Additional debut book window

[Szustan]

Hello,
I have several interesting debut books, and sometimes I'm missing an additional (second) window for the book.
Please consider this option.

Best regards

That is a good idea. I see Scid vs. PC has the ability to open two books. I should be able to easily implement that.

Before I start though, would you want to open more than two books at once?

Hello,
I think more than 2-3 windows is overkill.
I wonder what other users think?

Are you thinking about separate windows, or something similar to this image from scid vs. PC (we could probably make our version look a bit nicer) where they keep the multiple books in one window (I'm showing a poor example because I have the same book open twice, but I could have chosen another book for the right panel)

Hello,
I prefer the solution like in ScicCommunity, two or three independent windows.
Regards.

Hello @Szustan -- unfortunately I went and ahead and implemented the "one window" solution before I got your answer. It seemed like the more "compact" solution and makes it easy to compare different books. I like this layout actually. It is available in v5.1.4.10

The new book window is shown below. You have to select a number other than 1 to get multiple books (books for each panel are selected using the drop downs). Let me know what you think!

Hello,
Thanks! It looks great!
