MapInfo Pro

I think it would be fantastic and relatively straight forward to implement an option so that every time you run a query or open up a new browser window, for it to be floating instead of docked. I'm not sure if this is already possible but I imagine it would be extremely useful.

Some of my colleagues have lots of floating windows (It's easier for them) and every time they run a query or open a new browser they have to move everything out of the way just to "un-tab"/"un-dock" the new broswer. I personally move most of my browsers to my other monitor so having this option would speed things up if the browsers I use weren't opened in the floating form rather then being tabbed all the time.

I believe this is sort of how it worked in 32 bit (although they were called tabbed or docked etc.)

I like your suggestion, Michael.

It would probably require a preference as below as not all users might want to use this option.

It should however be easy to do as we already support browsing into a floating window using this MapBasic statement:

Browse * From SOME_TABLE Floating

One "easy" solution would be to add another browse option that opens the browser into a floating window using a small MapBasic application.

That would be awesome Peter!

I think that MapBasic script will be useful for the time being, so thank you for letting me know about it.
