Usecase: Imagine an English assembly (or map) for translation to
French.
The user wants to split the window and keep English text at bottom,
and
French on top. Thus splitting the window horizontally (though I
believe
the issue is relevant when using vertical splitting as well). Thus,
to
begin with, there is a English assembly at bottom and a French at the
top. ASCII illustration of such a window:
|sembly-en.xml| <--Tab on top-----
Lorem ipsum
-- |horizontal split|-------------
Lorem ipsum
|sembly-fr.xml| <--Tab in bottom--
Working on 2 assemblies or 2 maps at the same time, inside the same
XXE main window, is not common.
Now, when clicking the link to a topic file inside the French
assembly
file, the user wants the tabs of the the french topic files to become
opened side by side with the French assembly file. That is: at the
bottom of the window. The practical benefit is that one can easily
inspect parallell files. E.g. in the above ASCII illustration, both
French and English document is visible at once. Had they both been
located at top, one could only inspect one at the time.
Current behavior: Currently, the topics open side by side with the
top
tab regardless of whether they are opened from the French or the
English
assembly file. Thus both English and French opens in top.
Not when an assembly has been declared being a master document using
"Tools|Use as Master Document".
In this case, a topic opened from an assembly, is displayed at the
opposite side of the assembly.
That is, the assembly and its topic are displayed side by side.

By grouping a master document and its module documents, you inform
XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) that all the module documents referenced or
included, directly or indirectly, by the master document are related.
When XXE knows that some of the opened documents are related:
...
* if the document view area is split in two parts, the module
documents opened from a master document will appear at the opposite of
this master document. This allows to use the view of the master
document as a rudimentary navigation pane.

Workaround: Having become opened in the top part, one may move the
Frenchg topics to the bottom, manually. But would it not be logical
if
files that get opened by double clicking a linked file inside a
bottom
located tab, would also - by default - become bottom located?
Assemblies
and maps can contain very many topics. Hence it is useful if one can
avoid "mousing around".
When "Tools|Use as Master Document" is used on an assembly or map, the
behavior described above seems pretty logical.
