Which device are you using?
iPad Pro M2 12.9"

What problem do you see this solving?
Support for multiple windows on the iPad would be amazing. Like how it's done on a normal desktop/laptop.
For example, Shooting tethered – one monitor for preview and a grid view on iPad or using the second display for a live view, ... etc.

Also it should support portrait and landscape orientation 

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Today.

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals?
Using my older Macbook would be a solution. But because the iPad with M2 processor is so powerful, I've been mainly using Capture One on the iPad for shooting tethered. It honestly has been working great for me. I've used it to shoot fashion look books and jewelry photography. Support for a second display would ease the workflow and having a bigger preview for me and my client would be so great :)

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes

  Thanks David! I need to check with the team if something like this could be possible.. If you want this because you work with others, why don't you use Capture One Live instead? you can share Online the Capture Album and open the link on the other device. This is one of the reasons we added Capture One Live early in the product, to allow for mobility and team collaboration without the need for extra screens and hardware. What do you think? Could that work for you?

  I think the use case for me is pretty much the same. Reason is that I can use the iPad as a second display via MacOS continuity feature on location without needing extra hardware to setup up a true wifi network.

  What Peter said;

  I don’t really need it for collaboration. It’s more for having a bigger preview for me, crew and client to see when shooting on location or studio.

  Ok, thank you both! It sounds like you have something like Capture Pilot in mind. Have you ever used it? I'm adding my colleague Mathieu-B just in case he wants to chip in..
