Author Topic: Feature Req: New connection opens window offset from previously opened window?  (Read 1907 times)

Hey JD!

  One minor annoyance: I work with several connection windows open at once, since I'm always forgetting some css trick and am poking into css files from other jobs I've done .. and each time I open a new connection a new window is opened .. but right in the same place as the previously opened window.  If I move the new window over, and then open another connection, that window is directly over the top of the previous one.  I'm always then either dragging one off to the side, or using Expose to figure out how many windows I've got open which have been buried.

  I like how Apple Pages does it when you drag several documents into the Pages app: it opens them to the right (until the right edge of the document bumps into the right 'wall' of the monitor and then starts over again on the left-most location) and also alternates placing them higher and lower.  Can't describe it well, but drag several docs into Pages and you'll see what I mean.
 
  Do you find this a good enough idea (and hopefully easy enough) to implement?

Hi there :)

Yes, it's easy to add. As it happens, the fact that Yummy doesn't offset the windows has been considered a feature by many, so I'll need to keep that behavior too.

I will add a preference option, I guess.

Cheers,
Jason

I'd suggest a shift to the right and down...like 15 pixels down and 15 to the right.

Of course, with a tabbed interface...

Cool JD.  Dang, must be hard to keep all of us happy!  :D

As for a tabbed interface, if it was only one main window with tabs that wouldn't be any good since I sometimes open two windows and drag from one to the other. 

So many choices... yes, I suppose pref options are the way to go.
