Is there a way to open bookmarks in new tabs?

Post by Hunam »

I don't want to lose the current view, but I want to look up several bookmarked pages of the same document. And possibly keep them opened for future use.

Hello Hunam,

If you use the Window -> Split feature - you can see two portions of the same file - and when you click to activate one or the other - bookmark clicks will move the view in the currently active area - so you can navigate both independently using the bookmarks tree.

Regards,
Stefan

And you actually CAN make a new tab and even have it split by Window - New Document Window (where "new" is not a "new document", but a "new window" for the same document). Who woulda thunk...

If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

Also, it would be nice for XChange to remember opened pages along with zoom in the split view, not just in regular view. ;)

Hello Hunam,

Thank you for the post and suggestion. I see that the current behaviour can be set such that the Editor does, in fact, remember the split, however, both split views are opened based on which view was in focus when the document was closed when the preferences are set like so:

I have created a feature request to have independently retained views for split views of a document. I cannot guarantee that this can or will be implemented, however, it will be seriously considered by our development team.

Cheers!
