Possibility to "drag out" one file

Post by SABESOFT »

Hello, dear developers,

at the moment I am using pdf xchange with standard options, so every file opens as a tab in the same program.
Sometimes I have to compare two of the files, so it would be nice to see them near by near - I have a 30" video and want to print as less as possible. Therefore it would be nice I could drag and drop (in my opinion on the tab) to create a second window of pdf xchange with that file.

I hope that I could explain my idea - if it is already possible please let me know how and than sorry in advance.

Hi SABESOFT

thanks for your input. As you point out you are using default settings. We do support multiple instances of the Viewer so you can have your documents side by side.

Code: Select all

Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Application --> Allow Multiple Instances
We do not at present support drag and drop between instances or as Firefox does dragging a tab out of the current instance to create a new instance. We are looking at adding this kind of feature but nothing has been finalized. Please wait for version 3.
