I'm not grasping the difficulty here. In Xcode 4 you *can* open
code files in separate windows, and you can even open multiple
instantiations of the project window (navigator and all); so
what's the problem? I'm not using "one giant window" at all
(except when I want to). m.
One problem is, if you do that, then you have to be careful of the
sequence in which you close the windows.
I think it is fairly typical for developers to have one main window
configured to appear where and how they like, and open other,
smaller windows for particular purposes. But Xcode 4 can remember
only one window configuration, and that is the configuration of the
last open window for a project. So if you create a new window,
resize it, move it, hide navigators, etc., and then close the first
window before the you close the second window, then the next time
you open the project the second window's settings will be restored.
Yes, that's about 30% of the problem. The rules to make this work are
pretty simple and I can't seeing taking an awful lot of work to do it.
1. Allow the Project Window's File Pane to extend to the entire
Window so it overlaps all the other panes. Then allow the Window to
be resized as small as the user likes. In effect giving one pane in
one window. Whenever the project is closed, save it's screen position
and restore it when the project is re-opened.
This is what did in XCode 3 before "condensed" view was added as a
preference or at least before I discovered it.
2. Whenever a file is closed, save it's current screen position and
when the file is re-opened, restore that position.
Cheers
Dave
