full Screen Timeline" mode, I'd rather have the Metadata panel on the timeline screen and not the viewer screen. Similarly, when I'm on the Color page it would be nice to have the option to open the "Timeline" panel on the same screen as the "Keyframes" panel, instead of always taking up valuable real estate under the viewer.
5. I agree with the dual "pancake" timeline request.
