Separated View - New Document Should = New Tab

[nwhit]

Be nice if in the Separated mode when you create a new document and all of your current documents are in a unified tabbed window, the new window would open as a new tab, not as a separated window.

 

Because our workflow (copying layers to new documents) works best in the Separated mode, but we need tabs for the numerous open files, that anything new that we open or create would respect the tabbed interface being used. Kind of slow going when every newly opened or created file needs to be redocked.

 

Thanks.

I like how it works in Photoshop.  Tear off a tab to view one window in a separate screen while all the other tabs are clustered together not cluttering your desktop.

Yes, exactly. If you are using the tabbed window mode, when you Open an existing document/file or create a New document, it should open within the tabs as a new tab, not as a free floating window. Then when you need/want to detach a window/document, you can do that. It shouldn't default to opening/creating as a free-standing window when you're using tabs. 

 

Also wish that when you crop or other things that the document wouldn't zoom out to fill the screen/window. When you work on web artwork or other smaller graphic elements and you have a 27" screen, very frustrating to have to resize back to the previous "normal" size after each change. The "art-board" or window itself is always nearly full screen in order to provide the neutral background for the artwork, but you want the artwork itself to be near 100% most of the time. Needs to retain the current view after making changes.
