Dragging the image tab to a dockable area makes a blue highlight, but doesn't do anything (412.14 KB, image/png)

Description trapDoor 2010-06-24 15:51:13 UTC 
I'm using GIMP compiled from git master (along with babl and gegl). In the Single-Window mode when I open a clone view (View > New View) of a picture, it comes up in a tab where it should rather appear in a separate window. I want to see all changes in the clone output as I make them in the original picture. It won't let me detach the tab with clone view. The workaround is switching to Multi-Window mode. But it happens that I prefer Single-Window or rather mixed-mode (some windows/boxes docked to the main window, others not). Anyway regardless of what mode I work in I think the clone should always appear in a separate window. Otherwise this functionality doesn't serve its purpose.

Putting onto 2.8 milestone so we don't forget to remind guiguru that the spec needs to take care of this usecase.

Next person thinking about bumping: Please don't, it doesn't help, it is only annoying. Thanks.

Tiling should be possible in single window mode to fix this.
Comment 5 Martin Nordholts 2011-03-08 20:40:48 UTC 
To be able to release 2.8, we need to put a limit on the functionality we include in the first release. This is not a critical or main use case for single-window mode, so I'm not going to fix this for 2.8. Removing from milestone.

Hi,

Wonder what the status of this is today. I still think this would be a nice feature, also - for example - when working with two monitors, where you'd have the 'single window' on one and an additional veiw on the second monitor, in a similar way to some video editing applications.
