Multiple Windows in standalone

justinrr · June 16, 2012

Would be great to be able to open multiple Zotero windows in Standalone. Use cases: each window could have a different Collection open, allowing for comparison across contents or simultaneous views into the different Collections. For Mac OS, a different Zotero window could be open in each Space to serve different projects divided across the Spaces.

Seconded. Ability to handle multiple Zotero windows to have simultaneous views of a Collection would be very helpful. For instance, it'd be useful to see the subset of the collection associated with two different keywords simultaneously.

This would be great (with tabs rather than windows), I've often thought about such a feature. But I don't think the devs will implement it themselves.

Came across this thread today. Even though the idea is several years old, it's still a good idea.

One thing I'd change is Gracile's suggestion: tabs should be of the breakaway sort, so they can be pulled off as a separate window, combined with other selected tabs, and allow easy comparison between collections.

I was hoping this would show up in Version 5, but no such luck.
