Hi! Is this a regression? As in it worked properly in previous builds (ie. 331) but not in the latest release (332).
I'd test it myself but I'm not at a location I am able too.

Bug: Password dialog box opens on wrong monitor.

When opening a PDF with a password for example the Password dialog box opens on the primary monitor even though I have PDF-XChange Editor located on my second monitor, ideally the Password prompt should be centered...

Re: [Suggestion] More commands in right click menu of tab
To me that looks bloated... I hope there is at least some logic in that if only one PDF is open, you don't get all those commands like "Close all Tabs But This", "Close all Tabs to the Right", etc. and have those only show when 3 PDF's are open or more.

Why can't you support both? The Editor already accepts JPEGs as imports, so this seems trivial if when you edit some image in a paint program and save it as a JPEG instead, the Editor should pick this up.
