Feature request - pseudo multi-file panes in TCmd

Post by *Xyzzy »

Hello!

I have seen many ppl requested multiple file panes in TCmd. I thing there is a simple solution to this request.

Feature request: ability to dock 2 TCmd windows together.

1. They remain like two separate opened TCmd main windows, but simply are moved together, when docked. There is no "main" instance.
2. There is internal command to undock docked windows. After undocking (from either window) they can be simply moved independently.
3. Possiblity to hide main menu bar and title bar would be handy. There is a need to determine GUI element that would support window dragging if there is no title bar visible.
4. Docking could be performed by using internal command and then dragging a TCmd window to another TCmd window. It would work like "snap to grid" option in graphics programs.
5. There is a set of internal commands referring to "the other" window, identical to these that currently refer to left, right or source, destination filelist.
6. There is a set of startup parametrs, that enables starting two pre-configured TCmd instances in docked form.
7. Depending on a setting, the windows can be resized separately or like one window.

What do you think?

Tabs serve the same purpose.

You know you can drag/move files to any visible tab, right?

Yes I know.

But you can at any time display only two tabs.

My concept would also help ppl that request non-modal search, synchronize dialogs.

Oh, I forgot:
8. Provide options for some kind of synchronization between docked windows (like synchronous changing of directories).
