Improvement of readonly windows
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 1:56 pm
Hello Petko,
I appreciate a lot the readonly windows.
I use them to address the need of reading a document while editing another one. For example consulting a meeting report to prepare agenda of next meeting or building a report from bits of several notes.
It would be great to have writable windows but I understand that currently it is hard to implement. At least using readonly windows is a useful workaround.
I think that this feature can be improve with some additions:
* enable following of hyperlinks from within a readonly window;
* add a refresh button on the readonly window to update its content (if modified in MI)
* add a goto button (or re-use the edit button) to select in MI the document; this work one time but not always when there are several opened read-only window
* add a "pin to top" feature for the readonly window
* add a copy link button that insert a link to the document in the clipboard (can be use to insert a link to the document in another document.
The general idea is to facilitate the handling of information present in several documents to build a new content in another document.
Thanks for your attention and your great work.
