Re: Feature request: split view
There is a way to get multiple snapshot views of a document.
File->Duplicate will make a second copy of a file and open it in a separate window. For safety's sake, I save the duplicate with a name like "delete-me". Once the file is saved with a name, you can click the "lock" checkbox.
I like the lock feature because if I start to edit in the wrong window I get a message warning me the document is locked.
It's not the same as multiple, editable, views of a document, but I think duplicates could be helpful in some situations.

Re: Feature request: split view
I wanted to give this a bump. Of the features Mellel lacks this is the most significant for me yet probably one of the easiest to program. Please?

Re: Feature request: split view
Just wanted to add my voice to those who have already requested this feature. It's one I regularly wish were available.
Re: Feature request: split view
+1. This is important when you need to refer to a previous point in a document.

Re: Feature request: split view
This seems to be one of the more popular requests, as it keeps coming back to the top of the forum. I really hope it isn't a hard one to implement.

+1000.
Really, when writing long documents, this is essential.
Edit.
Oops. I’ve already commented but forgot I did it.

Re: Feature request: split view
Great idea. Or at least one sheet on which to have notes or excerpts always present in the layout
Re: Feature request: split view
I would love having this feature! Great for long documents.

And what the developers say? Could it be done? And how long does it take to implement this?
