Are you doing > comparison work? Something else? Is it a very frequent use case? For me two things: 1) Yes comparison ... lets say you took a few photographs and want to pick one. While flicking between images helps sometimes you'd want to see them side by side. 2) Different context ... I am viewing image x on workspace 1 that has something to do with the task on that specific workspace ... if I for whatever reason view an image on a different workspace (different task / context) I don't want to replace the already opened unrelated one .. that'd be just inconvenient. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
