Description

How it works as of today:
Using spacebar opens the quicklook window on the same display the explorer window is on.
Using the Pin function on the window-top-bar only freezes the window and opens a new one.

What would be nice
An option to make quicklook memorize it's display and size. So after quicklook is closed and opened in a new explorer it jumps automatically to the correct display stretched to the right dimensions.
This would be insanely useful for account with 90* roated displays.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the QuickLook window is opened with Spacebar and how the Pin function handles the window. The work is done when a closed QuickLook window reopens in the saved display and size, including for a new Explorer window and rotated displays.
