[Feature-Request] open multiple databases within one instance #601

Open waynongithub opened 5 years ago

waynongithub commented 5 years ago

Hi, my database is getting a bit bigger which leads to slow (auto)saving and sluggish navigation. I could split my database and only open the parts I need.

I know cherrytree supports multiple instances, but in my experience that option is not very stable. Cherrytree seems to get quite confused during (auto)save and copy/paste procedures when multiple instances are running, leaving at least one of the instances permanently unresponsive.

Would it be possible to open multiple databases inside the same instance, the way Treepad Pro does? This would also lead to less clutter on the taskbar compared to multiple instances all having their own tab on the taskbar.

Thanks!

For now use .ctb (sqlite) instead of .ctd (xml) for large DB and also consider that the future GTKmm version of cherrytree will way faster
