I've upgraded from X6 and Tabs are driving me insane. I drag in any number of images to view and work on them side by side. What do I need? - auto-resizing, floating windows and all the real estate I can muster.
1) Sure, open images using Open or Open Recent... and if the Option is set to "Open documents in floating window" they will open in floating windows, but drag them in from Windows Explorer and they tab. Can we have consistency here? Better still, can we get rid of tabs?
2) Tabs should be optional. They take up real estate and get in the way of working with multiple images.
3) The snap feature which opens the image to full workspace should also be an option. Why should I have to use Ctrl just to dock windows across the top? Lunacy.
4) no auto-resize of the floating window? Seriously? I mean, seriously? Corel clearly wants me to use tabs, but seriously, no auto-resize of the windows? Really? How many lines of coding must that have saved?
Here's where I'm coming from. I use SolidEdge CAD and when they introduced a revolutionary non-history-based method of creating 3D objects they had the good sense to maintain the old history-based method for those who preferred it. Everybody was happy. Cannot the same be done here and allow floating windows exactly as they were in X6, just for those of us who prefer/need that way of working?
This has been an ongoing complaint for over four years.

I think it's very unlikely that anything is going to change this now - unfortunately.
I see web work, I never think in those terms, makes sense though
Pleased you're beginning to see the problem from our perspective, David. As long as people keep saying - it works for me - it'll never change.
I tend to think in 50MB to 1.5GB file sizes.
Confused here. The problem is not with file size but with working between multiple windows, all of which need to be visible. Tabs are predicated towards single window working. I can see how that is ideal for some, but it makes work almost impossible for others.
When you work with large files you tend to only have one or two open due to system resource issues so the multiple Window thing is less noticed.
