Separate window for Tools & Converters

V

vMark1

When I am using Beersmith, I find I'm often bouncing back & forth between the recipe views and the tools & converters.  It would be VERY convenient to have the option to display the Tools & Converters in a separate view/window, so as to be able to click back & forth between the recipe and these tools.  Perhaps this is already feasible and I am just not finding the right parameter to tweak.

Cheers,
Mark
 
Mark,
  No, this is not available yet, but you can preview a recipe in a window (Right click on the recipe and choose "Preview in New Window") while still having another tool open.

  I'm thinking for version 2.0 I will have all of the options available (perhaps like Firefox where you can Shift-click to open a separate window, and Control-click to open a separate tab with tabbed browsing, or click to just open a tool in the same tab like it does today).  In addition there might be options where one could override it so all tools open in a separate window, or all recipes open in separate tabs.

  Also - I've been experimenting with split tabs where you could display two tabs side by side in the same view -- for example have a recipe and tool open side by side in separate panes.

  I'm just starting to experiment with new interface options - but I want to make it more flexible than it is today.  For example I have two screens on my computer and would love to be able to do multiple frame displays when working on recipes.

Cheers!
Brad
