Am I the only one who ever wished you could open card 3 and
card 10 at the same time? side by side, like a split screen
in a text/code editor?
having the PB open to one card "A" and the actual stack open
to card B works pretty well, but some not so well.
This is coming, but not for some time:
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2786>
My understanding is that the team wants that as much as the rest of us,
as they have some IDE plans in store for it.
But as we know, they have rather a queue ahead of that, so I don't know
what any official estimates might be but I wouldn't expect that this
year.
So in the meantime I can think of two alternatives which might help and
can certainly be done in a couple hours on a Sunday:
1) View-only: the import snapshot command was enhanced many years ago to
allow rendering of objects directly into the screenshot buffer rather
than being limited to what's on screen. This includes objects that
aren't currently open. Try it. Kinda fun. You can make a viewer window
that has some list of cards, and when a card is selected it gets
rendered in an image so you can refer to it while you're working on
another card in the actual stack.
2. Copy out and back: If you need to interact with objects in the second
card you're viewing rather than just see them, you could copy them out
to a viewer stack, and copy them back when you're done. Not entirely
without trickiness, depending on how your stack is structured, but maybe
worth exploring if that has high value for you.
