N20061124-0010 Allowing to open the compare editor from the Synchronize view in the background is really neat but currently I am restricted to one editor. I would like to click on several files and let them fetch in the background. This would allow me - who often has slow connectivity - to click on all the changes and do some other work while this is loaded in the background. This is especially helpful for looking at all the incoming changes in the morning.
I'll try to investigate this in M5.
There is now an option on the Team preference page to reuse editors. Turing it off will allow multiple editors to be opened in parallel.
Michael, can it be done using something like Ctrl-Double-Click?
It is tricky because Eclipse has an open strategy that can be configured to be either single or double click and the open event does not contain any information about the original SWT event. This means that you would need to hardcode the behavior into the sync view as a double click listener. The problem with this is that is doesn't offer the user any tailorability. So, in summary, it is not a trivial fix so I wouldn't want to piggyback it on this request. If you feel this would be useful, I would recommend entering a new enhancement request.
The reuse vs. open in same editor plus the ability to let the user override its current preference is also discussed in bug 168379.
