Yes, separate windows definitely much better IMO. I think the trend towards one big window has been adopted on the Mac because of the iPad/iOS. This is silly IMO because iPad’s only have one screen but on a Mac you can have lots of screens - I have 4 on my main development machine and having one big window is a real pain. I would have thought that for CAD/CAM and Photoshop type apps, most people would be using multiple monitors these days, so I’d go with the separate windows based on that assumption with maybe the option to dock them…… Cheers Dave _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
