Post New Requests Here / IDEA: MDI child windows to parent windows
« on: November 08, 2007, 03:29 AM »
In the popular irc client mIRC there is a feature to send the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) child windows (the inner windows) to the desktop. These child windows become parent windows and they are visible on the taskbar and in the alt-tab taskswitcher which is very useful imo.
I was wondering if it could be possible to create a software which is able to 'send child windows to the desktop'. For instance in Photoshop or other MDI applications.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: zoom windows instead of maximize (from MacOSX)
« on: November 03, 2007, 02:54 PM »
Mac OS X has coloured buttons on windows: Close, Minimize, Zoom.
Zoom is actually Maximize in most applications but in some basic software like Safari it works as expected: a windowresizer button which resizes the actual window according to its content.
There's a big debate about maximize vs zoom but i think both are important. There are some situation where maximize is much better but elsewhere zoom is more useful.
I was talking about this feature with the creator of the software called DM2 (former DialogMate). With this software you can assign many actions to the Min/Max/Close buttons on Windows (middle/right mouseclick). Unfortunately he abandoned his project.

I think this feature would be very useful on Windows too, do a right click on the Maximize button of a window and have the window resized according to its content. It's like the scrollbars. Their length is determined by the content of the window.

Please somebody tell me if it's a good idea.

Thanks
