Both styles, separate editor windows and tabbed editor windows could
be supported. It could be a simple checkbox to the user in order to
decide which way to handle multiple editor panes. Tabbed editor
windows vs. separate editor windows is a preference. Give the user
the power to decide.
As for multiple monitor users, especially real-time traders who
frequently have 3 or more monitors off of 1 PC, I think the idea of
stretching an application (with all of its windows self-contained)
across all of the monitors is bad design, esp. in the year 2004.
eSignal got this one right in my book. They allow you to do that if
that is what you want. However, they came up with a brilliant
alternative. They modified the title controls in each window the
user creates to allow it to be de-parented (and re-parented again)
from the eSignal charting application and switch ownership to the
Desktop, thus, allowing the window to exist outside of its original
MDI environment. They did it because they understood how real-time
traders use their product and their goal is to make their product
seamless to the act of trading.
Like I said before, Tomasz. You are the AB Czar. Your will
translates into action. But I also know that your time is limited
and you constantly have to weigh your available time to what is
reasonably doable. Some things are worth the extra effort and some
aren't. But if it doesn't break your back to implement, let some
graphical user interface layout alternatives be decided by the users
with a flick of checkbox, etc.
