Greetings everyone,
I have been working to support the feature of multiple tabbed file editing
in OpenSCAD. This feature is now merged in master branch and the
corresponding snapshot(OpenSCAD-2019.07.28) for linux and windows can be
found at https://www.openscad.org/downloads.html. Snapshot for macos will
be available soon.

I hope users find this feature useful, and let me know of any suggestion or
bug. 😀

Here's a quick peek of the gui:

With regards,
Romit Kumar

Hello, I did the test with several files. To switch from one file to another
I have to force the preview (F5) or the rendering (F6). wouldn't it be wise
to automate the preview? Good new feature! Thank you.

While this feature can be useful is some cases, I guess in general case it
is undesired. It adds preview processing overhead on every tab switch,
which may not be required in most cases.

I still can't see a good use case for my work style. As the viewing window is
disassociated with tab programs.

The only one could be having the main program and libraries on tabs.
In that case I could see for example having Auto-reload&Preview on the main
program*, so you edit a library & save, go back to the main to see the
results. That works now with multiple instances.

*That raises the question of whether that setting should be tab specific?

Admin - email* me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid...

click on my MichaelAtOz label, there is a link to email me.

Why? Just use only "Open in New Window"?

ciao,

Because it doesn't have a keyboard shortcut? And I didn't even know about
"Open in New Window"? :-)
Generally I am a fan of options especially when a default behaviour changes
but ok I'll try to adjust.

Hmm, right. I guess we really want to have that as configuration at
some point.

Meanwhile the shortcut is pretty much CTRL+N / CTRL+O though :-).

The problem is just that the settings handling becomes a huge amount
of code, so if we can somehow limit for what we add settings, that
helps.

ciao,
Torsten.

I too would prefer this as a configuration option. As-is, it's made
using multiple windows be a second-class citizen.

It's settings or menu options. It seems likely that the implementation
size is comparable. Menu options are in-your-face user interface
clutter, and having two variants each of the short cuts, buttons, and
Recent Files menus would be worse still.
