Where is the "tile" feature

Post by refract »

Way back then I liked the "tile" two documents side by side when using the Viewer.

I have spent the obligatory 30 minutes searching for "tile" in the Editor and have given up.

Can you point me?

Thanks,
Rex Harrill

Hi Rex,

There is no automated "Tile" - but just drag one of the PDFs outside of the current Editor window - and it will open in a new one. You can now arrange the two documents independently from one another, and can e.g. use 1/2 your screen for one of them, 1/4 for the other, and 1/4 left for e.g. some chat with colleagues :)

Regards,
Stefan

Indeed so---it works as you said. However, in my eyes the Editor way is not as elegant as the Viewer way. You have my vote to urge the programmers to consider elegance when next they have spare time.

Despite my grumble, Editor is compelling software.

Hi Rex,

Sorry - just figured there's something else you can use in the Editor
Main Menu -> Window -> Active document to new Vertical/Horizontal tab group - which will work quite like "Tile" in the Viewer, and you can actually have more than one document (as tabs) in each tile.
