Spreading over several windows: not only for Bibles #75

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
If the same Bible module is open in adjacent windows and the Bibles scroll 
together (have the same pin position), the Bible text is spread over those 
windows, with the notebox at the end. If the scrolling is interrupted (by 
chaning the pin position), additional notebox show up in those windows. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> Make those text spreading also work for other modules (commentaries, books 
and resources) and
-> add the pin feature also to commentaries and resources to stop spreading
This would be particularly helpful for resources, if the notebox would be only 
in the most right window and can be switched into full size and used to 
navigate the other window(s) of the same resouce, see also issue 74 .
The same would apply for books, see also issue 27 and issue 74

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XS Portable-2.14b.zip in WinXP

Please provide any additional information below.
Remark: Requesting pins for all 4 kind modules (Bibles, commentaries, books and 
resources) does not make the meaning of the pins ambiguous: As there are only 4 
module windows, there can be only pins of the the same kind in action.

In 3.5, all types of modules, except dictionaries, may be spread over multiple 
adjacent windows.

In 3.5, pins are now available for all types modules, except dictionaries. 
Pinning any window now does only two things:

1) Makes the window's location fixed relative to all other windows. A pinned 
window's location can only be adjusted independently, using its own previous 
and next links.

2) Freezes the window's linkage (if any) to adjacent windows. A pinned window's 
linkages (or lack thereof) remain stationary regardless of changes to other 
windows.

I believe this solves all the above mentioned issues except the one regarding 
dictionary (resource) modules, which may be incorporated into this scheme at a 
later date.
