another wish from me - tabs

I'd like to have my Maxwell render window similar to google's chrome and others:
Instead of having a few opened windows of MR I'd like to have 1 main window with tabs for every render left opened or running.

That would look cleaner and hopefully also saved resources.

...and they would all crash at once when one of them crashes for some reason. :lol: j/k

That's the old standard argument against multi document capable programs too.
Still there's many very successful programs which use that principle.
Afaik Chrome would not crash as a whole, when just one of the Tabs crashes.
Maxwell could even establish a auto-recover as it has recently saved versions at disposal anyway.

no way.
Chrome has several processes running together so if 1 tab or extension fails - it will not crash.
Same manner maxwell should be. So I can compare few renders without going to ACDsee etc.
And maxwell should not crash !

Oops, didn't know/see that. :)
Sounded perfectly like what "all" Software-Makers said years ago and some probably still say.
Thanks for confirming that this will be in V3. j/k

I hope he was kidding ... Maxwell doesn't crash. Only if you try to render Chuck Nurris.
(sorry for that bad joke :))

Not even then.. Only when you try to instance Chuck Norris.

Because there can only be one Chuck Norris.
